This movie has HANDS DOWN the WORST acting and "visual effects" of any movie I have ever seen. Literally, the elevator scene in the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is infinitely more realistic than anything in this movie (and you can nearly see the string holding it). I could give a toddler a computer with Windows '97 on it and he could do better visual effects in Paint. Don't even get me started on the video editing. They fill in this movie with scenes full of flat characters and meaningless dialogue which no one cares about at all, and has no merit. There is also no storyline. I would only recommend this as a comedy... You will laugh your butt off at how HORRID this movie is.
