[Q]: carla gugino graduates from high school and instead of staying in her small farming town , she goes to college in california .
there she meets the residential advisor pauly shore , who is a city boy .
when gugino goes back home for thanksgiving , she brings shore with her , and her parents ( lane smith and cindy pickett ) are less than thrilled .
dan gauthier , gugino 's boyfriend from high school , proposes to gugino .
gugino is n't ready for anything like this
so she makes up the story that she is engaged to shore .
she and shore have to make it look like they are engaged while her parents try to make it end .
forget jurassic park , cliffhanger , the firm and last action hero , son - in - law is the film to see this summer .
son - in - law is a great romantic comedy that should please the viewers , especially fans of the wiez .
when son - in - law is long gone and forgotten , the blockbuster summer films will still be playing and you will have a chance to see them then .
this film could also make great video fare for those that are leery of spending seven dollars on it .
nothing will be lost by watching it on a television screen .
although the basic story line has been done many , many times before , the film is still fun to watch .
the laughs are plentiful , especially when the wiez is around .
the way some of the jokes are done are new , even though some of the jokes are old .
there are also several new jokes that , at least , i have n't seen before .
still , when presented right , even old material can be funny still .
this film is just basically a light comedy that is great to see if you are in the right mood that does n't contain much violence or any nudity that is definitely worth full ticket price .
the cast for this film does an excellent job .
pauly shore ( encino man ) is the star attraction of this film .
he is great , and knows how to entertain the audience .
pauly shore just seems to take over the entire screen when he is on with expressions and comments that are hilarious .
this film would definitely not have been as good with anyone else in this role .
carla gugino
does a very good job as the farm girl gone city girl .
she makes her character believable , on some levels , yet interesting at the same time .
the person who played the grandfather ( mason adams , i believe ) also does a great job .
the way he delivered his lines kept me laughing throughout the time that he was on the screen .
patrick renna , who played gugino 's little brother , was a little annoying , but no where as near as macaulay culkin , and for only part of the time , so i can forgive him .
tiffani - amber thiessen ( a killer among friends , " saved by the bell " ) does a reasonably good job for the time that she is on screen .
she shows that she may have a potential in movies if she can get out of the corny young adults programming on television .
she was n't given overly much to do in the film , but what she had ,
she does a good job with .

[Q]: are we victims of fate in life or can we create our own destiny ?
director / writer brad anderson seems to be saying yes to both questions in his witty film
"
next stop wonderland " .
the two main characters , alan and erin , spend the entire movie in each other 's orbit , catching glimpses of one another , yet not quite connecting until the inevitable conclusion .
is it fate that keeps them near each other and ultimately puts them together ?
does this predestination carry over to all aspects of life ?
as the film starts , erin castleton ( hope davis ) , a melancholy 29- year old late shift nurse , is ending her live - in relationship with her boyfriend ( hoffman ) .
rather , he is ending it with her . arriving home from work , erin finds her boyfriend parked in front of their apartment , car packed with his belongings .
in a fumbling , amusing and self deluding ramble , he instructs erin to watch a videotape he 's made detailing why their relationship is doomed to fail and why he 's leaving .
it 's obvious he lacks the courage to confront her directly as he rails on about accomplishing something with his life and taking a stand , all the while backpedaling his way out of their relationship .
he then flees the scene with the grace of an inept thief .
erin 's mother ( holland taylor , in a surprisingly effective , small role ) , fearing that her daughter will be without a man in her life , takes out a personal ad for erin .
to erin 's embarrassed horror , the ad describes her as a " frisky , cultured , carefree professional with a zest for life " .
eventually , erin responds to the tidal wave of responses , which makes for some of the most humorous , telling moments of the movie as she meets prospective suitors and " poseurs " .
alan , a plumber and aspiring marine biologist , first spots erin as he 's cleaning the inside glass of a fish tank at the boston aquarium .
wearing a wet suit and goggles , he follows erin from window to window , separated by the glass as erin , oblivious to his gaze , enjoys the fish .
later , we see him on a train as she sits on a platform outside , mere feet away .
the movie spends it 's entirety having their paths circle each other without crossing .
there are several subplots involving alan .
one concerns his attempts to get on the job track at the boston aquarium , thereby escaping his apparent fate to carry on the family plumbing business .
another subplot involves his father 's desperate attempts to force fate 's hand by gambling away his life at the dog track .
a distracting focus is put on alan 's debt to a loan shark and the manner in which he pays it off .
the movie tries too hard to make alan a likable guy .
thankfully , his dream- guy persona is counterbalanced by erin 's distant , yet fundamentally hopeful , personality .
the film moves along at an unhurried pace , albeit too much so in the latter third , as we wait for the two to meet .
co - writers anderson and lyn vaus throw a couple of possible red herrings into the mix as the two find other possible relationships .
the films shifts into a much slower gear as we wait for these romances to blow over .
when alan and erin eventually do meet , we see that perhaps they both were destined for each other as they share a lingering , almost subliminally knowing , gaze .
it 's a sweet , measured moment .
the disappointment comes in the fact that we 've come to know the pair , yet we do n't get to view their impending romance .
the film 's inherent belief in the subtle persistence of fate and the wonder it can bring to one 's life makes " next stop wonderland " a quiet pleasure in a cinematic landscape littered with explosions , shallow characters and overdone special effects .

[Q]: i had a chance to see a sneak preview of city slickers ii on campus last night .
i went in with the expectation of a film with the similar flavor which made the original such a success : personal growth and insightful humor about life .
i came away somewhat disappointed in this regard , getting some of the latter and not much of the former .
the basic plot revolves around billy crystal , who plays mitch robbins , turning forty .
he 's now become the station manager of the radio station in which he worked in the original .
he 's given a job at the radio station to his best friend , played by daniel stern , out of sympathy while stern 's character works through his divorce .
his loser younger brother ( john lovitz ) comes to mitch 's house to bum a money and place to live , all while mitch and his wife try to celebrate his birthday .
during the celebration , mitch discovers what appears to be a treasure map in curly 's ( the cattle drive leader in the original played by jack palance ) old hat .
after a business trip to las vegas , crystal , stern , and lovitz stay a few extra days to go off in search of the treasure .
on the way , they run into curly 's twin brother , duke , played by ( you know who ) jack palance .
first of all ,
the cinematography was beautifully done , especially the outdoor scenes in the desert .
the scenes are such that i would like to see some of those sights filmed myself .
there is some character development during the film .
the actors remain true to their characters and play them well , without overplaying the jokes .
the movie is a good basic adventure , with enough plot twists to provide for an ending that is difficult to predict .
the movie is paced well
, but with a couple slow spots in the middle and towards the end .
humor - wise , the film has a good number of jokes which maintained my interest throughout the film .
there are memorable moments
like when stern is bitten by a snake , but there are fewer jokes to laugh at in the sequel ( surprise , surprise for a sequel , right ? ) .
however , the slight bitter aftertaste i have with this film has to do mainly with the film 's manipulation of the audience .
the film tries to pull your heart - strings too much regarding how close the characters are to each other , like when mitch had decided to suck the snake marrow out of his best friend 's butt .
this is done again when the gang meets up with some members of the cattle drive group from the original .
there were also some parts which appeared unrealistic , like whether the stampede would start in the way it did or why they did n't worry more about water while tromping around the desert .
some strenuous stretches of the imagination are required here .
since the objective of the gang is to find gold and get rich ( unlike finding themselves in middle age like in the original ) , i also found it harder to empathize with the characters during their journey .
overall , i 'd say that the film is an entertaining and humorous adventure with some story - line deficiencies making it less worthy than the original .
it may be worth the full price of admission , but a matinee would be a better bargain .
