__**Synopsis:**__ One day, Peg Boggs(Dianne Wiest) is out selling her make up to her suburban neighborhood. After having bad luck with her sales, she spots an old house at the end of the street, and decides to do some investigating. There she finds Edward(Johnny Depp), a creation made by a deceased scientist with scissors for hands. Seeing him with many scars and the thought of him being up here alone makes her decide to take him home with her. By doing this, she attracts the attention of her nosy neighbors, who all want to meet the mysterious Edward. At a barbecue meant for everyone to meet Edward, they find that he has a talent for cutting hair and hedges into unusual styles, which wins over everyone in the neighborhood. Then, Peg's high school daughter Kim returns from a camping trip with her boyfriend Jim. Kim is frightened slightly by Edward, while Jim dislikes him. Over time, Kim grows to like Edward, however Jim becomes jealous. He frames Edward of robbing his father, and gets him arrested. Luckily, Peg convinces the police that he didn't know any better. But now the whole neighborhood is frightened by Edward, and sees him as a dangerous person. What will happen to Edward now?

__**Message:**__ There are many different taglines for this movie, however the one I think describes it the most is, "Innocence is what he knows. Beauty is what she sees." This means that in the movie, Edward knew he was different, and was shy about it. Kim saw him as someone special and unique. The message of this story is to be yourself, and people will see you for who are.

__**Reviewer's Opinion:**__ I am a huge fan of Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. This is one of my favorite movies with Burton and Depp. This movie is great with an amazing plot and characters. Johnny Depp is absolutely perfect as Edward, and makes this movie wonderful along with all the other characters. My family and I love this movie and I highly recommend watching it.
