In a season seasoned with off-beat originality in the movies, from Lars and the Real Girl to I'm Not There, you still have not seen anything quite like John Turturro's extraordinary Romance and Cigarettes.

How weird is John Turturro's Romance & Cigarettes? Almost indescribably weird, though also strangely involving.
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times

Romance and Cigarettes is a dark-red valentine to the way that pop music gets under our skin.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

It is not every musical that features lung cancer and James Gandolfini singing along with Engelbert Humperdinck to that every-day-I-wake-up 1960s standard 'A Man Without Love.'

While it looks like it was great fun to film, it's regrettably little fun to watch.
