Review: 'Wonder' is the cry-fest you expect, but it's also complex

By A Mystery Man Writer

Middle school can be agonizing for any kid, but, as “Wonder” begins, we suspect it’s going to be especially hard for 10-year-old Auggie Pullman. After 27 surgeries to help him see, breathe and hear, Auggie (Jacob Tremblay) doesn’t look like other children. He’s small and scarred, with a high-pitched, scratchy voice and a braided rattail, and he usually wears an astronaut helmet when he leaves the house. But after years of being home-schooled by his mother (Julia Roberts), he’s preparing to join his peers at New York’s Beecher Prep.
