rotten:
[Curtis Hanson] so intent on getting us to like his characters that he didn't give them enough juice.

fresh:
After enduring a lot of jokes about May-December romances, Douglas comes bouncing back with one of his best performances.

rotten:
Wonder Boys is like a George Cukor movie with a bad head cold -- slow, muffled and vague.

Get going, you laggards.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
11 May 2001

Michael Douglas gives the best perfromance of his career (to be remembered at Oscar time) in this screwball comedy about a college professor who's pushed into maturity by forces beyond his control; a well-acted coming-of-age saga for adults.
