Critical response to Johnny Depp's performance as Willy Wonka was more mixed, however. Critic Andrew Sarris, of the "New York Observer", who did not enjoy the film's style in general, wrote "I wonder if even children will respond to the peculiarly humorless and charmless stylistic eccentricities of Mr. Burton and his star, Johnny Depp." However, Owen Gleiberman of "Entertainment Weekly" wrote that "Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka may be a stone freak, but he is also one of Burton's classic crackpot conjurers, like "Beetlejuice" or "Ed Wood"." Mick LaSalle from the "San Francisco Chronicle" found that "all the laughs the film come from Depp, who gives Willy the mannerisms of a classic Hollywood diva".
