My wife thinks the Umpa Lumpa song, particularly the line about the fat girl, will give our daughters (1 & 3) problems with body image.

I think it’s a harmless funny movie with fun songs.

who’s being unreasonable?

I'd bloody love to see Willy Wanka.

Just here for the willy wanka jokes

teaandtoastwithmarmite · 01/02/2024 20:26

It's not for 3 year old

Bluetrews25 · 01/02/2024 20:27

I think this should go in classics. Pleeeeeeease!

VanilleA · 01/02/2024 20:28

How did it autocarrot to wanka?

YoureALizardHarry11 · 01/02/2024 20:28

It would be funny if it was an actual typo but the fact that the title is so obviously deliberate it takes all the fun out of it 😐

Please not. Pretend typos have been done to death.

No autocorrect in the word would go to wanka.

3 year olds are too young for a cinema trip anyway aren’t they?

Edited

No 🙄

OpalOrchid · 01/02/2024 19:57

Except it's not an autocorrect. It's deliberate.

Who cares! Still more fun

Wonky winka wink

I agree
I'm trying to make it correct to wanka but it just won't with a qwerty layout

Sunshinemom · 01/02/2024 20:28

No 🙄

They are annoying though!

languagestudenthost · 01/02/2024 20:35

More seriously your children are both too young for this film- they will be bored. Try a mini morning (vue cinema) it equivalent for the 3 year old.
At 3 I took my DD to see the CBeebies panto at the cinema which she enjoyed

I hope that's a joke. Or there really is no hope for MN.

cauliflowerqueen · 01/02/2024 20:44

I wouldn't be so certain it was intentional. Not an autocorrect, but a misspelling? (Like 'umpa' instead of 'oompa'.)

Augustus Gloop wouldn't worry me, but since you'll be watching at home, you could just skip over that song, if it's a concern.

GoldenMeadow · 01/02/2024 20:44

Cazpar · 01/02/2024 18:32

It's not a typo, it's OP trying to be totes hilare.

Probably. Still made me laugh though

GoldenMeadow · 01/02/2024 20:48

But to answer your actual question OP - I think your wife is overthinking it and I think your kids are way too young to enjoy this film or even have any clue about what is going on.

Oh and I believe it's Ooompa Loompa, rather than Umpa

A deliberate typo is hardly classics material 🙄
