Product Description

Synopsis
Most people know the story of Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up. Director Marc Forster's (MONSTER'S BALL) FINDING NEVERLAND delves deeper, depicting a fictionalised account of the family and events that inspired the classic tale. At the turn of the 20th Century, Scottish playwright J.M. Barrie's (Johnny Depp) latest play in London has flopped almost as badly as his marriage to stature-seeking Mary (Radha Mitchell). During one of his frequent excursions to the park with his dog, Barrie meets four young boys and their recently widowed mother, Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Kate Winslet). Soon Barrie becomes a frequent playmate to the children, using the boys' imagination to take them on fanciful adventures. He also becomes a friend and confidante to the overwhelmed Sylvia, much to the dismay of her overbearing mother (Julie Christie). Barrie's active imagination and interaction with the family inspires 'Peter Pan', a play that celebrates the child in everyone and the importance of believing in fantasies and miracles. A droll and amusing Dustin Hoffman appears as American Charles Frohman, Barrie's producer. The film also features young Freddie Highmore as Peter Llewelyn Davies, the inspiration for Barrie's title character.

4.0 out of 5 stars Peter Pan is still alive, 9 Jun 2005
By Paula Hill "minkusmum" (Fontanivent, CH) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you saw "Peter Pan" as a kid or enjoyed "Hook" as a teenager you will like this film. It is a fictionalised account of how J M Barrie came to write the original story after he had met and befriended a fatherless family of boys and their mother.

I was worried that the film might go down the "Barrie was a closet paedophile" route, but my fears were unfounded. The whole atmosphere is magical and the children's performances are generally good. Johnny Depp makes a good stab at an Irish accent, and while he may not resemble Barrie he obviously enjoyed the make-believe scenes as much as the boys did.

While not always historically accurate, this is a sympathetic film which increases our understanding of a very famous story.
