I saw "Wonder" last night, I like Owen Wilson and I wanted to catch the film early so that I could rave about it on IMDb.com, but I cannot do that.
The movie is just okay. I got the feeling that it was trying to make a significant social statement, I just wanted some fun entertainment instead. It seems like there are some movie directors in Hollywood that think they have something to "say" and they use their movies to get that message out....but it is just wasted energy, we don't care.
Now to the review: Owen Wilson and Julia Roberts are like peanut butter and gasoline....they are completely unbelievable as husband and wife, they don't mix well. Their acting skills kept the movie going but during the movie I kept thinking there is no way these two would ever hookup in real life.
And what would a new Hollywood movie be without a white chick and black guy hooking up? You guessed it, this movie does it's part at social engineering....liberal style.
This movie is not fun, it is a liberal fairy tale with a liberal message.
I gave the film a 4 because of the wonderful acting by ALL of the children. The kids in the film made it worth watching. Kudo's to the kids!
