Saving Mr. Banks
We live here a large collection of comedic and biographical events that tell the author P.L. Travers, where she presents a model for her childhood after a reluctantly meeting with Walt Disney. On the other hand, Walt Disney may try to adapt Mary Poppins' own books to the big screen, and there may be strong and influential surprises because of that idea.

Saving Mr. Banks works well under the directorial style of John Lee Hancock, but its real mark will be left thanks to the multifaceted Thompson.

It may be the most self-congratulatory bit of hagiography Hollywood has ever produced, and that's saying something.

With a few distorted facts, Saving Mr. Banks takes on a life of its own, and there's enough truth in it to make you swallow the rest . . . with or without a spoonful of sugar.

Smart, delightful.

Although at times overly sweet and emotional, Saving Mr. Banks is for the most part warm, heartfelt and easy to like. It's hard not to appreciate the Disney magic once again on display here.

The whole thing leaves you with an appalling chill. It feels like a warning from Hollywood to the ambivalent creators of anything: Take the spoonful of sugar or we'll force-feed it to you.

Saving Mr Banks is a merciless film. It hits you with every sentimental low blow it can think of. Then it pounds you again. And when you're down, it jumps on you.

There is a lot of tricky narrative positioning in the script that works in building momentum, but it often feels so manipulated that it's tough to keep your eyes from rolling.

The sap doesn't run too thick, although it does run, and the movie certainly has a patented Disney upbeat feel much of the time. It's more a spoonful of sugar than medicine for aging baby boomer's souls.

Pencil Thompson in now for an Oscar nomination, and maybe a win, and prepare to leave the theater humming the iconic songs.
