My brother has been on my case about seeing Wonka (2023) because I hadn’t seen it yet and I thought it was so crazy that he enjoyed the movie enough to keep pestering me to watch it because he isn’t really a musical person. Like I’ve tried to get him to watch Newsies and he flat out refuses so I was like “there must be something special about this Wonka movie if this musical hater likes it” so I watched it yesterday and y’all…it’s so endearing! Is it the most amazing movie I’ve ever seen? No, but that doesn’t detract from its value. It’s simple and wholesome, and sometimes that’s all you need. This is my official petition for Hollywood to make more quirky, wholesome, whimsical, simple movies like that
