Wonka (2023)

Wonka (Max) is a 2023 musical fantasy comedy film that tells the origin story of Willy Wonka, a character in the 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl, depicting his early days as a chocolate maker. I was expecting not to like this one and was pleasantly surprised. It gets mostly positive critic reviews.

  2. I was opposite of you. I expected to like it, and I didn't really enjoy it. Have a great day!

  5. Haven't seen this one yet. I was expecting not to be impressed and that's why. Maybe I'll have to keep it in mind after all. ;)

    1. It was a lot of fun. Maybe the kids would enjoy it? I'm not a good judge of age-appropriateness for films...
