Summary: Grady Tripp (Douglas) is a 50-ish English professor who hasn't had a thing published in years -- not since he wrote his award-winning Great American Novel seven years ago. It's hardly surprising, then that his college's annual literary festival fills the former wonder boy with more than his usual quota of self-doubt and anxiety. This festival weekend, however, proves even worse than he could have imagined as he finds himself reeling from one misadventure to another in the company of a new wonder boy, his most gifted writing student James Leer (Maguire). (Paramount Pictures)

Arguably as good as Curtis' more epic classic L.A.Confidential, this clever, funny and well-acted drama/comedy soars on the level of the all-time campus-classical Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf. You'll have to be a cold-hearted bastard not to enjoy it.

Weirdly entertaining. A movie that I think is pretty underrated. I remember thinking I'd hate it, but I ended up really liking it. I probably should see it again. I wonder what made me go see it in the first place.

Cerebrally-engaging flick that refreshingly never talks down to the viewer but instead dives deep into each character's feelings and motivations. Highly recommended as the remedy (antithesis) for each of Michael Bay's films.

The acting is good in this movie. Michael Douglas is particularly good as a washed up writer and professor. The ending could have been better but overall I would recommend this film.

I'm not sure you can go too astray when you adapt most of Michael Chabon's work to the big screen. Wonder Boys is a neatly packaged story that stays pretty true to the tone of the original work. All in all, a good watch.

Douglas is very likeable in his old dressing gown catching a sneaky spliff. There's a nice symmetry to the two "wonder boys" finding themselves at opposite ends of their creative journeys.

A good job with clever laughs, i do wish that Michael was more handsome, instead of looking so crummy all the time, one wonders why anyone would pay attention to him. Still, the pace is good & the situations amusing, leaving little time for rumination.
