I wish this had better writing, because MacLaine and Lange are of course trying hard and the basic story idea has potential.  Andy Tennant directed, after the other three of his movies I've rejected for this project.

Odd but not interesting enough.  Bob Dylan stars as the has-been rock star and he co-wrote the script with director Larry Charles.

This is another Tim Burton movie I saw at the time, but with more mixed feelings than with Big Eyes a decade later.  Some of the acting is pretty bad, especially Crudup as the son, and there weren't even any stunning visuals in the first quarter hour.  (The first shot of a San Francisco street in Big Eyes was more colorful and interesting.)  Based on the Daniel Wallace novel.
