Man, I hated that guy the second he got to the podium and said that!
A friend of mine lent me his copy of "Wonder Boys" a few years back. This is the book, mind you. I loved the book, so I was interested in seeing the movie when it came out... but I never did. I actually had to borrow the DVD from the same guy who lent me the book in the first place!
I was worried that the movie would really deviate from the book and try to sensationalize the murders (the dog... the snake). However, though the snake was omitted, they did not. In fact, aside from the whole story with the auto and the trip up north to his in-laws' house, the movie is pretty accurate to the book. I like how the movie was paced as well. Despite all the zannyness of the book, the film and the actions of the actors came off to me as realistic.
Also, I'm glad they shot on location in Pittsburgh. I would hate to see a movie about Pittsburgh (where I'm living now) and it be filmed in Toronto or Indianapolis...

This is without a doubt one of my all-time favorite movies. I can watch it repeatedly and still crack up like I'm seeing it for the first time. SO well done. Rarely is a movie ever this well-written, hysterical and moving. Chabon is a wonderful writer; the book is great, but the movie was better. And how often does THAT ever happen?

I bought this movie on DVD last year after remembering I had loved it when I saw it in the movie theatre. Let me tell you, the second viewing wasn't a disappointment. The cast is perfect, the story touching and funny, and the scene where the dog gets shot one of the funniest scenes in movies. Buy this, you won't be disappointed. I've already watched it 5 times since I got the DVD.

I bought "Wonder Boys" when it first came out, and am ashamed to say I'm only now watching it again. Curtis Hanson has given us a joy ride of renewal and discovery, so loaded with humor and improbability, that the enjoyment level is over the top. Michael Douglas is so comfortable with this role, it's a shame he wasn't given more award recogntion; Tobey Maguire (pre-Spider Man) is perfect, and Robert Downey, Katie Holmes, Rip Torn and, especially, Frances McDormand, are letter-perfect. If you don't already know how terrific it is, "Wonder Boys" is highly entertaining. No need to destroy the effect by blabbing away the plot. Suffice it to say, I will watch this more often when I need a feel-good movie to chase away daily doldrums. NOTE: A disclaimer at the beginning says the film was modified from its original form, edited for content. I'm wondering now if there's a more complete version available.
