FINDING NEVERLAND (2004)

Finding Neverland (Widescreen Edition)Entertaining? Definitely. In ways I wasn't expecting. This is both a crowd-pleaser and a smart film. It doesn't pander--for that reason, alone, it's one of my favorite films of the last 12 months.
Technically any good? While not flawless, the film presses the right emotional buttons with just the right pressure. I knew the film was going for my emotions, but it was so sweet, I didn't care. Would have liked to see a bit more character from the "love interest," but no movie is perfect.
How did I feel as the credits rolled? I don't know--I was too busy sobbing my eyes out. Bring a Kleenex when you see this film--but definitely see it.
Final Rating? GSN (This film may not seem like your cup of tea, but if you have a soul, you'll enjoy this movie.)
