Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

CriticsCritics: 78
AudienceAudience: 6.5

A kind young boy from a poor family wins a golden ticket to tour a remarkable chocolate factory. Guided by its eccentric owner, he joins four other children as they encounter extraordinary sweets, strange inventions, and unexpected challenges.

My take

You’ll enjoy this playful, eccentric fantasy if you like imaginative family adventures such as Matilda or James and the Giant Peach; Not for you if you dislike dark whimsy, musical numbers, or remakes.
