Not to sound like a groupie or anything, but Johnny Depp really is the only entertaining aspect of this movie. Plus, there wasn't close to enough Salma Hayek in the film to keep the drooling males happy. What the hell?
The director could have saved a LOT of money, and time, but just saying "Aw, hell, phuk the plot." There would be a close-up of Antonio Banderas, then an explosion. Cut to a close-up of Antonio. Cut to a close-up of an explosion. (Are you ready for the element of surprise?) Cut to a close-up of Willem Dafoe. (AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!) Back to an explosion. And there's a close-up of Antonio, again. And then the movie ends.
Sound good? >_<
See this only if you have a good deal of patience, a GREAT sense of humor concerning bad movies, and only if you don't mind explosions. Or close-ups of Antonio Banderas being pensive. There are a LOT of those.

I cannot stand this movie. Absolutely hated it. By the end, I wanted to gouge my eyes out with gummi bears. And I don't say that very often.
Usually not judgmental about films, I had to give it a chance to work itself out in the end, but WHAT A JOKE. This has some of the poorest editing and plot configuration I have ever seen. And I hate knocking the director, but she was very forgettable. I wonder if Christina Ricci even read the script for this movie before she signed on.
One good thing I do have to say about The Man Who Cried -- gorgeous music. Very pretty, very sad Italian opera and gypsy melodies. The soundtrack would probably be better worth your time than the film.
In short... by the end, you just have a headache, and are befuddled at how even Johnny Depp's hotness couldn't save this movie.

This was an interesting movie. The top-rate cinematography made every frame interesting. If the script hadn't been peppered with humor, the film might have been in danger of being a bit too dark, and hard to swallow. The comedy is good, when it happens, and the dramatic bits are good, when they happen. A couple of scenes, in particular, might have you holding your breath. The cast is a good group of actors, who are recognizable, but probably not well-known. They really made the film complete. They managed to be believable, in parts that are in turns a little bit fantastic, and a little bit uncomfortabley believable.
Definately worth a look. 9/10.
