This movie was awsome i love the drugs and the stealing but it need more drugs sex n rock n roll!

I'm surprised this movie did so poorly with critics. I notice that most problems are with character development. This movie is based on a true story and, in my opinion, this film is primarily shedding light on what happened through that murder. In that regard, it is a very good movie.

Since the rise of John Holmes is never dealt with, "Boogie Nights" is useful to think about as the backstory to "Wonderland". Val Kilmer is so obviously the right choice to play Holmes, showing the porn star's ascent should've made it to the screen, and risk comparisons to the very good(not great) Paul Thomas Anderson film. Not only is Kilmer's performance dilluted by the sometimes excessive cutting, Lisa Kudrow gives another performance(the other is "The Opposite of Sex") that could spark a lively debate about which "Friend" is the superior actress. But, too often, we see Kilmer's reaction while she's still speaking. As for the "Rashomon"-style approach, it's largely unnecessary, but entertaining, because a celebrity is at the center of the reconstructed crime. "Wonderland" has flaws, but it has a pulse, and should be seen.… Expand

This movie is a grim portrayal, not of the porn industry, but of the drug industry, in which everyone is addicted and willing to blow people away to sustain these addictions. However, there is always something redeeming in movies that portray the realities. This is worth seeing if only to witness the downfall of a man with a 13 inch dick.

I also want to know the name / artist of "feels good just to get back home" tune from when mcdermont enters the party scene.

This movie rocks. Great action and fantastic soundtrack. The critics pan it because the characters are too "dark" or "evil". But that is the truth! The story of Wonderland is not a happy musical, but a REAL story of what happens when drugs, porn, fame, organized crime, and a really big dick all collide in a town as corrupt as Hollywood. Also, VERY WISELY they left out any plot line related to John's second wife. Nobody wants to hear that anyway.… Expand
