Finding Neverland Reviews

Set in 1900 London, this a wonderful story (not totally true!) about James Barrie (Johnny Depp) a struggling playwright and (struggling even more) husband. — Barrie is troubled by his lack of professional and personal successes and heads to the park one day for inspiration. There, he finds four boys and their widowed mother (Kate Winslet). He then spends the rest of his days playing with the boys, avoiding adult responsibilities and tapping into his inner child. The community is in an uproar about his antics-- especially his wife. — It is his relationship with the four children… read full review »

This is such a great movie for the whole family, and Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet are fantastic actors throughout. They couldn't have picked better children to play the little boys in the movie. It was such a great idea to have the movie based around the Peter Pan concept but from a completely different standpoint that we didn't expect. It gave us a whole new understanding about how the tale was written (i've heard it's based on a true story) and provided a great basis for a movie. The few times I've seen it I've cried each time, it was so moving. So, if you are a crier like me, be… read full review »

I read the back of the DVD case, and knew I had to buy this movie. I was impressed with the whole story line. J.M. Barrie was a great play-write, and this was his best play- Peter Pan. It reminds us that men do think like children and it takes a real man to make us women realize we too still have childish imaginations, we just have to find them. — The Davies boys were such a huge part in the making of Peter Pan, and their ailing mother helped Mr. Barrie show all of them Neverland and whats it like not to grow up. I think one of the most compelling parts is when James Barrie… read full review »

 This is one of the best movies I have ever watched! I have this movie and have watched it numerous times. Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet are magical together without their ever being a sexual scene. They were both so very good in this movie as was Freddie Hightower....what an exceptional little actor he is. The story is fun and entertaining. I must admit the ending was not what I would have liked, but very believeable. Dustin Hoffman was something else....he played his part GREAT! —… read full review »

This movie definately teaches children that imagination and creativity can take them anywhere and no matter under any circumstances that they will be able to go on. Johnny Depp was hilarious and definately I saw another side to him than that I am used to in the fact that he has been in so many action and drama movies it was different and refreshing to see him playing a role that was strong and determinable , I admire him for that of… read full review »

This movie was so great it really was just a movie that allows you a good cry and to just entertain you. Johnny Depp is tremendous, and that kid was great. It's because of his performance in this movie, that made Johnny Depp say he was Charlie for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. It's been a while since I've seen this movie but just thinking about it makes me want to go and watch it, and I do own the… read full review »

This movie has a fantastic story line.  The story pulls you into it and leaves you wanting more when it ends.  This a terrific cast that works well together and makes everything they say believable.  Johnny Depp has outdone himself in this movie.  He has proven that he can act across the spectrum. … read full review »
