I liked it quite a bit! As much if not more than Hairspray. I know they are completely different productions but I also burned the Hairspray CD and even I catch myself twinging at Amanda Bynes a few times. The Sweeney CD has no twitchy parts and parts still make me laugh out loud. (Though I noticed I am prone to skipping "These are my Friends".)

Unlike many people I was really iffy about the acrylic red blood. I know it was a stylistic choice, and by the end of the movie one I enjoyed, but I remember being doubtful at first. I found Anthony/Johanna pretty boring, but necessary so I am glad they cut a bit of it out. I was able to put the beggar woman thing a little sooner than I liked as well. I thought the rape scene was eerie and well done because you knew exactly what was happening without showing it. My only other "problem" I has was the kind of wonky CGI in the first few minutes of the film. I have seen quite a few people on my list say it was too gory, especially the montage at the end, but I thought it was really humorous, and was glad to see the spurting and gushing improve by the end of the movie.

So, I guess a very long-winded answer to say I like it a lot and will be adding it to my collection when it comes out. (A rare occurrence for me.) However I admit I do not have much experience with musicals, but I plan on exploring the genre more after liking Sweeney and Hairspray so much!
