Big Disappointment

Rating: 3/10 (1 January 2014)

Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson...how can it miss?
It did.
Performances were first rate, especially Ms. Thompson. How CAN that woman play such a frumpy and unpleasant character and still be so beautiful and desirable? The woman is an artist. That wasn't the problem. Hanks was adequate and nothing more.
The story spent WAY too much time on the deeply depressing relationship between Ms. Travers and her father and WAY too little time on the relationship between her, Disney, and Disney's team. The movie is frankly a downer, BIG time.
I can't recommend it. Sensitive people and those prone to depression NEED to avoid it.
