London at the turn of the 20th century, and the playwright JM Barrie's (Depp) last few plays have been flops. Then by chance one day he meets society widow Sylvia Llewelyn Davies (Winslet) and her adorable, if unruly, brood of children. Through them he becomes inspired to write a new kind of play for kids and adults alike. The first is about a flying boy, a suburban family and a magical place called Neverland. Delightful adaptation of Allan Knee's popular stage play with great performances all round.
