In this umpteenth adaptation of JM Barrie's children's masterpiece, Peter Pan and Wendy flirt away as though there is no tomorrow in Neverland. In searching for a mother, Peter (Jeremy Sumpter) very nearly ends up with a wife. It's no wonder that fairy Tinker Bell (called "Tink" throughout and played with wonderful spirit by Ludivine Sagnier) occasionally throws a tantrum or two. Peter and Wendy (Rachel Hurd-Wood) trifle alarmingly, but convincingly, with each other's hearts as they tussle with Jason Isaacs's terrifying Captain Hook. Australian director/screenwriter PJ Hogan (My Best Friend's Wedding, Muriel's Wedding) gives this spin on the boy who wouldn't grow up a startlingly eye-catching makeover and, despite Sumpter's American accent, manages to retain the essential Englishness of the source text.

In stifling Edwardian London, Wendy Darling mesmerizes her brothers every night with bedtime tales of swordplay, swashbuckling and the fearsome Captain Hook. But the children become the heroes of an even greater story, when Peter Pan flies into their nursery one night and leads them over moonlit rooftops through a galaxy of stars and to the lush jungles of Neverland.
