A New York office drone reconnects with life's simpler pleasures through a series of strange encounters, most of them musical.
There are no action-stopping song-and-dance numbers in Wanderland, but more than a few of the gently offbeat comedy's characters pick up guitars and sing. Following a city dweller's perambulatory and often bizarre adventures through the East End of Long Island, writer-director Josh Klausner set out to make "a film with a live soundtrack" rather than a conventional musical, and the results have an unforced, DIY charm.
The low-key indie is a decided departure for Klausner, whose screenwriting credits include Date Night and Shrek Forever After, and who started his Hollywood career as an assistant to the Farrelly brothers. Working with an ensemble of performers both familiar and not, he turns a night of mishaps and frustrations, à la Scorsese's After Hours but without the stomach-churning levels of anxiety, into an openhearted ramble.
