Wonka
While a charming family musical, Wonka often loses its footing throughout its two-hour runtime. <PERSON> takes time to find his stride as this ecstatic version of Wonka, which sets the film off to a rocky start, but once he does it’s clear how much fun he’s having in this role. The musical numbers are hit and miss, while the main story often feels more convoluted than it needs to be. Despite this, <PERSON> direction still manages to sell the spectacle of <PERSON>’s tale and his screenplay, co-written by <PERSON>, brings home some decent family fare that many will enjoy. 132
