I watched this movie with my friend along with her two co-workers. It is a heart-warming movie, especially good for those broken families and single girls. A famous play writer falls into love with a sick windowed mom with four young children. Also, a great movie for kids. Never give up hopes; life will surprise you.

A lot of elements I liked about this movie. I like the British accent, the late Victorian Era's fashion, the mannerism, and the decoration. I enjoyed watching the stunningly handsome and wonderfully talented Johnny Depp, the curvaceous and graceful Kate Winslet, the four lovely kids, and the beautiful story. It explores the possible life which lead "Peter Pan" author J.M. Barrie to create the children's classic, just like the movie "Shakespeare in love" for Shakespeare's well-known classic "Romeo and Juliet.

He meets four boys with a widowed mother, who is getting weaker every time, in a park. This experience inspires his work, and also causes rough water in his marriage. The subtlety of the romance in the movie was impressive. I kept asking myself during the movie: Is he into her or isn't? Yes, he loves her whole-heartedly. It is fresh to watch a movie that has romance without overt sexuality, and true emotion without sentimentality. It suits the dating practice at the Victorian time. By the way, the Victorian time is much like Feudal time in China, rigid, serious, and restrictive.

It is a movie making your heart sing and your soul delighted.
