Finding Neverland

Wow, I just watched "Finding Neverland,"...it's probably one of my new favorite movies.

***
"Award winners Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, Dustin Hoffman and Julie Christie star in this magical tale about one of the world's greatest storytellers and the people who inspired his masterwork, Peter Pan! Well known playwright James M. Barrie finds his career at a crossroads when his latest play flops and doubters question his future. Then by chance he meets a widow and her four adventurous boys. Together they form a friendship that ignites the imagination needed to produce Barrie's greatest work!" ~Synopsis on the back of the DVD case =D

Pros:

• One of the reasons I enjoyed this movie was because it combined two of my favorite things: Fantasy, and theatre!!
• Also, I found the scenery to be absolutely stunning throughout the whole film!
• The musical score was beautiful!
• I personally loved the snatches of the actual play of "Peter Pan" that you catch throughout
• Smaller children will enjoy the small, subtle references between the people who influenced the main characters of the "Peter Pan" and, uh, the characters they influenced, if that makes sense.

Cons:

• Um.... It says on the little label in the back, " Some material may not be suitable for children." I can't exactly think what that might specifically entail... oh wait, brilliant; it says, "For mild thematic elements and brief language." I don't recall language being used... but whatever.
• Uh...Not all the acting is superb.

All in all, I must say I found this movie very enjoyable!! Again, I'm studying as much as I can relating to "Peter Pan," for the play that I'm officially going to do!! Auditions are this Wednesday, so keep me in your prayers!! Thanks so much!!
