By J. Morris TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
An American student (Maggie Grace - Shannon from Lost) gets hit by a cab whilst running away from her father. Feeling guilty and already running late, Whitey (Danny Dyer) throws her in the cab and takes her with him to wonderland, promising to return her when he concludes his business there. Alice comes round with total amnesia and the rest of the film is spent trying to piece together what happened to her and who she is. Ultimately she finds out her name is Alice Dodgson (Literary scholars will be happy here - Dodgson was Carroll's real name) and that she is the daughter of a billionaire who has posted a $10 million reward for her safe return. This has the shady inhabitants of Wonderland all itching to get a piece of Alice in order to pick up the reward, chaos ensues as Dyer wrestles with his conscience and his desire to cash-in.

The characters are well fleshed out, each with their own idioms, Matt King (Rocknrolla) deserves a special mention here as a brilliant, quasi-insane, fairground owner. A favourite of mine was Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum as two bouncers who seem to be a few cards short of a full deck. However, Danny Dyer does play....well, Danny Dyer and continues to provide laughs despite being horrendously type-cast these days. The film is good with a few twists and turns but ultimately feels a bit too contrived and whilst it was a noble effort to bring Alice in wonderland into the 21st century setting, it falls short of any true wonderment. You will have fun picking out who is who from the original into this, but it all feels a bit wooden and the ending is lacking any of the intended emotional punch. A good film, it will whittle away a couple of hours, but don't expect to be changed by the experience.

This film is weird but wonderful...the charactors are fun and the speed of the film is perfect (an hour and a half). Danny Dyer is cased perfectly in his role as a london cabbie, whitty as ever!!
The film picks up on vital parts of the original story (the party, time, drugs etc) and delivers a very modern take on a fantasy previously aimed at children.
Loved it!!

Slightly sprawling, Danny Dyer and Maggie Grace are good but seem a little lost at times. An odd script and minor characters popping in for no discernable reason don't help. Having said that, Danny Dyer does have some funny lines that make it enjoyable. Of all Dyer's films lately, this is not up there with Jack Said or Doghouse. Like the idea of such an odd take on Alice in Wonderland but could have done better.
