Matthew Broderick is arena a haggard, divorced, albino ex-children’s folk accompanist in “Wonderful World,” and his acting is, if anything, too realistic. The botheration with arena a arid being is that all too generally you end up giving a arid performance. Broderick isn’t walking through it, though. He’s aggravating to accord his character, Ben Singer, a agenda of deadpan realism. He ability accept been added able if he’d accustomed some advice from the calligraphy and direction, which is additionally – you estimated it – drab.
Ben is a career proofreader, the array of job he hates, and yet it apparel him. When that ends, he delivers pizzas. He doesn’t absolutely affliction what he does. His boyish daughter, Sandra (Jodelle Ferland), whom he sees on weekends, loves him but can’t accord with all his negativity. His roommate, Ibou (Michael Kenneth Williams), is from Senegal, and compared to Ben, he’s the activity of the party. He can about-face a chess bout into a amusing event. When Ibou goes into a coma, his sister, Khadi (Sanaa Lathan), shows up from Senegal to analysis things out and ends up rooming, at aboriginal platonically, with Ben. This is area the film, which was accounting and directed by Joshua Goldin, becomes center interesting. The accord amid Ben and Khadi is believable and poignant, and we see in him added backbone than we ahead ability accept imagined. Lathan, her Senegalese emphasis bottomward pat, is excellent, and her achievement allowances up Broderick’s as well. This is a backward cine about a backward person, but it has a fine, black afterglow.
