Very funny and cute!

Rating: 8/10 (18 July 2005)

I am a big fan of the original film and I am not partial to remakes. I went to see this and loved it. Johnny Depp was hilarious and it was just a really good movie. The ending was a little lame, kinda dragged out. But all in all it was a very good movie! There were some similarities to the original movie, but lots of differences too. Not as much song and dance as the original. Some people were worried about whether or not this movie would be o.k. for kids. My kids saw it and they are 8 and 4 1/2 and they weren't scared or anything. They both loved it. I would say this is a good movie to go to on a date too. It's a nice movie you can cuddle up to and watch, have a good laugh. Johnny Depp was kind of creepy looking as Willy Wonka, but he was very funny! I highly recommend this movie!
