Great fun for the family
Excellent job by Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman. This was the best kids movie in years. Such fun and fantastic fantasy!

Not Clumsy at all
I think this the makers of this movie did their research. You can tell by the way the story is presented. If you know the book, you'll enjoy the movie more. I've always thought this movie was a masterpiece, with a good moral about spending time with your kids.

I know some people who love Hook but I am not one of them...I found it to be somewhat dull and annoying. The story Peter Pan was already a great fairy tale, so why did Steven Spielberg need to change it? If it isn't broke, don't fix it! I found that the modern changes brought to Hook were irritating. Rufio and the Lost Boys are mostly obnoxious punks. Peter Pan is a lawyer. And Tinkerbell is...Julia Roberts? Hook wasn't a horrible movie but you wouldn't be missing anything if you didn't see it.

Just Plain FUN
This is one for your video library -- a real keeper! Lots of fun without the worries of language and sex.
