If the movie I caught the day before akins to eating sweeten pop-corn, then "Charlie & the Chocolate Factory" is surely the fine dark chocolate one savours. I certainly enjoyed Johnny Depp's Wonka: childish, mischievous, standoffish and even a tad klutzy. As far as the kids go, Freddy Highmore is quite endearing as Charlie. The show is also a marvel of sights and sounds. Director Tim Burton spared no expense with his luscious sets, multicolored costumes, Oompa Loompas and lots and lots of rich, creamy chocolate. Yumz! It captures Roald Dahl's tone succinctly--wildly imaginative, slightly off-centered with a moral center..it is a marvelous confectionary delight, especially to those who like a darker chocolate ... like me!
