The Christmas movies have been lame to be honest.. I've had all this time off and there's not been one film I wanted to see twice... (some of them I wished I hadn't seen once!)
This is the second film of today (and possibly the last one of the year..)
It's Tim Burtons latest production and featured a couple of fine actors. Amy Adams plays Margaret, an artist...sorry, THE artist responsible for the 'Big eyed children' paintings of the 1950's and 60's.. And along comes Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz) a failed landscape artist who pursueds Margaret to marry him and let him take credit for her paintings in order to sell them (well it was the fifties).
I enjoyed this film.. Mainly because I'd see such a pile of crap over the Christmas period I was desperate for anything half decent.. And to be fair that's all this was really... Half decent..
It had its moments. The court scene towards the end of the film was funnier than the ENTIRE length of 'Dumb & Dumber To'.. But ultimately it was pedestrian.. Which is a shame..
Overall *** 1/2
