Figgiedan Review of Finding Neverland

Finding Neverland (2004)

Finding the man within the boy

[7/10 · 15 July 2005]

This was a pretty fun movie that had little to nothing to say other than playtime is fun and don't grow up into a big, boring loser.

I liked it.

Johhny "Wonka" Depp was great as usual and Kate "Rose" Winslet is good as usual. The little kids were good. Dustin Hoffman is better here than in "Hook."

I don't think it should have been nominated for Best Picture, but it was probably a big old MIRAMAX junket-a-thon.

8 out of 10.

B+.
