Review of Saving Mr. Banks (2013) by A T — 25 Jun 2014
I liked Marry Poppins as a child, even the Grade 3 performance of the story was entertaining. But Disney doing an adaptation of making Mary Poppins, is really....just that. Colin Farrell, Paul Giamatti, Jason Schwartzman and the little girl do great work.
But Hanks, as likeable as he is, just seems too concerned with "earning that Oscar" that he feels more Hanks than Disney. The same can be said of Emma Thompson's PL Travers, who seems more neurotic than necessary.
It's disappointing and overcliched that with a cast like this you expect a bit more pedigree.
