CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY Rated: PG Starring: Johnny Depp, Freddie Highmore, Helena Bonham Carter, Noah Taylor. Critic's warning: Scary squirrels, cows being whipped to make whipped cream. Critic's rating: 8/10

Cherry Ripe And No Holds Barred

IT'S THE most seductive, treacled siren call: "Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination." Rivers of chocolate, nut-cracking squirrels, and cocoa-addicted Oompa Loompas. Satisfying vengeance on brats, gluttons, and know-alls. Sweet.
