a real tear-jerker

Well it made me cry. Any film that can do that surely means it's stirring enough emotions for one to believe whole-heartedly in it, so for me it's a good 'un.

The bit which really did it for me was the first performace of Peter Pan in the theatre and the impromptu version in the house later on.

Great performances from Johnny Depp, Kate Winslet, Radha Mitchell and Dustin Hoffman and so nice to see how the story of Peter Pan came about and the magical person that James Barrie seemed to be (even though his love-life and marriage left a lot to be desired).
