Wonka
4/5 stars.
Just great, great fun. (More fun than LARPing "movie executive" online, like you all seem to enjoy, I imagine). Highly, highly recommended. Has anyone else seen it? |

I'll watch it eventually but it doesn't scream "must see in the theater" at all to me. Seems OK.

Ahhh!!! I hope you love it!
8 is a perfect age for a movie like this. If the kid likes it, maybe get them the book after? (Roald Dahl was a huge deal to me when I was 8. I've read every one of his books except a few, which I plan to do now). I also recommend the soundtrack. Which I bought on our way home, and we've been listening to pretty much constantly since. And, a unsolicited recommendation for the kid: my all-time favorite Dahl book is "Danny the Champion of the World." Which rocked my world when I was 8 (are you 8 in second grade? I know I read it in second grade. Around then, anyway). I have reread that book at least once a year, every year since. And it wasn't until I was an adult that I realized why I love it so much. Spoiler:
It is so, so good. And while I love "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (in all it's iterations. Even the Johnny Depp / Tim Burton one), "Danny" is my all-time fave. Oh! And the "Henry Sugar" short films on Netflix now (based on the short stories from Dahl's "The Wonderful World of Henry Sugar and Six More") are delighful. Weird. Wonderful. Benedict Cumberbatch doesn't miss. Yay! Books!  Quote:

I enjoyed it. It wasn't amazing but it was harmless fun.
