(I've read Peter Pan and found it to be quite a dark and disturbing book at times but I'm still intrigued by this movie.)

Opens Friday November 12th

I saw a special showing of this movie the other night and I just LOVED it. I went with a few people and dd who is 7 and we all loved it actually. DD was a bit antsy in her seat though-she was expecting it to be funner-more like Peter Pan, but of course it really isn't
I recommend it thats for sure. Great PG movie that actually brought some laughs and tears! And who can turn down Johnny Depp!?

I think what was so great to me about this film is that they could have gone to a place where it would have been more appealing to adults , but then children couldn't watch it. There were issues in the film that adults could understand or use their "imagination" to understand and it really went right over the childs head. I must say though that dd is a very mellow child and is very well mannered. I am not too sure I could have taken a child to see this film like my nephew, who enjoys a lot of action and suspense.
I love Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet is a beauty to watch, with each film of hers that I watch beyond Titanic I grow to like her more and more. This is one I will buy for my collection for sure.

I now have the DVD in my hot little hands and hope to watch it soon. But first I have to finish season 2 of 24.

I enjoyed it very much. I though Depp did an Oscar nomination worthy performance. I was blown away by the actor who played Peter.

I watched this yesterday afternoon and was charmed and moved. The story was beautiful and the movie did a great job of telling it. I'm glad I didn't see it in the theater, though...not nearly enough kleenex available

I just watched this the other day. What a great film. Johnny Depp is such a fantastic actor. He has such a wide range of roles that he has done well. The children where also great, especially the boys who played Peter and Michael.

I have a sister called Wendy and we watched the Mary Martin tv version every year, clapping like mad for Tinkerbell. I found myself clapping and crying right on cue as I watched this film.

Reiki, I did the same thing! And my daughter loved it as well. We taped it and she watched it many times.

I finally watched this last night. I just love Johnny Depp. He can portray so many emotions with his eyes and that to me is the mark of a great actor.

Better late than never! We rented the DVD and watched this as our family movie night. We have four kids, ranging in age from 13.5 down to 5. The movie was enjoyed by all! My husband and I were pleasantly surprised since we really didn't know what to expect. We had heard that Johnny Depp was great in this but I thought all the characters were wonderful.

We enjoyed seeing the Peter Pan play unfold with his imagination. Utterly charming and fanciful. My 9 year old was distressed, however, that the mom died. Maybe it was not a good idea to see this the night before Mother's Day. I sure got hugged to death before his bedtime. He "didn't want me to die" like the mother in the movie. He sure took it all to heart. I had to reassure him that I'd be around for a while longer, God willing.

I didn't really know what to expect from this movie, either, but I loved it. A really nice family film.

I loved this movie. Johnny is great in all his movies. I believe he is the best true actor in Hollywood. I believe th boy that played Peter may be the boy playing one of the main parts in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp.

He sure is! I can not wait for his newest film. I may even go to the midnight showing-I am that much of a fan of Johnny. My dd thinks I am crazy cause I went out and bought a black and white poster of him in the bathtub (from the movie From Hell) and put it over my bathtub!Lol....it's a great way to unwind-staring up at that beautiful man!

finally saw it - it was a very good movie - very touching story and well acted by all ... my only recommendation is dont investigate "the rest of the story" because it takes away some of the sweetness of the movie - both in terms of knowing they compressed time and events (such as the fact the mother died 4 years after the play came out) and knowing more about the family history and what happened afterwards .. BUT if you just watch the movie, it is very good and probably 79.5% accurate
