Alice In Wonderland (DVD, 1999)

Every movie calls you into its world. The secret to a successful movie is whether it can make that world believable or not. This movie, well produced as it is, handsome as it is in its sets, special effects and photography is just plain boring. The main star goes through the motions, with its impressive cast all of which try very hard, but all of who are working with a very dull script. Together with flat directing, the movie appears longer than it is. There are attempts at humor, and with the possible exception of Whooppi Goldberg playing the cat, everybody else is playing an odd sense of dry humor and going through a story we've seen or read before. For all the obvious money spent on the production, it is a very dull show. Don't waste the time.
