Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory

Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory (1971)
Seen on DVD 2nd Oct 2008

Basically, we wanted to listen to ONE song from this movie (Cheer Up Charlie)

STORY: 5/7
Based on the classic story by evil child-eating Roald Dahl, Willy Wonka is the story of Charlie, a poor little boy who wins a chance to go inside the most wonderful place on the planet; Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

ACTING: 4/7
The kids in this movie play their stereotypes quite well, to be honest, i LOVE watching Julie Dawn Cole throw her little hissy fits as "Veruca Salt." Of course, the title character is played by (Satan himself) Gene Wilder. I guess he does a good job, but i'm really too scared of him to notice.

SONGS: 6/7
I love these songs. I often catch myself singing "don't care how, i wan't it noooooooow!!" and there is no denying the brilliance of the song "The Candy Man."


OVERALL: 4/7

I wish Gene Wilder wasn't so frickin' creepy all the time.
