I was surprised

Rating: 9/10 (17 November 2005)

I have always like Depp, and he has always picked those roles that are a bit "outthere" and this is no exception!! My favorite line...."Everything is eatable, even I am eatable. That is called cannibalism, and that is looked down upon in most societies!!!" that cracked me up!! But, this movie really surprised me, it was actually very good. I found myself cracking up at the sarcasm and slick humor. If you don't get sarcastic humor you wont get this movie nor will you like it. It is slightly the same as the original but with quite a few twists...it is funny!! Johnny Depp plays the sarcastic, silly Wonka wonderfully. Again, I was really surprised, I thought this would be stupid and a waste of time (like "house of was"), but I am glad my kids talked me into watching it. It is funny, funny, funny!!! Deep Roy as the Oopma Loompas is hysterical!
