Most romances start about the time the central characters meet.
Sparks fly, and we see how they fan the flames. But sparks aren't struck until the final frame of the Next Stop Wonderland . Instead, Brad Anderson's amusing tale focuses on the quirks, happenstance and fate that befall the two should-be lovers before they get together. If they ever do make a movie about the Erin and Alan romance, Next Stop Wonderland will be the prequel. Once a promising Harvard medical student, Erin dropped out after the death of her much-loved father and mentor.
