Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
This wrong-headed adaptation of the very funny (and scatological) novel by T. Coraghessan Boyle was written and directed by Alan Parker, who doesn't seem to have much of a clue. It's not a botch, just a movie that hammers its efforts at humor too hard. The focus is split between three story lines: the life of cereal tycoon John Kellogg (Anthony Hopkins with buck teeth), who has created a health spa for the wealthy that focuses on regular cleansing of the digestive tract (as well as applications of electricity); the troubles of an unhappy young couple (Matthew Broderick and Bridget Fonda), who come to the spa hoping to cure their marital ills (Broderick gets the worst of the deal); and the efforts of a young hustler (John Cusack), who is trying to break into the breakfast-cereal business but gets taken by an even bigger hustler (Michael Lerner). There are subplots about Kellogg's children but they add little. For all the doo-doo and enema jokes, the joys of this movie are distinctly scattered. --Marshall Fine

5 out of 5 stars Clever...clever...and clever! Battle Creek,corn flakes,enemas and fun!.......2007-06-16

If you have seen the A&E BIOGRAPHY THE KELLOGG BROTHERS,CORN FLAKES KINGS, then you will all the more appreciate the hilarity of THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE, a comedic but also very sobering look at the wealthy person's search for illness cures and the seemingly bizarre and revolutionary medical practices of Dr.John Kellogg ( a bucktoothed Anthony Hopkins in a rare comedic role!) of Battle Creek, Michigan.The late nineteenth century was positively a time of "anything goes" fads that swept this country. The wealthy flocked to every new word on the wind. People wanted answers about life after death and medical cures for their ills (enter husband and wife played by Matthew Broderick and Bridget Fonda). Thus we come to the enigmatic John Kellogg whose Battle Creek Sanitarium became the Mecca for the upper classes to spend their money and brag that they were in on the latest craze; laughing cures, enemas,no meat, electrical shock, fresh air rest cures and all done in grand style and at exorbitant prices!

Kellogg founded the corn flake as the miracle food of his Sanitarium. This started a mad rush for other entrepreneurs to cash in on this new fad. Battle Creek became a nuthouse of self seekers seeking honest patrons waiting to be victimized.(Here enters a scheming John Cusack with excellent comic timing!)

THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE examines this odd piece of American history with great comic relief and accuracy. If the movie seems silly that is because the whole Battle Creek craze WAS SILLY! It was full of eccentric and self absorbed people willing to try anything. This is nothing new as history is full of "revolutionary thinkers" who got some things right and got many things wrong! The unfortunate thing is that well meaning people got caught in the crossfire through blind trust.

This is a fascinating and very interesting,accurate and downright funny film. Who else but soundtrack composer great Rachel Portman could add her notes of genius to such a film of a quirky subject matter.

Excellent companion films would be THE KELLOGG BROTHERS,CORN FLAKE KINGS, MESMER,and BEAUTIFUL DREAMERS for contrast.

5 out of 5 stars The Flakes aren't in your bowl, they're the Doctors telling you to eat.......2007-01-08

Hilarious neglected comedy by a star ensemble cast. But perhaps it isn't as funny if you do not know the real story behind the Battle Creek Sanatorium craze and the various circuses of peripheral quacks it attracted. This was a dim era for science and a bizarre pause in America's ongoing love of the latest "health craze." Who knows, perhaps the liquid crystal enemas of today will end up being the Kellogg's Corn Flakes of tomorrow.

4 out of 5 stars A One Ounce Serving Has Over a Hundred Laughs.......2006-12-27

This adult comedy centers around three sub plots: the buck-toothed Dr. Kellogg played by Anthony Hopkins, Will and Eleanor Lightbody played by Matthew Broderick and Bridget Fonda respectively, and John Cusack as a shady but naive entrepreneur. The plots all take place during the turn of the last century at Dr. Kellogg's health sanitarium in Battle Creek, Michigan.

My favorites in this movie were the good doctor who is a product of his time believing that only procreational sex is good, and any loss of bodily fluids by other means saps the body of strength. I was in lust with the character of Ms. Monse at first sight. She is one of the reasons this comedy is for adults only; The facial expressions of the young and grown-up character of George Kellogg Jr. and pigs refusing to eat the experimental cereal "Perfo" kept me laughing constantly. I also enjoyed the music score which ranged from classical to delightfully silly. (I keep replaying the "Laughing Song" in my head.)

Amazon's product review is less kind than mine, proving that you really have to decide for yourself. But for me, this movie is a keeper. It can be played throughout the year, or just savored during the holidays.


5 out of 5 stars Forget The Movie Critics.......2006-12-06

This movie is hilarious, wonderful. Although it's pretty much adult entertainment it is one of those movies that's a must have during the holidays. RTW can be viewed repeatedly without boredom, it is just thet hilarious, my favorite is Dana Carvey playing the village idiot son of Kellogg......too many LOLOLOLS to type them all here. It's 20 bucks well spent if you want some good old earthy humor and see some actors you've seen lately on television.

5 out of 5 stars If you never laugh this movie will make you laugh, laugh, laugh!.......2006-11-28

I am a health nut and am familiar with Dr. Kellogg. He is a great man with some faults just like any of us do. I like the way this movie makes fun of us health nuts. It is put together really well! Just wonder who really put this out there for us to view. Maybe the AMA?!
