Wilson works better in ten-minute segments than it does as a complete movie.

The plot opts for cop-out sentimentality and begins to melt into goo.

Like Wilson himself, the movie is a bit of a throwback, out-of-step with the times, but whimsical in its execution.

There's ... some cranky fun along the way, what with Harrelson's slovenly charm and Dern's attitude of bedraggled exasperation (both of them show a refreshing lack of movie-star vanity).

In its slow burning quality, Wilson explodes when you least expect it, before fizzling out when you most anticipate careening towards a happy ending.

A few good cameos from David Warshofsky, as a prickly old friend of Wilson's, and Margo Martindale, as a date gone wrong, grace the torpid landscape. But it should all be sharper and funnier than it is.

Perhaps I've seen one too many movies in which men who need to grow up have to wreak havoc on other people's lives to do it. And this is that one too many.

Wilson is a bitter, infuriating, and utterly unsympathetic character in Daniel Clowes' original graphic novel, but at some point [screenwriter Clowes] found a way to turn Wilson's vinegar back into wine.

You'll want to spend time with "Wilson." Even if nobody else does.
