Steven Spielberg's sequel to "Peter Pan" (as if one was needed), with Peter now a grownup dad returning to Neverland to save his children from the clutches of Captain Hook. The trouble is, Peter doesn't remember anything from his life as a Lost Boy. He no longer knows how to crow or fly. He has to learn all over again. Robin Williams (looking constipated) plays Peter. Julia Roberts (nice legs) plays Tinkerbell. Dustin Hoffman (ugly wig) plays Hook. Maggie Smith plays Wendy as an old woman and Bob Hoskins plays Smee. The setup has some potential, but Spielberg piles on enough cuteness to out-Disney Disney, and that's too much. Kids should like it. Grownups beware.
