Peter Pan (Williams) has grown up to be a cut-throat merger and acquisitions lawyer, and is married to Wendy's granddaughter. Captain Hook (Hoffman) kidnaps his children, and Peter returns to Never Land with Tinkerbell (Roberts). With the help of her and the Lost Boys, he must remember how to be Peter Pan again in order to save his children by battling with Captain Hook once again.
AMAZON.COM REVIEWS FOR HOOK (1991): Steven Spielberg's deeply flawed but sporadically fun andmoving update of the Peter Pan legend stars Robin Williams as thegrown-up Pan, a corporate-takeover type who must embrace his oldidentity in order to save his kids from Captain Hook (DustinHoffman). The stars put on a good show, including Hoffman's read ofHook's hysterical personality, Julia Roberts mini-turn as a tinyTinker Bell, and Maggie Smith's touching performance as the agedWendy. The visual contrast between the adult Pan's bustling outsideworld and the insulated fantasy of Neverland is striking, butSpielberg's ideas about the Lost Boys--politically correct in theirethnic diversity, energetic on skateboards--are contrived andcheapening. On the plus side, the story's theme about adults findingtheir innocence again through their children is very touching (thoughsome people have found it cloying). If you can look beyond the glaringproblems, there's plenty to like here. --Tom Keogh
