Okay, I admit. I have a bit of a weak spot for all movies that Johnny Depp plays in. It is not that they are always great movies. Because they are not. But he always seems to make something special of the part he plays.

So last weekend we rented Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and I enjoyed the movie so much, especially the character of Willy Wonka, that I stopped comparing this version
to the one with Gene Wilder within a couple of minutes after Depp made his first entrance as Willy Wonka (okay, so I like Gene Wilder too, sue me!).

So if you have not seen it yet, go see it! I can really promise you that you will smile at least once or twice, ‘kay!
