This is such a family favorite!
My husband and I saw it in the movies and absolutely adored it. The music and singing was surprising but not unwelcome because it was funny and whimsical.
We watched it with all 4 of my kiddos and my nephew and they enjoyed it, immensely. There was no woke nonsense in it, the movie was just good old fashioned fun.
The kids enjoyed the goofiness of it all and as adults we appreciated the depth of it. Maybe it was just us that saw it but Wonka brought light to people who feel stuck in their lives, like nothing is working out but if you keep fighting and persevering you can get out of the slump. Timothee did a great job playing Wonka and I personally think this movie is better than the original With Charlie.
