surprisingly good but a big joke on Micheal Jackson?

Rating: 6/10 (2 August 2005)

The only reason i went to see this movie was because it was for a friends birthday party. I dreaded going because i thought it was going to be this big joke on Micheal Jackson. I was not wrong. The entire movie SEEMS like the people who made the movie were just trying to make fun of MJ, but it was actually quite funny and i actually enjoyed it.
The movie itself, i thought before going, was going to ruin everyones picture of Raul Dahls book but it was very well done. The oompa loompas were hilarious and their songs make people want to but the soundtrack. The ending was quite surprising too. I had never really thought about that in the play or original movie.
I enjoyed the movie a lot. It was a fun friend/ family movie.
