Wonder defines
Wow! Encore! and Bravo! entertainment. This movie marries ‘Let me entertain you’
with ‘Let me show you how to be an actively caring, compassionate person.’ Owen
Wilson and Julia Roberts are perfectly cast for their parts. Jake Tremblay performs
at an above average level.
Storyline
A
young boy with facial deformities enrolls in school, finds a way to establish
friends, and accomplishes academically.

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes.
This movie is some of the best of 2017. It’s a ‘wonder’ to watch, perfectly
developed for excellent family discussion after watching, and has as much quality
as the movie Wonderstruck.
