Nice try, asshole

Directed by: Emir Kusturica
Starring: Johnny Depp, Jerry Lewis, Faye Dunaway, Lili Taylor, Vincent Gallo

Arizona Dream is just about what you'd expect an American Kusturica production to be. It could have used more comedy. I feel weird saying this, but I think I would have liked it more with Kusturica's regular cast rather than big Hollywood stars. Watching Johnny Depp in a movie tends to make it a "Johnny Depp movie" and not a Kusturica movie. Which isn't to say I didn't like it, because I did, but not as much as any of his other films. For Kusturica at the peak of his abilities, check out Time of the Gypsies and Underground.

RATING: 3.5

PROS: wistful quirkiness
CONS: not funny enough; probably too quirky for many people
