Like Water For Chocolate
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
Roald Dahl's classic story, first brought to cinematic life in 1971 asWilly Wonka & the Chocolate Factory(in a production funded, bizarrely, by the Quaker Oats Company), got the over-the-top Tim Burton treatment in 2005. Apart from noting a thoroughly self-indulgent performance by Johnny Depp, the reviews were mostly positive, withThe Guardiancalling it "an authentic Dahlian gloop, mixing a dash of sentimentality with a quart of satirical gross-out." (Translation: Ideal for kids.)
