So how does one begin to describe Wonder Boys to
someone who's never seen it? Comedy/drama, or maybe
an ensemble piece? I don't know if it's best but certainly
Michael Douglas's strangest role. This movie works
because of it's cast and their performances. Toby
Macquire and Robert Downey are amazing.
An almost unrecognizable Rip Torn is underused
somehow, maybe a bunch of his stuff wound up
on the floor, but he's better than what we get
with him, not for everybody this one,
Using my Palm Springs Rating System, I
give the ole Wonder Boys the Four Tall
& Healthy Palm Trees....The Horror!!
The Horror!!
