Review
Unfortunate cheapening of the beloved James Barrie tale of Peter Pan, with Williams as
a heartless corporate takeover honcho who must rediscover his true identityas
Panin order to save his children, who've been kidnapped by Captain
Hook. Great
casting in key roles is dissipated by a script that offers no joy, and very little
magicwith a troupe of TV-generation Lost Boys who'd be more at home in a McDonald's
commercial. (Musician David Crosby and an unrecognizable Glenn Close have bit parts
as pirates.) If this is Peter Pan for the 90s, give us the 50s instead
