Title: ZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!!!
Review: I have heard how wonderful Wonder Boys is and how it has been unjustly ignored by the Oscar voters this year. So I rented it and have to say that there really isn't anything special here. In fact, I ended up watching it in three different sessions as I fell asleep during the first two portions that I watched. That says something on its own.I think that Curtis Hanson was trying to make an intellectual slapstick comedy when he made Wonder Boys. But that combination just doesn't work here as the disasters faced by the main characters aren't very funny. I thought that the only performance worth talking about was that of Poe, the blind dog who meets an unfortunate end. With a great cast of actors who I have enjoyed in other flicks, it just didn't do it for me.
Is the review positive or negative?
