Though he can barely afford even one candy bar, fate intervenes, and Charlie finds the last golden ticket. <br> <br> Joined at the gates by a group of despicable brats named Veruca Salt, Violet Beauregarde, Augustus Gloop, and Mike Teavee, Charlie and his Grandfather (David Kelly) venture inside propr...

(07/28/2005, p.92, Peter Travers): "Tim Burton surrounds Depp with miraculous visuals of spun sugar and creeping menace. Their missionary lunacy is a treat for twisted children of all ages."

A twisted vision of feminism and female empowerment.

WARNING: The following review deals in a mature manner with pathetically immature sexual material. Discretion is advised.
I like Sarah Jessica Parker, I really do, and her hubby Matthew Broderick, too. They're my kind of people: Young (sort of), liberal-to-left, socially progressive and...

Cons
Unnecessary subplot
Recommended it?
Yes
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - you know, the one with Gene Wilder - used to play once a year on TV when I was a kid. Only once, and I relished every delicious moment. Oh, the lickable wallpaper, the chocolate river, the delectable fantasy room where each and every thing was sweet and...

Pros
Neat-o ending, nice special FX
Cons
Huge fans of the 1971 version may be put off.
Recommended it?
Yes
Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory (1971) is one of those movies I must have watched over a hundred times as a kid. Even just writing about it, I can hear the music in my head as Charlie goes to open that last candy bar...
