            Review: Do not let the trailer fool you! I watched the trailer a million times in the process of watching something else, all the time thinking “okay, that looks like an incredibly stupid movie that has nothing to do with anything except for drugs and sex”. NOT SO! This movie was incredible and so heartwarming. It was a real tear jerker. This movie is based on the life story of George Jung, a man who found out too late in life what was really important and then he lost everything. Johnny Depp is incredible as George Jung. The man himself said he couldn’t believe that he wasn’t watching himself when he saw the movie. This movie is a must see. I repeat, DO NOT LET THE TRAILERS FOOL YOU! I adore this movie!
