He-he, ha-ha, ho-ho-ho! Willy Wonka (Depp)! Willy Wonka! The amazing chocolatier has sent out golden tickets in five randomly selected chocolate bars. The ticket ensures five lucky children admittance into his chocolate factory, which has—until now—been strictly closed to the public. Humble Charlie Bucket (Highmore) is lucky enough to obtain one of the tickets And—along with his Grandpa Joe (Kelly)—enters The Chocolate Factory with bratty fellow winners; Mike Teavee (Jordan Fry), Veruca Salt (Julia Winter), Augustus Gloop (Philip Wiegratz), and Violet Beauregarde (AnnaSophia Robb). Difficult lessons are in store for the children and only one—the least rotten one—will go on to win the most something something of any something that's ever been. Based on the book by Roald Dahl. (Suzanne Hodges)
