Movie Review: Alice in Wonderland

After much anticipation, the movie that I’ve been waiting to see finally came out in theaters! This past weekend, our family took a little trip to the local movie theater to watch Alice in Wonderland! I personally feel an attachment here because I was always called “Alison Wonderland” in school. It drove me crazy to be called this! I would just say “It isn’t Alison Wonderland, it’s Alice IN Wonderland!”

In the movie, Alice has been having dreams of Wonderland since she was just a child. She’s 19 now, and is at a garden party turned into engagement party. Her boyfriend proposes and she decides she needs time to think. She spots the white rabbit and follows him to the hole. At this point, the excitement begins. Alice is in for much more than she ever dreamed of. All of the characters in Wonderland did an excellent job, as did Alice. My favorite character was the Mad Hatter, which was performed by Johnny Depp. Alice and the Mad Hatter really connected in the movie.

When Alice wakes up, she has to respond to her boyfriend’s proposal. Will she say yes or no? Watch it to find out!

Our family review:

  • Mom LOVED it and can’t wait to purchase it when it comes out on DVD.
  • Dad liked it and probably won’t watch it again. But, you know how dads are.
  • 5-year-old said she was so happy that we watched it! But, she did get frightened during a few scenes and wanted to sit on Dad’s lap. Actually Mom felt frightened for Alice in a few scenes, too. I probably wouldn’t recommend this movie for anyone under 5, unless they are used to scary movies.
  • 8-year-olds loved it!
