Finding Neverland (2004)
I don't like "true" stories that blatantly change facts and I don’t like the distraction of children who can't act (both elements are present here).
It also felt deflated…very muted. During the first hour and 15 minutes, there were about 3 interesting (and semi-magical) scenes. The dang thing didn't even really get involving until the play "Peter Pan" went into rehearsals. Although the film was passable after that point, it still relied too heavily on sentimentality and emotional cheats.
