Chicago Reader
This low-key romantic comedy proves that destiny-powered love stories can be formulaic without being predictable. - 75
San Francisco Chronicle
Both actors are so appealing, you root for the inevitable meeting to happen somewhere in the vicinity of Wonderland. - 70
The New York Times
Next Stop Wonderland isn't really much more than a beautifully acted, finely edited sitcom, but it creates and sustains an intelligent, seriocomic mood better than any recent film about the urban single life. - 70
Village Voice
The style of the filmmaking, the freewheeling handheld camera movement, the associative editing, and the buoyant Brazilian score convey Anderson's sense that chance plays a major role in our lives and that what's happening on the periphery is often more important than what's staring us in the face. - 70
Dallas Observer
While too many things about the story don't ring true for the film as a whole to work, there is enough in Next Stop Wonderland to keep the viewer wide awake and entertained. - 67
Austin Chronicle
The premise works despite its inbred hokiness due to Anderson's sure direction and the lovely central performances of Hope Davis and Alan Gelfant. - 63
The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
The characters in Wonderland show an intelligent complexity and sharpness of contemporary observation that transcends romantic-comedy clichés. - 63
ReelViews
There are times when, as diverting as it can be, Next Stop, Wonderland feels like a lengthy prologue to an as-yet unmade film.
