Overview

Every good thing in this world started with a dream.

Willy Wonka – chock-full of ideas and determined to change the world one delectable bite at a time – is proof that the best things in life begin with a dream, and if you’re lucky enough to meet Willy Wonka, anything is possible.

Review

Wonka

I am not the target demographic for this movie. Then again, I’m not exactly sure children were the target for the original, either. That said, this leaves all the creepy murder and psychedelic boat rides behind and just leans into children’s movie tropes and cliches. I did enjoy Hugh Grant as the Oompah Loompa.
