Hook
Film · 1991
The boy who wasn't supposed to grow up—Peter Pan—does just that, becoming a soulless corporate lawyer whose workaholism could cost him his wife and kids. During his trip to see Granny Wendy in London, the vengeful Capt. Hook kidnaps Peter's kids and forces Peter to return to Neverland.
The sides of Hook
- A grown-up Peter Pan who forgot Neverland

Hook is good for you if…
- you like a Neverland of pirate ships and flying boys.
- you like a busy father learning to be there for his kids.
- you want an adventure to share with children.
Hook is bad for you if…
- two hours and twenty minutes is too much for you.
- you roll your eyes at speeches about the magic of childhood.
