Hook

I am amazed at how many people I talk to who have never seen this movie. Talk about star power? Spielberg directs Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Julia Roberts, Phil Collins (yes, of Genesis), Maggie Smith (Prof. McGonagall for you Potter fans), and a very young Gwyneth Paltrow.

Even if you are not a fan of the Pan, you should see this movie just for the theatrical one-liners. There are several which, once they have entered your psyche, may remain part of your personal vernacular forever.

"I think I just had an apostrophe"

"Bad form"

"Your brains been junktified"

And so on. How many more will you adopt? Who knows.

If you do however love the Pan story and have not seen this movie, please see it before you grow up. Your path to grown-up status should be significantly corrected.

If it has been some time since you've seen it, get it and watch it with people you like to have fun with. Kids love this movie for the story and near constant action. Oh, and there is a great food fight. Adults who used to be kids love this movie for the reminders is sends.

We all age chronologically, that is a law of nature. There is no law however, that says we must extinguish the inner child. Let yours out for a little while and see this movie.
