Finding Neverland - or Never Finding Land

Rating: 1/10 (6 August 2005)

This movie is seriously boring. Seriously. I know it's meant to be magical and inspiring and fun. But it's not. Then again, if you like Depp and Winslet, if you don't mind Julie Christie reappearing from the grave, if you have no problem with some wooden English boys trying to act, if you think a story-line can be made out of sticks and if you think 'magic' consists of a fluffy fat dog on stage and a guy dancing with his dog, then by all means, go and see it. If you think you will get a Tim Burton dish, you're wrong. Depp has long since lost my vote. Never mind Winslet. The young promising English actor boy... all the best to him but I get the Culkin-Haley-Osment-shivers already (lay off of those kids !). I hope I do not sound bitter. It's just that I expected so much more. And it was not delivered. If you are like me and you watched this movie, you will know what I mean...
