  Edward D. Wood (Johnny Depp) has been called the worst director in Hollywood's history. He also has the dubious honor of being responsible for what many consider to be the worst movie ever made ("Plan 9 from Outer Space"). This is the story behind all of the stinkers Wood directed and features his most utilized star, Bela Lugosi (Martin Landau–who won "Best Supporting Actor"). This movie delivers the message: If you are inept and work really hard, you will still be inept!

A poor make-up job on the aliens is but one of the flaws of this film; however, it's good fun. From the mouth of our hero: "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass, and I'm all out of bubble gum."

A tale of sociological horrorAce McCain 12/25/2007 
  Slick, imitative but stylishly directed melodrama done in a semi-documentary style by Roger Corman. Great rock score by The Arrows and fine widescreen color photography by Laszlo Kovacs are definite assets. (3 stars)
