SpongyBob97's review for "Finding Neverland"

Rating: 6/10 (7 January 2005)

In a heated season of Oscar worthy films, you finally see something that isn't provocative, full of drugs and nudity as many Oscar worthy films are, but a movie that touches the heart in many ways most movies haven't done in ages.
"Finding Neverland's" lead roles were brilliantly casted and played by Johnny Depp, coming off of his "Pirates of the Caribbean" success, J.M. Barrie and Kate Winslet as Sylvia Llewelyn Davies. An outstanding supporting cast consisting of Dustin Hoffman and Julie Christie help guide the lead characters through all of the obstacles such as Barrie's struggle to come up with a new play after his previous disaster and Julie Chritie's never ending crusade to have her grandsons reared up the way she wanted before and after Sylivia succumbs to cancer.
However, this movie also brings to light deeper side of the creation of the classic story, "Peter Pan" and the truth of what went on behind the scenes of one of literature's most beloved fantasies.
