...approached me as I was walking down the street and barked in my face, "Hey, lady, what's up with you?" Last week, I walked out of a restaurant because the man in the next booth spent the entire meal looking my friend over, from head to toe, and then, with a satisfied smirk, turned his attention...
Next Stop Wonderland is charming not because it is a groundbreaking movie (it's not), but because it succeeds so refreshingly and so endearingly despite its unoriginal premise. Where other movies would be cranking up bathos-filled love songs, Next Stop Wonderland plays toe-tapping Brazilian music.

While a makeup-free Apple dreamily croons in a '50s diner, mod-looking boys in steel-toe boots trash the place. Sure, we've seen the juxtaposition of music and violence before, but rarely done so well...
