Hook


Last evening our family paid a visit to Neverland via the DVD Hook.  Starring Robin Williams as Peter Banning an overworked lawyer and father of two, with Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook, Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell (I like her so much better with long hair!) and Maggie Smith as Granny Wendy Darling.

Yes, the book of Peter Pan was written based on Wendy's adventures.  Wendy, now a grandmother, is being recognized for her work with orphans and Peter and his family fly to be there for the celebration.  While at the ceremony, Peter's son and daughter are kidnapped and Peter must save them.  He must go to Neverland, he must believe, he must battle Captain Hook again, this time for the lives of his children!

I love this version of the story of Peter Pan.  It serves as a reminder to all to never grow old but to live and enjoy life.

Steven Spielberg creates some real magic in this old but never dated nor boring film.  This should be a classic in everyone's library.

Rated  5/5
