Hook (1991)

HOOK IS FOR SCHNOOKS
Well, Darlings -
If this one isn't a stupid idea for a flick, then I don't know what is.
Get this - Peter Pan, the eternal boy, grows up and becomes, of all things, a slimy, Mahattan lawyer.
Yuck! What a despicable premise for a movie-plot.
HOOK could have only come out of the self-satisfied head of STEVEN SPIELBERG, one of America's most idiotic and over-rated directors, ever.
The children portrayed in this flick actually made my skin crawl. Yes, they were that insufferable and obnoxious.
According to this flick - STEVEN SPIELBERG is the self-appointed expert on rearing children. And, this joker says that Mothers need only to be themselves. Yeah. That's OK. Mothers aren't required to do anything else, but, just that - Be Mothers.
But, on the other hand - Fathers must transcend beyond just being mere Fathers. They must do cartwheels and, literally, turn into Peter Pan (just like ROBIN WILLIAMS did) before they can be allowed to gain acceptance from their snooty, little brats.
It's the truth. If you pay real close attention to HOOK's unbelievably biased story it clearly defines the role of each parent in this ridiculous manner.
And, with that in mind - I think that SPIELBERG should take a good, firm grip of HOOK, and shove it right up his keister. Who the hell does he think he is? - Him and his failed marriage to AMY IRVING.
