RavenGlamDVDCollector In keeping with the theme of this movie, Maggie Grace is naught less than the Princess of Hearts.Maggie Grace. Long, coltish legs, which she uses to full effect. Music and magic in motion. Kim in TAKEN and Faith, the muse, in CALIFORNICATION. So, I signed up for this ride...Modern remake of "Alice in Wonderland" has little similarity to the original, albeit in a distorted way, like a drug-induced hallucinatory trip down the rabbit hole of the inner psyche. Along the way, Alice meets characters loosely inspired by the old classic. The Caterpillar is a drug-happy pimp in a souped-up ride, the Cheshire Cat is a super- smooth DJ with an enticing riddle that holds the key to Alice finding herself...It's like this one is a very, very good idea, which plays out fine once we start getting into it, but then, around midway, from there on, the wheels come off and it all loses fizz. Movie turns out to be a miss by a mile after a promising first half.But all is not lost. I enjoyed watching.I'm not going to say much more. Try looking it at from my point of view. That lovely girl, look at her hands. Her hands are gentle pink-tipped creatures. Observe the diner scene, where she covers her face with her hands. See? And earlier on, when she takes out her iPod (or whatever!) Look at those pretty hands. This movie has a magical fairy princess in the lead. It has shortcomings, plenty of them. I can forgive it every mistake, at least while Maggie Grace is on the screen.Ta-ta. Wheaties.

davideo-2 STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning A young woman named Alice (Maggie Grace) runs in front of a cab driven by Whitey (Danny Dyer) who ends up being her unwitting chauffeur through-out a series of increasingly wild and outlandish events that lead to explain why she's being hunted by a load of people for...some reason or other. Malice in Wonderland has the dubious honour of being the one film I've seen in ages where if a plot existed, I failed to make it out. Obviously intended as a post modernist take on the well known 'Alice' in Wonderland fairy tale (given even more credence given Tim Burton's recent big screen adaptation of the story) all it really manages to achieve is a complete and utter feeling of 'what the hell is going on?' It's a messy bad acid trip of a film, which I've just found out is set in the North East of England but could just have easily have been London for all I could make out (even more confusing given the inclusion of cockney actors Matt King and lead star Dyer.) If even early on, it's got you lost and confused it doesn't get any easier as it goes on and Simon Fellows never lets up on the increasing eccentricity and nonsense.Dyer remains one of the more curious actors of this generation, so it's always interesting to see where his career goes, but more far off projects like this might get him a more off kilter fan base. *

Jay Harris Jason Rothwell's script is a satiric modern day version of 'Alice in Wonderland'.Much of it is very silly & stupid,It is somehow partially redeemed in the last 15 minutes. The entire movie is only 82 minutes long before the credits,It has a fast pace thanks to director Simon Fellows. Maggie Geace & Danny Dyer are the leads and both are good. This had no American screen time & has just released to DVD. This is where it belongs. It is not a terrible film nor is it that good, It is a fairly pleasant viewing.Ratings: **1/2 (out of 4) 74 points (out of 100) IMDb 6 (out of 10)

Awesumchiknsalt another sleeper hit for me i just finished watching this and from the reviews i have read this movie is very under rated.since i heard that Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland was coming out it has sent me on a spiral down the rabbit hole once again trying to find all movies about the twisted tale...This one definitely hit the mark with me pretty much all the characters from the original story are in there.. just with a twist.. If you don't like movies that make you think and spin you out like your on some sort of trip you wont like it But if you don't like tripper movies why are you watching alice in wonderland ..Tim Burton's gonna have to do some thing spectacular to beat this in my eyes but i suppose hes got a bigger budget and is aimed at kids to subconsciously send them into a drug fueled adolescence..Circles Circles We all move in circles! .. bring back the mushies !!!!!... Wooooo hoooo!
