It shows us that never too late for an imagination. Stay be young not depend on ages and don't hurry to be the adults trying to lose the funny eager creativity wishing yourself had looking serious for surrounded.

Simply a charming and wonderful movie. I'm even going to refrain from immediately researching the life of JM Barrie as I don't want it to intrude on the magic of the film; I can always do that later. Of course there will be naysayers who trash the picture, I'm no longer surprised by those kinds of reactions ever since I read the negative reviews on IMDb for "The Wizard of Oz". However unlike some, I won't castigate those who don't like either of these movies, but it would be welcome if some considered reasons were put forward instead of offering clichéd put-downs. I think this might be the only time I've seen Johnny Depp in a role portraying a normal type of character. The last movie I saw him in, he was slashing throats as Sweeney Todd, so this was quite a departure from characters like the Demon Barber, Edward Scissorhands or Jack Sparrow. He offered a decidedly reserved portrayal of the author JM Barrie and played wonderfully against the four young actors representing the Llewelyn Davies siblings. I guess the best word to describe the movie is that it was magical, and I think that word would apply for viewers both children and adults. I think it's a good idea to indulge in magic every once in a while because that's the kind of thing that keeps one young at heart and young in spirit. A picture like this makes us aware of that fact, and if one ever needs a reminder, the best advice comes from the movie itself - just believe.

I have problem with movies that use real life characters and make supposedly biographical movies but they alter key elements that completely change the meaning of a film. And that is the case in this movie. Basically just the names of the characters are true, most of the rest is fake or modified significantly from actual facts, including the main scenes in the movie. If they are going to take such licences, they should change the names of the characters and at most say "inspired on the life of..... " etc.). This killed the movie for me.

I'm honest I had prejudice against this movie: 1) I'm bored with Deep 2) making a movie about an author is the ground zero of a story: Barrie wrote « peter pan » : here's the story ! how he got his ideas is not a story ! But as Kate was in it, I forced myself to watch it. Unfortunately i just hold on a couple of minutes : Barrie is dangerously cheating his wife and that's not an attitude i like ! I have saw the kid in the awful « Spiderwick » and he is as bad as previously ! Kate is ill throughout the movie and there is nothing entertaining for me ! I push « forward » most of the time : i watched the opening of the play but it feels so weak to watch that in the movie that i just zap it to the end ! In conclusion, just prefer « hook » or Disney animation and you will find fun and magic about childhood ! As for me, i long to reach my 1000th review as i will stop to write about those bad movies and lose twice my time!!!
