When this book was recommended to me, I was excited because I suffer a genetic glitch, less visible than Auggie's, but I've still faced bullying and discrimination because of it.

Reading the book was so severely frustrating for me because it was for the readers who relate to the people around Auggie. Auggie's behavior wasn't realistic and it felt undermining that a fictional 5th grader had more forgiveness and tolerance than I did at his age. The movie made it worse if anything. It's frustrating to me that this book and movie is so celebrated because every time I see it sitting on a shelf, I'm discouraged. Expand

Bland characters, convoluted and uninteresting plot, cheesy drama and forced romance with side characters.

It mainly is an emotionally manipulative drama with a plot about a young man with a facial deformity. The characters were pretty bland and they didn't make me invested in the story. The movie has a great message about bullying, but the message would have been more powerful with better acting. I know people just like Auggie, and I can say the character he is portraying is entirely unrealistic. The movie had forced romance, and tiny bits of unfunny, and bland comedy mixed in. I rate dramas based off how emotional they make me feel, and this film did not accomplish its purpose. I appreciate the movies wonderful and kind message, but it just wasn't for me. With better acting, no forced romance, no cheap dusts of comedy, and more realistic character portrayal, we would have a very decent film on our hands. But instead, we get a pile of mushy drama and forced quotes shoved down our throats. Expand

I found it ironic that Auggie had an obsession with star wars when its biggest problem is the same as rouge one you don't care for the main character but you care for the side characters who get stuffed aside but the difference is WonderI found it ironic that Auggie had an obsession with star wars when its biggest problem is the same as rouge one you don't care for the main character but you care for the side characters who get stuffed aside but the difference is Wonder frustratingly acts like it's siding characters have a major role in the story other complaints being this movie has 4 climaxes that could have ended the movie and characters act in the exact way you expect them to there also is a lot of filler and there was this one scene you could just tell they thought no one would like this movie unless it made you cry so they did the saddest thing they could come up with finally this movie only knows 2 emotions happy and sad and they try to cram both of them down your throyght with no succsess at all.
