It would be tempting to say that fractured time sequences in movies have become a cliché, except that Wicker Park makes your brain spin in surprising and pleasurable ways.

Movies that are entertainingly nuts don't come around very often, and when they do they need to be given their due.

All of this was more enjoyable when Bellucci, Cassel and Bohringer were the stars. Hartnett is overly methodical here as Matthew, and Kruger, as in "Troy," is beautiful but lacking in dramatic intensity.
By Scott Foundas FULL REVIEW

The French original was a clever Hitchcock homage with a murder at its center. For reasons unknown, the murder plot has been dropped from the remake (though a few confusing traces of it remain), which leaves Wicker Park without much real urgency to drive its extremely contrived plot.

If Alfred Hitchcock were retarded, lobotomized, and freshly dug up, he might possibly c--- out a movie like this one.
By Luke Y. Thompson FULL REVIEW

Emotionally stultifying and brain-dead.
By Lawrence Toppman FULL REVIEW

The characters’ actions here are goofy, immature, unsettling and at times downright silly.
