Goofs
In the candy store where Charlie finds the Golden Ticket, a man offers to buy it from Charlie for $50, and then a woman offers Charlie $500. Some believe Charlie lives in England and the currency should be in pounds. However, the location was kept deliberately ambiguous by the producers, with some UK characteristics and some US characteristics. The bill Charlie uses to buy the candy has design elements of both US and British money. See more »

Narrator:
This is a story of an ordinary little boy named Charlie Bucket. He was not faster, or stronger, or more clever than other children. His family was not rich or powerful or well-connected; in fact, they barely had enough to eat. Charlie Bucket was the luckiest boy in the entire world. He just didn't know it yet.

I never cease to be amazed by the versatility of Johnny Depp. Whether he is a pirate or writing Peter Pan or an adventurer or a criminal, he never fails to entertain. There is nothing he hasn't done in his 45 films, or will not have done in the five films currently in production or the 15 films in pre-production. Even as the creepy Willy Wonka (Think Michael Jackson for comparison.), he was magnificent. Maybe we have to blame his father (Christopher Lee) for some of that creepiness. After all, depriving your child of Halloween candy is just mean.
But, the real star of this film was Charlie (Freddie Highmore), who was the only sane child that arrived at the factory. He was surrounded by four of the most obnoxious children (and their obnoxious parents) that I have ever seen. They got what they deserved.
The color, imagination, costumes, and sets were magnificent. It was such a pleasure to watch.
Depp comes through again. I am not surprised.
