Edward Scissorhands (Tim Burton’s film after Peewee) almost follows the format. No rich guy and he does start to win over the neighborhood. But one mishap orchestrated by Anthony Michael Hall (breaking out of his nerdy character phase) and suddenly the suburbanites go mob mentality. For a fish out of water comedy, it really doesn’t end all that positively.
Edward Scissor hands is a tragedy that had some studio interference soften the ending. Tim Burton tried to bring back the classic tragedy and ended up with the sugar coated gothic that became his signature.
