Absolutely Fantastic

The acting in this movie is really good.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

I like Jaye Taylor because while she is a lot like Georgia Lass from Dead Like Me in many ways, she is a little more interesting and likable than George. I don't know much about the show, and it's pretty forgettable, which could be why it only had 13 episodes, but I already like it way more than Dead Like Me after seeing 2 episodes of both, and it's a little funny to see the talking artifacts guide Jaye in her life. Did you know Ellen Muth also played another Georgia in Hannibal who thought she was dead and had a mental illness that drove her to kill people?

Jaye Tyler (Caroline Dhavernas) is a disaffected college graduate living in her trailer, and working in a dead end job in a Niagara Falls souvenir shop. Her days are pointless until the souvenirs starts talking to her. They command her in cryptic messages, and they just won't shut up. She's never sure about their meaning, and can never predict the wild outcomes. Jaye is forced to break out of her apathy and falls for bartender Eric Gotts (Tyron Leitso). She begins to repair her relationships with her family.This is Bryan Fuller's whimsy at its best. The talking nick nacks are wonderful. Dhavernas is adorably bitter. The show is filled with great actors. It was canceled almost immediately by Fox after 4 episodes, and only 13 episodes were ever made. It never got a good audience but also never got much of a chance.

I had never heard of this show until recently when a friend lent me the DVD set. Despite eight years it remains refreshing and unique.Funny (actually at times it's extremely funny), sensitive, unpredictable, and totally endearing. The cast do an extraordinary job. It's the type of show that could easily go off the rails but each actor reins it back just enough to make the show balance perfectly at the edge... and the result is an absolute joy watch.Caroline Dhavernas shines. She brings so many believable qualities to Jaye that at times I wanted to scoop her up and hug her... which of course would have made Jaye furious... and therefore all the more real. Dhavernas manages to carry Jaye from a cynical, determined underachiever to frantic guardian angel with so many perfectly placed steps that the change seems natural, expected. Dhavernas doesn't abandon Jaye basic character, she matures it beautifully into the new Jaye. It's a great piece of work. One of my favourite scenes comes towards the end of the series when Heidi rummages around Jaye's trailer and sees all the muses tenderly arranged in a semi-circle at the end of the bed... very touching.Needless to say I adored the thirteen episodes. If you get a chance to see Wonderfalls I highly recommend it.

Wonderfalls is/was one of the best comedies ever produced. I was hooked after watching the first episode when it aired. Perfect writing, directing and acting – every episode is a gem. A non-formulaic, quirky and smart sitcom with SO many funny moments! All the cast members are engaging, and play their parts to perfection. It's a shame Fox didn't give this show enough of a chance to find an audience and canceled it about seven or eight years too early. Thankfully, they had the good sense to release the DVD set which is worth every penny. I've already bought two sets: one for me and another as a gift. Too many mediocre shows succeed and not enough good shows like Wonderfalls make it through a season.
