Critic Reviews

  • Stephen Holden, New York Times

    Next Stop, Wonderland isn't really much more than a beautifully acted, finely edited sitcom, but it creates and sustains an intelligent, seriocomic mood better than any recent film about the urban single life.

  • Jeff Millar, Houston Chronicle

    There's not much to stop for in Wonderland.

  • Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com

    Brad Anderson's stylish and original romantic comedy features a wonderful performance from Hope Davis.

  • Brian Mckay, eFilmCritic.com

    While I wouldn't say it revolutionizes the chick flick, it's certainly more clever and endurable than most of them.

  • Ethan Alter, Film Journal International

    What makes the movie work is the character of Erin, easily one of the most interesting and involving creations, male or female, of the past year.
