Title: When Barrie created PETER PAN....
Product review: ...he was reacting to the current theatrical scene in London. He was tired of writing melodramatic, chauvinist, manipulative, and overly-sentimental plays. PETER PAN was brilliant and revolutionary because it was fantastic, escapist and playful. Unfortunately this film is almost EXACTLY what Barrie deplored! It is melodramatic, predictable, chauvinist, and maudlin. The acting is quite good, but Depp has done similiar work far too many times. He is a terrific actor but he should explore new territory.One scene does stand out: the creation of PETER PAN on stage. The audience's reaction tells all: they are either astounded, reviled, but never unmoved.
