Not seen it, no, but heard good things about it. Think EP on Sunday might have played a song or two from it.

Its not what you would assume a musical would be like. All happy loving cheesy songs, its violent and about murder and stuff. For me its one of my fav musicals. Just my opinion though. An other Tim Burton hit.

Interesting. It may just be Sondheim - either love him or not - but it sounds like you came to the film with certain preconceptions, which I would not have had, and as a result, you got more from the film. For me, it should have been a dark tale of revenge but was more of a poor comedy-drama.
[edit] Actually, thinking about it, in turning the musical into a movie with a big-hitter like Depp in the lead role, it has probably reached new audiences who would not normally watch a musical. Suppose it has to be commended for that.
