Finding Neverland

The Bottom Line: Though it's not as imaginative as Peter Pan itself (obviously), this movie is smart, funny, and especially creative. Second star to the right, and straight on till morning!

Review: In the beginning, I wasn't really interested in viewing Finding Neverland. As much as I enjoyed the classic story of Peter Pan, a movie about the man who created Peter Pan didn't really appeal to me. However, as months went by, I had heard many...

The Bottom Line: Not a single Michael Jackson joke. I promise.

Review: One of the exciting things about being a parent of young children is that you never get to see movies in the theatre anymore. I used to see two movies a week, now we're down to two per year. That means sometimes, maybe once per month, my wife and I...

The Bottom Line: The good far outweighs the bad in this charming story. Depp is incredible, and the rest of the cast superb. It errs only in its restraint.

Review: I have been some time in pondering this review, because as much as I enjoyed watching it (which is to say I did not watch it with a sneer of disgust) it just seems a bit staid, a little held back. While the movie has humor, and a certain amount of...

The Bottom Line: "Finding Neverland" is an Enchanting, Glorious Film from Marc Forster Led by Johnny Depp's Magical Performance & a Great Supporting Cast. (4.5 out of 5)

Review:
The story of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan has been beloved by many children all over the world since it arrived as a play in the early 1900s. Since then, many film adaptations had come across the board. The most famous was by Walt Disney in his...

The Bottom Line: This is a great movie for adults who don't want to grow up!

Review: I finally was able to see Finding Neverland at the dollar theater last night, after seeing countless previews for it and reading positive reviews. I left the theater last night a big sobby snotty mess, (many other people cried) and have recovered...

The Bottom Line: The power of the imagination portrayed exceptionally well.

Review: Finding Neverland is a fact-based story about the life of J.M. Barrie, the author of the classic play and book Peter Pan. Although the setting is England in the early 1900s, the movie is a sort of fantasy picture, often set within the imaginations...

The Bottom Line: Johnny Depp continues to enhance his strong portfolio with Finding Neverland : a magical, yet restrained film which like Peter Pan never wants to grow old.

Review: After his vivacious performance in The Pirates of the Caribbean , the Johnny Depp bandwagon can be officially certified as overflowing; as all of those Depp fans who glossed over young Johnny in his hallowed 21 Jump Street days- yet quickly...

The Bottom Line: Good clean enjoyable film that can be enjoyed by the entire family from the baby to grandparents. It can be viewed over and over again.

Review: As the mother of two children, I have spent a lifetime watching movies, television series, cartoons, and reading books devoted to the adventures of Peter Pan. I have seen the transformation of a child into an adult as I watch one daughter with one...

The Bottom Line: Marc Forster's "Finding Neverland" has a strong Oscar-caliber acting ensemble and brilliant script, despite structure problems and plot inconsistencies.

Review: Director Marc Forster has seized upon a wonderful story in "Finding Neverland". Led on by a fine acting ensemble and remarkable writing, the film achieves emotions I didn't think the back-story to J.M. Barrie's "Peter Pan" could. The film is based...

The Bottom Line: Will remind you of a time when movie making was still a respectful practice. This here is greatness.

Review: This was one of the biggest surprises of the year. I heard about this movie a few months ago and didn't think much about it since then. I figured it would be just another one of those silly drama's that come along oh so often to bore us to tears...
