Sappy, but definitely not a "chick-flick" type

Rating: 9/10 (21 March 2005)

Yes, I am a guy and I found this movie a little too sappy for men's tastes - but don't get me wrong - this is an excellent film. This is not a chick flick. Finding Neverland follows the life of the writer of Peter Pan and how he got his inspiration.
Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet both work wonderfully together in this one. I enjoyed most of the film although it can go from charming to tear-jerking at times. Perhaps the movie gave us the hard truth, though. The cinematography is brilliant and truly gives for a magical experience. It's really a movie that will snag at your imagination while at the same time keeping focus on the plot. And all the girls I saw it with were sniffling at the end.
It was a little tough for me to wear it through the romantic/relational parts, and I am not going to judge it on that. Great movie. 9/10.
