There is a lot to like about 'Wonder Boys': very good acting, quirky, funny situations and nice camera work. Despite all that the movie as a whole doesn't work. Maybe it's because the characters lack a better background story. Maybe because the transition from one scene to another is not too clear.
It is still makes a nice watch due to the quality acting, primarily from Michael Douglas and Robert Downey Jr and several very funny scenes. It is still a Curtis Hanson movie and quality is preserved. We see the grainy images as in '8 mile' and the object and facial closeups, but the story lacks coherency.
