Finding Neverland

Roger and Ebert said "Finding Neverland is, finally, surprisingly moving".... "joyfully unexpected film" said the Times. Well unfortunately all those remarks are a huge understatement. In Marc Forster's Finding Neverland, Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, Freddie Highmore and Kelly MacDonald give the most stunning performances that I have ever seen. This movie tells the tale of a man named Sir James Matthew Barrie (The author of Peter Pan) and how threw death and love finds a tale of unbelievable proportion. This movie not only has good acting, but also features a grade A crew. A shot in particular in a theater, was the of the best shots ever.Although this movie focuses on a guy who wrote for children, the movie can and will seem a tad bit to boring for even the most mature child.This movie has a good beginning, a good middle, and most important of all a good end.

Running Time: 106 min

Rating:PG

Quote: JM Berrie: "Those boys should never be sent to bed... they always wake up a day older."

When you cut out the "filler" info, such as other people's quotes, actor names, running time, and rating, you're not really saying anything at all here.

At least you're not giving away a major plot twist this time. You managed to give the shortest review of Fight Club I've ever seen, and you pretty much gave away the nature of the relationship between Jack and Tyler.

And since Word doesn't seem to be helping your spelling and grammar, you should stop using it to write your reviews. The "smart quotes" feature does not translate well into web pages, so your posts end up being even harder to read.

Please try harder. I'm not trying to discourage you from posting here, but if you're going to review something, put some effort into it, and make more of an attempt to provide useful information.
