One very vivid memory I had as a kid was watching Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. As an eight-year old, a movie with all-you-can-eat candies and chocolates is as good as it gets. So I was very excited to see how Tim Burton's rendition stacks up to the classic.
Thank God it didn't disappoint. Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last night and I must admit, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Although touted to be a kiddie film, Johnny Depp's humor certainly isn't.
This is one of those films that suspends your beliefs for two hours and lets you feel like a child again. The lure of candies and chocolates haven't diminished after all.
Another great performance from Freddie Highmore - same kid who played Peter in Finding Neverland.
