    A comedy of the ridiculous in which the ridiculous turns unexpectedly sublime.

    Burton has evoked the surface of Ed Wood's life, but in a story about a man who loves angora and frilly panties, he has barely unbuttoned Wood's uniform.

    A cinematic homage as flawed as its subject. Flawed, yet with a peculiar fascination of its own -- what we have is a genuine artist paying sincere tribute to an unapologetic mediocrity, and stooping awkwardly to the task.

    Both the best Tim Burton and Johnny Depp movies of all time. It's in my top 20, undoubtably.
