WONDER


WONDER:   And indeed it is, as in wonderful.  Based upon a true story and starring the incomparable Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson, this one will tug at your heartstrings and inspire you with its warmth and humanity.  This is the story of a young boy, August Pullman (Auggie) played to perfection by Jacob Tremblay, who happens to have facial differences and is entering the fifth grade at a main stream school with much trepidation and doubt about his fitting in to unknown terrority. Mandy Patinkin is in the supporting cast as well as a bunch of terrific young actors, most notably Noah Jupe as Auggie's best friend and Izabela Vidovic as his sister. I won't give away any of the plot here but only say it is the perfect film to kick off the holiday season.  It is just brimming with love and good will which is sorely needed this year.  It will bring you to tears but they are tears of sheer joy!
