    Saw this with an accompanying DVD, Wadd: The Life & Times of John C. Holmes --http://imdb.com/title/tt0207195/ Both were well done, entertaining and informative. A very sleazy time and a sad tale about the once great porn king, and how his decent into drugs ruined his career and his life. Try to get Wadd along with Wonderland. They complement each other very well.

    This movie has a very dirty, gritty feel to it and for good reason as it's about sexx, drugs, and murder. Val Kilmer plays John Holmes as a total scumbag which is the point. And the supporting cast is also solid. This movie didn't get as much attention as it deserves. Tell a friend.

    Loved the fact that Kate Bosworth gets screwed in less than 5 minutes when the movie starts. Val Kilmer makes a good junkie porn director. Besides all that movie is wuite boring.
