Maybe Peter Pan adaptations are not meant to be box office hits. Don\u2019t think so? Listen to us go through an unsettling overview of Neverland disappointments as we circle PJ Hogan\u2019s critically celebrated but financially underwhelming PETER PAN. But reviews and dollars aside, how do we feel about this fourth PJ Party? Is it a rebound for Hogan, getting him back on both our good graces after his divisive previous movie? And what\u2019s the deal with those people freaking out about the movie\u2019s \u201cadult\u201d themes?
