A Most Charming evening at the movies

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2004)

Johnny Depp continues his excellence in acting by making each role different and believable. But its a newcomer playing the role of young Peter that reels you in without mercy. It's an remarkable cast, a well written story, and a wonderful evening at the movies. Take a tissue box for the rewarding sentimentalism, but know that you will leave convinced there is a Neverland. Because it is so identifiable, the story of Peter Pan is easy to blend and jog the memory of every viewer until they are drawn in yet again to the Peter Pan story and all its nuances. But the subtle weaving of the play and the real life story together, involve the viewer slowly into the climax as the play itself is unveiled, and the movie theater audience is as drawn in as the screen audience they are watching. Watch for this not only at Oscar time, but also as a video favorite through the years.
