Not the greatest movie I've seen. I know that in a fantasy world, a hover chocolate can make you fly but I can't understand how vehicles driving through the snow fail to leave wheel tracks.
Hugh Grant's portrayal of an Oompa Loompa was odd in the way that he showed no facial expressions or emotion.
Another oddity was the reunion between Noodle and her mother after many years of being apart. They hugged as though they had been apart for a couple of weeks but I would expect a lot more emotion, maybe some tears.
A bit disappointing overall.
