Synopsis

Following up his critically acclaimed Monster's Ball, director Marc Forster took on this biography of playwright James Matthew Barrie, the scribe who penned the children's classic Peter Pan. Johnny Depp stars as the turn-of-the-century writer as the film follows Barrie as he struggles to write and have his play produced while he cares for his down-on-their-luck neighbors who inspired the story in the first place. J.M. Barrie's Neverland also stars Dustin Hoffman, Kate Winslet, and Julie Christie. ~ Matthew Tobey, All Movie Guide

extremely good movie, not really for kids, more towards the older. sad ending though. but i highly recommend it. just heads up to cry a little near the end.

This was a O.K. movie.
I know my mom like it better than I did.
It has a sad ending that probally WHY I didn't like it that much.
The plot was dull.
It was sometimes a little hard to understand.
It's more of a parents movie not really a teen/kid movie.
The characters where good in it.
The actors played their part well.

This is a very beautiful movie, but kids probably won't understand it at all. It would entertain them, because there is just enough fantasy to keep them curious, but they will not understand the plot at all.

I thought the movie was brilliant, and Johnny Depp did a marvelous job of playing a man who "never wants to grow up." It wasn't as "happy little dancing fairies" as you would think. It is a dramatic film, and will make you get misty eyed.

I highly recommend it! :)
