Wonderfalls Audience Reviews

Cebalord Very best movie i ever watch
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
adampkalb I like Jaye Taylor because while she is a lot like Georgia Lass from Dead Like Me in many ways, she is a little more interesting and likable than George. I don't know much about the show, and it's pretty forgettable, which could be why it only had 13 episodes, but I already like it way more than Dead Like Me after seeing 2 episodes of both, and it's a little funny to see the talking artifacts guide Jaye in her life. Did you know Ellen Muth also played another Georgia in Hannibal who thought she was dead and had a mental illness that drove her to kill people?
imdb-17918 Want a quirky, well done single season show? This is it.Twists and wrinkles that keep one guessing about light situations that sometimes enter the level of serious philosophy.The actors were all unknown to me, but surely work together to make the relationships work. Writing is straight forward and well timed dialog. Scenes are simple and well set. Each episode is complete, but the series MUST be seen in order to keep the basic relationships clear and meaningful.I suggest this series for all ages. The main characters are in their twenties, but the parents who are interesting in that they have three grownup kids that still hang near home. Worked for this 58 year old male.
loonduck91 Honestly, canceled shows get a bad reputation. Why was this canceled? Oh, it must have been bad. Well now what should I watch? Oh, I know! Maybe Simon thinks that a singer is bad this week! Wonderfalls began airing on a horrible time slot, so after two weeks they moved it, but since all the TV media still said it was in it's old time slot no one knew when to watch it, and the ratings were bad, so it got canceled. Wonderfalls is a very good show with a very strange premise. A woman named Jaye Tyler, who has a college degree but works at a store called (what else) Wonderfalls, and lives in a trailer park, mostly because she just doesn't like people in general starts hearing voices that come from various animals that shouldn't be talking. A wax lion. A quarter. A stuffed animal called a lovesick a--. She doesn't know why these animals tell her to do things, but whenever she doesn't, bad things happen, and whenever she does, good things do, often turning out in ways that are not what you expect, and in situations that seem to go from bad to worse, but really are better than how it would have turned out if Jaye hadn't interfered. Here's the thing: The clues are things like "Save him from her," and "Don't give her money back." THEY MAKE NO Sense, and leave Jaye to figure out what they are on her own. This isn't helped by Jaye's overprotective and suspicious family, her Lesbian sister, her also smart alek friend, and a new crush on a bartender that is in fact already married and moved from New Jersey to Niagra when he caught his wife with a bellhop. Also, Jaye actually doesn't care about helping people. SHE JUST WANTS TO BE LEFT ALONE! The show has a fresh modern voice through the main character Jaye, who sees everything as it is, even when it isn't. And the show is a dramedy, which means that even though it is designed to make you laugh, and the situations are impossible, it is supported with clever, uncliched writing, a talented cast, and characters you can really feel for. The show was canceled after 4 episodes (with an aggravating preview for next week) to be replaced immediately with repeats of a reality show that lasted for one season. It is however available on DVD. The effects are mediocre after 3 years, but other than that it has stood the test of time. All of the plots wrap up after the 13 made episodes, so you can sort of think of it as a very long movie with incredibly convenient breaks. All in all, Wonderfalls is a very clever high quality show that is definitely worth your time.
horus1775 I'm on a hill in the middle of nowhere in Iraq and one guy from my squad pops in the first episode of the show. At first I thought it was a stupid chick show and I was about to make fun of him. But, then the girl started to hear the wax lion talk to her. I thought it was crazy, yet funny. The show could have been really corny yet it was too clever for that. The dialogue is hilarious, the actors are perfect and the show's delivery is superb. Now, there's other things we can do during our few hours of downtime, like playing xbox or watching paint dry in 115 degree heat. But, I found myself enthralled w/ this show and couldn't stop watching it. I couldn't believe it was canceled. What a mistake. I probably would have watched TV back in the states if I knew this show was still on the air. Unlike some people, I hate reality shows. So, after I watched the entire season and the extras, I bought my own copy of the show from Amazon. I plan to watch it again w/ my wife when I'm home for leave. She's into the Gilmore Girls, 7th Heaven and all that girly crap but this show will be a happy medium btw us. Even though Wonderfalls was suppose to be a TV show, it felt like it was a 9 hour movie...and I loved every minute of it.
