Based on the 2010 graphic novel of the same name by Daniel Clowes, this film doesn't quite cut the mustard, and I consider myself both a solid Woody Harrelson fan and a seasoned misanthrope. The problem is that WILSON is caught between trying to faithfully portray someone who is truly misanthropic while at the same time delivering the cloyingly sweet "Aw, shucks!" validation of conventional morality that mainstream comedies must. So in the end you get a movie that has some laughs but can't escape being a dud.
