		The Road to Wellville takes the reader to Battle Creek Michigan at the beginning of the 20th century, a place and time where the modern health food and breakfast food industries were born.
		TRTW is a cover-to-cover grin, a farcical look back at a slice in time starring the conniving, the gullible and the deluded.
		The Road to Wellville is one of the funniest novels I have had the pleasure of enjoying.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| The Road to Wellville (1)
		In Road to Wellville, Parker uses the comedic techniques of flface and role-playing to create a "racial double": that is, a "white" character (George Kellogg) who, through class and race-oriented constructions, represents the token inclusion of a fl character in the essentially white society depicted in the film.
		In Road to Wellville, George uses flface to perform the fl "role." That is, a satire of fl culture as it is envisioned by white society.
		In Road to Wellville, this sense of failure is contrasted with the racist idealism that Kellogg conveys to a group of reporters who visit the Sanitarium: "As a child I had a dream, a marvelous dream, in which I saw a wild place in the country.

	The Road to Wellville - Lightsfade review
		“Road to Wellville” has much to say about ‘civilized’ western attitudes to sex (and the full range of bodily functions).
		This is a world where a healthy body doesn’t always lead to a healthy mind; where cleanliness may be considered next to godliness but warped to its logical extreme it can becomes a path to sexual arousal.
		The hostile reception that “Wellville” received only goes to prove how deeply the taboos that it explores are rooted.

	Review: The Road to Wellville (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Road to Wellville dares to ask the question "When approached from the perspective of a period piece with a 'name' cast, can flatulence be funny?" Unfortunately for those stuck in the audience, it also provides the answer.
		In The Road to Wellville, this happens about thirty minutes into the film, which is bad news, because there's still an hour and a half to go.
		The Road to Wellville suffers from a case of reverse momentum.

		It's all overblown, preposterous, and ridiculous, and when you take that in the Portman context, her score for The Road to Wellville is pleasantly perverted.
		In all of its storied past, Varèse Sarabande has never put out an album quite like The Road to Wellville, and it's easy to wonder if someone there in 1994 was in his or her right mind when the project was conceived.

	All-Reviews.com Movie/Video Review: The Road To Wellville
		One of those rare exceptions is THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE, 1994 period comedy written and directed by Alan Parker.
		Unfortunately, the amount and graphic nature of such scenes might not be suitable for the viewers with weaker stomachs; yet those who are able to deal with initial shock would be awarded with few hilarious scenes.
		At times disturbing, at times overlong, and at times unfunny, THE ROAD TO WELVILLE might not be for everyone, yet for those who can handle uncompromising satire, this film might be experience quite different from its seemingly unpleasant content.

		Bonfire of the Vanities--how should I put this--sucked, The Firm was going well until a new ending was slapped on the script, and The Road to Wellville, adapted from T. Coraghessan Boyle's novel of the same name, now joins the list of delightful books massacred by Hollywood.
		He is a modern fiction author who writes about down-to-earth and realistic people in most unusual situations, as opposed to the ever so popular '90's nihilists who despise the state of society today.
		The Road to Wellville didn't contain the same electricity that Boyle's short stories hold, but was still somewhat entertaining.

	The Road to Wellville Movie: The Road to Wellville DVD is available from Bestprices.com
		Based on the best-selling novel by T. Coraghessan Boyle, THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE satirizes late-19th-century health fads and medical procedures.
		THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE's highbrow humor lies somewhere between the stinging ironies of Terry Gilliam’s BRAZIL and the spontaneous, madcap wit of the sketch comedy television show THE KIDS IN THE HALL.
		A whimsical film, THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE mocks modernity and industrialization and warns viewers that sometimes even supposedly enlightened minds can lead society astray.

		Anthony Hopkins had YET to make a bad movie until "The Road to Wellville." In 1994, this film came out to a lot of praise, saying it was a comedy that would challenge everything we thought about the health-industry.
		The Road to Wellville is supposed to be a comedy showing the lighter side of trying to become healthy.
		When you look for a moral of the film, you are left with another blank slate, because at times the film is telling you to try new things, and yet at other times telling you to not just believe what you are told.

		At the turn of the 20th century Battle Creek, Michigan was a magnet for the health-conscious while simultaneously attracting breakfast food speculators from around the country.
		In THE ROAD TO WELLVILLE T.C. Boyle spins an insightful and entertaining tale combining both of these historical movements.
		After surviving many attempts to making breakfast food products that were sabotaged by his jealous brother, he turned his attention to developing a sanitarium to launch his firm beliefs in a scientific diet that will treat the nation's ill health.

	The Road to Wellville Summary Study Guide
		The Road to Wellville is about Americans' tendency to be attracted by reform movements and revivals.
		The author Upton Sinclair is mentioned directly in Boyle's novel as a guest at the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
		The Jungle is a Naturalis tic portrayal of the corruption, filth, and exploitation in the meat packing industry in Chicago at the beginning of the twentieth century; and Sinclair's novel represents a precedent for Boyle's treatment of the food industry in The Road to Wellville.

		This co-plot is even more pointless and dull than the main story, if such a thing is possible.
		"The Road to Wellville" has a disturbing preoccupation with sex which is even more pervasive than its disturbing preoccupation with human excretion.
		The whole thing is really in the worst of taste, not made any the more palatable by the fact that the film is, at heart, a screwball comedy.

	review of "the road to wellville" by t. coraghessan boyle (dave edelman's home on the web)
		Instead, he uses Kellogg's antics as the basis for a hilarious satire about people still abundant in our society today: holier-than-thou healthmongers, the con men who profit off them, and the suckers that swallow both of their lines hook and sinker.
		Wellville's protagonist, Will Lightbody, has been dragged out to Battle Creek by his wife Eleanor, a bored housewife who takes up causes like others take up macramé.
		The Road to Wellville is a bona-fide laughing cure for all the quackery routinely passed off as medical science, and all the cheap moralistic tactics used to keep us believing it.
