The movie Hook appeals to the kid in all of us as well as teaches a valuable lesson. In the beginning of the movie Peter Pan has grown up and has become a grumpy old man. He works to much which leave no time for him to play with his kids. All his children want is to play with their dad and have fun. I think we can all relate to this. We all go about our very day life and don't really think about what we are passing up. Friends, family and loved ones get the sort end of the stick.
Peter's family convinces him to take a vacation to London where he grew up. When they get there captain hook who is peter arch enemy comes and kidnaps Peter's kids. Peter is forced to face his past which he has completely forgotten. It is up to peter to go to neverland to save his kids. Once peter has spent some time in neverland he realizes that he has more fun playing make believe and finds the kid inside himself. We all have the kid inside us, it's just waiting for you to let it out. Let yourself have fun, pretend and just be goofy.
Peter ends up saving his kids and when they get back to London he is a changed man. He plays with his kids more and pays more attention to the little things in life. We all could learn a thing or two from the idea that it is alright to be silly and not worry about how we look or what people will say about us. If you watch kids play they don't have a care in the world and it is very freshing to let yourself go in this way. This movie shows us that it is better to find a way to balance our responsibility's while still making the most of life.
