Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn stole the show, as is expected. However, the film is a very fun and nostalgic trip, the remaining cast getting the job done well. While it could use some development, the ideas present and the general whim about the film allow it to stand amongst other contemporary classics.

Naturally, the film also sports great production values, with Spielberg, Kennedy, and Marshall at it once again. Go see it.

A "no regret" manifesto that makes one giddy with childhood nostalgia -- filled to the brim with symbolic undertones -- and finally coated in Spielberg's ability to create mainstream appeal. Using two extremely versatile talents, Robin Williams & Dustin Hoffman, Spielberg is successfully able to recreate the feel of Peter Pan in an enchanting contemporary setting. Hook is an epic, Hook is a comedy, Hook is an adventure, Hook is a drama, and most importantly Hook is a lesson. If you are a true movie-lover, it will undoubtedly HOOK you in, for this particular film shows what making motion pictures is all about.
