FINDING NEVERLAND, a story about “Peter Pan” creator J. M. Barrie, is a thin but rewarding film, featuring an excellent performance by Johnny Depp – the first role I’ve seen in which he doesn’t grossly overact. Another highlight is the extraordinary performance by Freddie Highmore as a member of the family that inspires Barrie to write “Peter Pan.” NEVERLAND is an enjoyable and touching movie, but ultimately is rather insubstantial.

I would never categorize Johnny Depp as an overactor. He just isn't. His portrayal of the Jack Sparrow in PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN was meant to be over the top and he was brilliant. Finding Neverland was a beautiful movie and I recommend it to everyone.

Finding Neverland was a beautiful movie and I recommend it to everyone.

Me, too!
That precious little Freddie Highmore stole our hearts.
Johnny Depth is wonderful in it. I can't wait to purchase the DVD.
