Next Stop, Wonderland

(Miramax)

Brad Anderson's romantic comedy about a nurse (Hope Davis) and a plumber (Alan Gelfant) who's struggling through college and volunteering at the Aquarium with hopes of becoming a marine biologist keeps you wondering whether they'll ever meet. Davis and Gelfant are amiable enough, but the real hook here is the witty script, the energetic craftsmanship, and our own opulent cityscape -- the movie was shot in Boston and makes use of such landmarks as Wonderland Racetrack, the New England Aquarium, and the Burren pub in Davis Square.
