CHARLIE AND THE
CHOCOLATE FACTORY




Fantasy

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Freddie Highmore: Charlie Bucket
Helena Carter: Charlie’s mother
Noah Taylor: Charlie’s father
David Kelly: Charlie’s kindly Grandpa Joe
David Morris: Charlie’s grumpy Grandpa George

Johnny Depp: weird Willy Wonka, sole owner of the Chocolate Factory

REVIEW
Maybe it got better, but after one hour of watching the childish antics of four unpleasant kids and the puzzling behaviour of the cold, cruel, creepy, uncaring and unsympathetic owner of the factory, I had seen enough of this bizarre movie and left.

CLASSIFICATION
for quirky situations, action and mild language.

FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
When the “lucky” group of five children and their escorts proceed across the courtyard towards the Chocolate Factory, the sun is casting shadows to their left whereas the shadow caused by the factory is directly in front to them.
