A realistically told story, "The Man Who Cried" touched my heart in numerous ways. From the touching romance to the family division, this movie is beautiful, and Christina Ricci is briliant. Johnny Depp's role made this film that much more worth... Full review

IN SUMMARY The show may not be as great as you remember it, but Season 3 certainly has some fantastic moments. It's hysterically zippy, a mix of cartoony sound effects and Mel Brooks-style gags that are as funny today as they were 20 years ago. ... Full Review

When even she can't make a movie like "The Man Who Cried" interesting, you know the film in question has got to be worse than mediocre - it's an embarrassment for all those involved. However, her remarkable singing talent takes the now teenaged Suzie (Ricci) to Paris, where she befriends a fellow Russian immigrant, a cabaret dancer named Lola (Blanchett) who dreams of big things for the two of them. ...
