Taking the classic 1977 original family film and turning it into a uber-weird, crazy mess was not such a good idea. I don't think it was really one specific thing that turned me off, but when the credits began to run, I felt strange and uncomfortable. The kookiness of Depp wasn't enough to keep this flick afloat. Always default to the Gene Wilder version. It's terrific.
