IN SUM: The movie shows a lot of sympathy for all the characters—a rarity in bad-boy flicks.

The DVD of the film contains “Life and Times of John C. Holmes” on Disc 2. The bonus is an added joy to the viewer as it narrates the story of Mr Holmes with decency and humanity. It is strange to note that Dawn Schiller's face was shadowed in this bonus but uncovered in the “Court TV” featurette on Disc 1, leading me to think that “Life and Times&rqduo; may have released previously.

I did not enjoy the “LAPD Crime Scene Video”: the forensic footage was too gritty, the violence too real for comfort. Nevertheless, the DVD of Wonderland, like the motion picture itself, is one superb production.
