Finding Neverland (Widescreen Edition) Review

I bought this dvd a couple of months ago, but didn't watch it until last weekend, twice. I waited so long to watch it because I thought this movie was all computer generated graphics and star dust, a movie best experienced with one's brain running at idle. Was I wrong.

This movie is engaging, enchanting, and funny. You will laugh and cry with the characters as their lives unfold. The production is set in 1903 England and is said to be based on real events.

The movie is about the goings-on in the life of the playwriter, James Barrie when he wrote "Peter Pan". A man who is about 30 going on 13, who would rather clown-it-up at the formal dinner table with his new pre-pubescent friends than engage his socialite wife and her new social contact.

All the female costars ooze both beauty and talent. The children can act beyond their years. I'm just going to say this is a must see for everyone from 5 on up.

Finding Neverland (Widescreen Edition) Specifications

Sweetness that doesn't turn saccharine is hard to find these days; Finding Neverland hits the mark. Much credit is due to the actors: Johnny Depp applies his genius for sly whimsy in his portrayal of playwright J. M. Barrie, who finds inspiration for his greatest creation from four lively boys, the sons of widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Kate Winslet, who miraculously fuses romantic yearning with common sense). Though the friendship threatens his already dwindling marriage, Barrie spends endless hours with the boys, pretending to be pirates or Indians--and gradually the elements of Peter Pan take shape in his mind. The relationship between Barrie and the Llewelyn Davies family sparks both an imagined world and a quiet rebellion against the stuffy forces of respectability, given physical form by Barrie's resentful wife (Radha Mitchell, High Art) and Sylvia's mother (Julie Christie, McCabe and Mrs. Miller). This gentle silliness could have turned to treacle, but Depp and Winslet--along with newcomer Freddie Highmore as one of the boys--keep their feet on the earth while their eyes gaze into their dreams. Also featuring a comically crusty turn from Dustin Hoffman (who appeared in another Peter Pan-themed movie, Hook) as a long-suffering theater producer. --Bret Fetzer
