Not for weak stomachs nor toddlers&preschoolers

Rating: 7/10 (5 August 2005)

I took my 8 year old son (he finished book over summer) and we loved this movie and laughed a lot-however after the Augustus Gloop scene a small child in the audience screamed out crying and then after the Mike Teevee scene and the oompa loompas my son ran to the theater bathroom to lose his cookies.He said that the Oompa Loompa song after Mike Teevee scene was a rather wild ride and not so necessary. My son did not expect the outcome and I think it scared the bejesus out of him!I am glad I did not bring my 3 year old as she would have been scared! I did feel like Johnny Depp was amazingly odd-just like Wonka if you have read the book. Fabulous tale, funny and reflective and political in its own way. I absolutely adored Charlie. My son missed the end but I promised him we would see it again so we know what happened.
