How strange it would be to walk in the woods and discover your own doppelganger, only a few years older. Then something resembling the Alice Through The Looking Glass happens where the girls swap sides. Here's where the suspense begins: if Violet doesn't get back before the next sunrise, she's stuck there forever. A race against the clock is hardly groundbreaking, so I wouldn't call Wonderwell a timeless masterpiece. But as a solid reason for family get-together it definitely justifies seven years spent in its production. Despite the movie's shortcomings, Violet is a perfect role model for young ladies everywhere-the message is clear: be fearless, connect with Mother Nature, and don't conform to society's norms.
