What The Road to Wellville is
The film follows a disgruntled duo touring a quirky wellness retreat while a silver-tongued opportunist schemes to crash the breakfast-cereal party. A bastion of early 20th-century health fads, the spa serves as a backdrop for ambitions both nutritious and otherwise. Not quite a cereal commercial, not quite a period piece.
