Advantages: Lovely to look at

Disadvantages: Not mentally stimulating

My daughter and I went to see this movie on a freezing, grey Saturday afternoon and it was just the right choice. It's lovely to look at, you can drool over both the delicious-looking chocolates and Johnny Depp.

It's best to leave the brain in neutral for this movie. Dobn't nit-pick. So what if Alfred Molino looks far too fleshy, especially round the jowls, to have ever denied himself anything at all. This is NOT a man who has been living on a cube of fish and a sliver of broccoli! And as for Johnny Depp's Irish accent. A scene or two after his first appearance he says something about being Irish; my daughter and I simultaneously turned to each other and mouthed "so THAT's what he's meant to be!"

This movie does what it sets out to do -- to be warm, cuddly and feel-good -- it does it well. That's the important thing when judging a movie.
