Audience Member A wonderfully catty bitchfest! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Your enjoyment of this will depend on an interest in golden age Hollywood, if you have it than this is an pleasant diversion with a high voltage movie star and an accomplished actress. If you don't than there isn't much here to hold your attention. The real pair of women were far more venal than they are portrayed here but for a TV movie this isn't bad. Liz is fine although her decision to approximate Parson's droning speaking voice while accurate doesn't enhance her performance, it's just distracting. The top performance comes unsurprisingly from Jane Alexander. She gives nuance and meaning to Hopper that surely wasn't in the script. Most of the supporting cast is bland and forgettable, it is surprising to see Tim Robbins pop up in the small role of Joseph Cotton. The production design and in particular the wardrobe is very high quality and adds a nice sheen to the proceedings. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member (DANNY DYER FILM THIS IS BASED ON) Bit of a mess really and I think the director had too many dodgy pills while making this film. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member not seen this, but ive just sen malice in wonderland with the erver reliable danny dyer, as a london cabbie getting involved with a lost maggie grace, as a adventure begins around london, watch it, dyer as ever is good at that cockey geezer, theres some good moments Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member i have not seen this old version so i do not know if its ANYTHING like the 09 version but I was a veryy confused person while trying to figure out this puzzle of a movie. its description was a modernized way of malice in wonderland which was made from alice in woderland. i got all of the characters down and pretty much understood after about 45 minutes. What i did not understand was why malice kept taking drugs, went to a strip club trucker thing, and got involved in a mafia guy! i must have mistook the movie or something. I also thought it was the new disney updated veraion of alice in wonderland. lol so good luck to anyone else who finds "09s Malice in Wonderland" Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member WOW..The Fur flys when these two cats go at it in this story of Hollywood Gossip columnists start scratching for gossip on all the movie stars.
