Palo Alto Online (Jeanne Aufmuth)
Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)
NEXT STOP, WONDERLAND is an adorable Boston-based romantic comedy, about two total (and single!) strangers (Hope Davis and Alan Gelfant), obviously meant for each other but whose paths never quite cross. Yeah, yeah, been there, seen that, but it works ...read the complete Next Stop Wonderland movie review at Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)

Movie Habit (Marty Mapes)
A refreshingly low-key main character, dialogue that made me laugh out loud, and the film’s belief in the gentlest kind of fate all made Next Stop Wonderland a pleasure to watch. ...read the complete Next Stop Wonderland movie review at Movie Habit (Marty Mapes)
Cinematter (Matt Williams)
Next Stop Wonderland is a nice little independent gem hidden in the post-Summer, pre-Fall film wasteland. A quirky and enjoyable romantic comedy, the film provides refreshing characterizations and plenty of humor. Erin Castleton (Hope Davis) is ...read the complete Next Stop Wonderland movie review at Cinematter (Matt Williams)

No problems came right away, in Brand New condition.
The movie starring Hope Davis is won of her best works, I loved it, It was an earlier Serendipity... ...

11 years on, this movie is mostly of interest because of the small role played by Philip Seymour Hoffman. As usual, he turns a bit part into something much, much more.
But beyond that historical artifact, 'Wonderland' is wonderful. It's ...

Writer/director Brad Anderson's intelligent and easygoing fable about love and serendipity made me a Hope Davis fan for life. Davis plays a laid back Bostonian who finds her love life set adrift after her pompous environmental activist boyfriend (Philip ...

I love this movie. I love the characters, the way they're developed, and the humor. I love love love Hope Davis. She epitomizes who I'd love to be and how savvy I wish I was. A wonderful movie, full of scenes to replay in memory over and over. ...

While it does have moments of wry humor, Next Stop Wonderland transcends the "romantic comedy" genre: it's a slow, wistful romance perfectly matched to the Bossa Nova music that suffuses the soundtrack (available as Next Stop Wonderland: Music From The ...

Great romantic comedy about fate, relationships, and what makes two people right for each other. Hope Davis plays Erin, a nurse in Boston who is mourning the loss of her relationship with her eco-activist on-again off-again boyfriend. He's left her many ...

If ever there was a movie I had a soft spot for, it would be Next Stop Wonderland. If I'm down or need to relax or just want to sit back and see familiar sights from the time of the movie, I pop this in and immediately feel better. It's like therapy to ...

Love this from start to finish. Smart, warm, and sublime. Bossa nova is utilized perfectly as Hope Davis (who has never looked lovelier) gives a terrific performance. You just love watching and listening to her here. Can we a get a deluxe edition ...
by Kenneth M. Gelwas... on January 28, 2005
Once in awhile I come apon a small film (no huge stars, big budgets or special effects), that grabs my attention and just takes me away to another place. The end result is just a good feeling as the final credits roll. The small, romantic comedy "Next ...
by Michael Lodahl on May 18, 2004
Hope Davis is a terrific actress, and here she plays with depth of soul a delightfully and intelligently melancholy young nurse in Boston. What I love about this movie: Ms. Davis' obvious intelligence (intellectual and emotional); the local Boston ...
