     The term “eye candy” just took on a whole new meaning. Willy Wonka, the world’s most secretive chocolatier has distributed five golden tickets inviting children to visit his factory. Four of the children are a royal pain, but the fifth child, Charlie Bucket is shy and meek, a far cry from the others. When everyone arrives the doors open to a most fantastic sight: a world of music and merriment, adventure and danger, and of course, candy, candy, candy! Sweets as far as the eye can see. As this gaping group of tourists descend further and further into the bowels of the factory the audience is treated to another dose of madness from director Tim Burton. It’s a diabetic nightmare from start to finish, so turn on your sweet tooth and enjoy.
OUR RATING— ***
ORIGINAL— Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971)
