Movie Reviews

New York Magazine (Vulture) - 7/10 by David EdelsteinThe movie is unfailingly likable and finally impressive. Goldin doesn’t settle for easy answers, and he makes you think that no one should.
New York Daily News - 6/10 by Joe NeumaierAs a misanthropic guy in a dead-end job, Matthew Broderick is more engaging than when he has to be perky.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Stephen HoldenThe major miscalculation in Wonderful World is the presence of a dream figure, known as the Man (Philip Baker Hall)...he throws this delicate, intelligent film, which at its best suggests a muted hybrid of “The Visitor” and “It’s a Wonderful Life,” off balance.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by Frank ScheckTales of cynical curmudgeons rediscovering their humanity have long been a cinematic staple, but Wonderful World brings a refreshing lack of sentimentality to its take.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Dan KoisBroderick, for his part, is playing a role solidly in his late-career wheelhouse: a middle-age disappointment, Ferris Bueller gone to seed. So affecting is Broderick in these parts -- at this point, only Philip Seymour Hoffman plays a better schlub.
ReelViews - 5/10 by James BerardinelliWonderful World feels like a modern-day half-baked riff on Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol."
Entertainment Weekly - 5/10 by Owen GleibermanIt's all very sincere, but watching a dweebish depressive learn that Life Is Good is a lesson of diminishing returns.
Christian Science Monitor - 5/10 by Peter RainerThis is a half-baked movie about a half-baked person, but it has a fine, melancholic afterglow.
San Francisco Chronicle - 5/10 by Amy BiancolliThe screenplay packs no particular surprises - some of the plot mechanics positively creak - but the leads bring some wattage and warmth to very modest indie fare.
Los Angeles Times - 5/10 by Mark OlsenJosh Goldin, a longtime screenwriter whose credits include "Darkman" and "Out on a Limb" -- and whose wife is a writer at the L.A. Times -- makes his debut as a writer-director with Wonderful World. The results of Goldin's dual efforts are promising but uneven.
