a joy!!

Rating: 9/10 (8 June 2005)

What a delight of a movie! Prepare to laugh cry and be charmed, just wonderful!! A little slow to begin with, but it gathers pace. It really makes you think too in these times of Paedophile allegations ala Michael Jackson etc, how difficult even back then it was as a non-family member to form a relationship with a child. and yet when children lack a father it is so important for them to positive male role models. Depp is in great form. And Dustin Hoffman is a treat in his smaller role. Winslet is her normal good standard. As for Freddie Highmore, I simply cannot wait to see him, in his next role in Charlie and the Chocolate factory. what a find!! Pure fantasy, makes you feel about 10 years old all over again! I'm off to the library now to borrow a copy of Peter Pan!
