'Finding Neverland' Takes Enchanted Look at Author

By Bob Mondello
Published November 12, 2004 at 12:00 AM EST

NPR's Bob Mondello reviews the new biographical film Finding Neverland, starring Johnny Depp as Peter Pan creator J.M. Barrie. Mondello says the movie is in some ways as much a fantasy as that children's classic, and has the same sense of enchantment.
