Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet star in this moving portrayal of the man who created Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie. 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 fictionalized 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.

-- Danny Leigh, Uncut "[T]his is sweet without being sugary..."
-- Total Film Staff, Total Film 4 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n engrossing period piece with stunning scenery, beautiful costumes and sweet flights of fancy as we enter the world of Barrie's unbridled imagination."-- David Richardson, Ultimate DVD "Mr. Depp and Ms. Winslet are pleasant to watch..."-- Manohla Dargis, New York Times "[A] lovely, poignant and in some ways old-fashioned movie....The story is told gently and simply without excess sentimentality."-- Claudia Puig, USA Today "Depp and Winslet share a rare combination of airiness, earthiness and sharp, wry intelligence. With his gleaming black hair, quiet grace and molten eyes, Depp makes Barrie's ability to conjure imaginary worlds seem magical."-- Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times "FINDING NEVERLAND is studded with little pleasures....The movie glows..."
-- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly "Winslet brims with warmth, and Julie Christie gives a tart performance....All the actors benefit from the sensitive hand of director Marc Forster..."

Finding Neverland Movie Review Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars)   A Perfect Family Movie For All Ages!
This movie had a really good story too it here. Which I thought Johnny Depp did his best by playing famous Peter Pan author J.M. Barrie. I thought the visual and special effects in here were awesome. It's too bad at the end of tis movie Kate Winslet's role of a sick dying mother with four children died so sadly.

Some of this movie was good, but I found alot of it to be boring. I was
waiting for, Michael Jackson to make
an appearance! I had to turn on the
subtitles, to understand what they
were saying.

Depp really brought our attention to Barrie!
There is more to this movie than meets the eye! J.M. Barrie didn't just create Peter Pan in 1904 off of the top of his head! Hardly anyone will ever know that Peter Pan was inspired by his personal life and the Llewelyn-Davies family... unless you watch this! Even when the movie is over and you think everything will "be alright", in reality, the rest of the family died in horrible ways, including J.M. Barrie himself! But, there are so many people these days that just don't give a SH-T about the past! They are so obssessed with what they have today that they don't think about how they got what they have in the first place!!! Highly-skilled director Marc Foster took the enhanced movie tools of the early-2000's and took us 100 years back to show us the man who created Peter Pan and the difficult process that he went through to perfect it! It is a genuine look at a man who wanted to show the world that you don't have to grow up! Then, he met a family that helped him bring his idea to life! But it is not what happened in this movie that was the saddest part! It is what happened to the rest of the family in real life that would really set the sadness in place!

I loved this movie. It was a great family movie. It was happy and sad at the same time. It just had a really good story. If you're looking for a movie for the whole family to enjoy, this is it.

Co-helmed by WALL-E director Andrew Stanton, FINDING NEMO follows Marlin (voiced by Albert Brooks), an overprotective clown fish father, as he desperately searches the farthest reaches of the sea for his missing son Nemo. Marlin's journey leads him beyond the Great Barrier Reef into deeper and darker waters, where he meets Dory (Ellen DeGeneres), a forgetful yet optimistic blue tang, and a number of not-so-friendly--and often very hungry--aquatic creatures. Meanwhile, little Nemo finds himself in a dentist's fish tank in Syndey, Australia, along with other underwater captives, including Gill (Willem Dafoe), the group's scarred Moorish idol leader. As Nemo works with his new friends on a plan to escape their tank, Marlin and Dory swim closer, but they'll need more than just fins to get into the dentist's office.
This fifth computer-animated outing by Pixar continues the company's remarkable winning streak that began with TOY STORY. Like other Pixar films, FINDING NEMO features a story with heart--this time, a father-and-son tale--and thoroughly charming leads--in this case, Marlin, Nemo, and Dory. And, of course, there's an army of fascinating supporting characters, including Bruce (Barry Humphries), a great white shark on a no-fish diet; Crush (director/screenwriter Stanton), a ...

Loosely inspired by the time-honored Disney theme-park ride, PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: THE CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is a swashbuckling high-seas tale directed by Gore Verbinski. When Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp), an eccentric rogue, arrives at Port Royal, he barely avoids going down with his ship. Soon enough, he's in the market for a new one, but not before he saves the life of Elizabeth Swann (Keira Knightley), the beautiful daughter of the governor (Jonathan Pryce). This act of bravery sets into motion a sweeping adventure involving Elizabeth's childhood friend, blacksmith Will Turner (Orlando Bloom); a mysterious medallion; and a legendary pirate ship, the Black Pearl. The Pearl's mottled Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) wants Elizabeth's doubloon necklace, and ...

American history gets a cool make-over in this Jerry Bruckheimer-produced comedic action thriller. Nicholas Cage plays Ben Gates, the descendent of an early American patriot who has left him information relating to a vast treasure, hidden during the Revolutionary War by the Freemasons. A clue at the north pole sets things in motion, and Ben must use his formidable cryptography skills to decipher puzzles hidden in the most unlikely places--one appears on the dollar bill, and another is on the back of the U.S. constitution. Ben's unscrupulous former partner (Sean Bean) and his gang of thugs are also after the treasure for selfish, evil purposes. A plot to steal the Constitution sets off a 13-colony-wide chase with all the trimmings: cops going after the wrong man, the rescue of a cute female cryptographer (Diane Kruger) who tags along for the ride, and Jon Voight answering the door in the middle of the night ...

Combining a family-oriented superhero adventure with the brilliant animation of Disney's Pixar (the creators of MONSTERS INC. and FINDING NEMO), THE INCREDIBLES charts new territory in the technical wizardry of computer-generated cartoons. Using complex angles and a filmic sensibility, the animation feels like live action, and smart techniques such as cuts to "grainy film stock" give this movie instant sophistication. Writer-director Brad Bird, with his creative storytelling and well-paced character development, does the rest. This tale is set in a slightly futuristic society where superheroes are no longer appreciated (Read: But I didn't want to be saved!) and are forced to assume a very low profile. So, for Mr. Incredible (Craig T. Nelson), his wife Elastigirl (Holly Hunter), and his three fledgling superhero kids, maintaining a lifestyle of mediocrity in order to appear ...
