    Hilarious and beautiful!

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 18, 2002

    I rented this for no reason at all and found myself a NEW FAVORITE! Wonder Boys is brilliant and HILARIOUSLY funny in a dark-but-not-too-dark way. Tobey Maguire is stunning and wonderful, and Michael Douglas is fantastic. If you are an inspiring w...riter (like Maguire, Douglas, and Robert Downey, Jr. in this film) this is for you!!!

    Wonder for Wonder Boys?

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 3, 2001

    The Y2K in the movies really sucked but with one exception: Wonder Boys. I think everyone who had some fun in their college years will feel nostalgic and love the spontaneity and hilarity of this movie. Excellent cast, but I have to notice Michael Do...uglas whose performance I enjoyed much far from whatever he has done for a long time, and Robert Downey for whom I am really sorry we don't see much any more on the big screen. This guy knows how to still the hearts of the audience...Go see it or buy it, don't waste more time reading this review... go , go... Read more Less

    DVD Content

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Apr 1, 2001

    The DVD that I purchased (from a Suncoast store) contained no indication on the packaging that the enclosed product was a modified/edited version of the movie that was presented at theaters. This original movie received an "R" rating. Information pre...sented prior to the running of the DVD apprises the viewer that the following DVD product has been modified to an "R-17" rating. After selecting the Play Movie mode, the viewer receives the notice that the product has been "edited for content." As I did not intend to purchase an edited version of the film, I did not play it, but returned it for a refund. Suncoast was reluctant to comply, but was encouraged to do so after I brought up the issue of fraudulent advertizing. This same issue occurred in the recent release of "Manhunter" on DVD. This product, referred to as the "Theatrical Version" is actually an edited version of what made it to the big screen, and was absent a total of more than three minutes of critical footage. Ironically these products still present the FBI warning against duplication of the product that was sold via fraudulent advertizing. Go figure! Read more Less

    oddly inspiring

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 19, 2001

    There's something oddly inspiring about this movie's combination of jadedness and hope. Grady Tripp (Michael Douglas), for example, ought to have given up a long time ago: his writing is going awfully, his personal life is in shambles, and even craz...ier things happen DURING the movie, but somehow he just keeps getting in his beater of a car with a joint in the glove compartment and heading on. James (Tobey Maguire) is okay being homeless; Robert Downey Jr.'s character seems the most irrevocably dissipated, and yet by the end he's got a potential bestseller on his hands. The movie's Pittsburgh is hellish, dirty and always precipitating, and you really wouldn't want to share lives with any of these characters, but you have to admire their doped-up resolve.
