Five golden tickets are hidden beneath the wrappers of Mr Willy Wonka's (Johnny Depp) delicious chocolate bars - five golden tickets which will change the lives of those who find them. The winning children are invited through the gates of Mr Wonka's Chocolate Factory to see all the secrets and magic inside and to meet Mr Wonka and his staff of Oompa-Loompas. For Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a poor boy living within sight of the factory, winning the fifth and final golden ticket is just the beginning of an unforgettable adventure.

Theatrical report

Charlie and the chocolate factory is fun for the whole family, however, I do feel obligated to point out that (a) Mr Wonka is a little too much like Michael Jackson for my liking and that (b) 5 children chosen at random out of 6 billion people will be caucasian.
