Movie Review
Grade: C
"The Great New Wonderful" is neither great nor wonderful, but it works on a rudimentary level. Starring Maggie Gyllenhaal, Tony Shalhoub, Edie Falco and Stephen Colbert, among others, the movie is about a bunch of random characters in New York City who all have to deal with their ups and downs, and laugh at their mistakes.
