Damion Dietz

The marriage of convenience between a former professional baseball player and his trophy begins to crack at the foundation in a provocative examination of modern mores from director Damion Dietz. Joe is a former MLB star who now works as a coach. Mary is a trust fund girl who only wanted an emotional partner. Despite their agreement to permit extramarital affairs as long as there is no outside emotional attachment, things begin to slowly fall apart as Joe begins to succumb to his driving homosexual desires. When Joe becomes involved with a handsome-but-unstable landscaper and an old college friend coerces Mary into confronting her lesbian past, the couple is forced to choose between a comfortable life defined by lies, or an uncertain future in which both embrace their true natures regardless of the social ramification. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Despite its target audience, the tale of Peter Pan offers a plethora of darker implications ranging from the natural fear of aging and responsibility to discovering sexuality despite the strong inclination to resist all that clashes with youth. A far cry from Steven Spielberg's Hook, director Damion Dietz taps into this seldom seen side of Pan in Neverland. When a seductive Peter Pan (Rick Sparks) and his vocally reluctant sidekick Tinkerbell (Kari Wahlgren) convince adopted siblings Wendy (Melany Bell), Michael (Marcus Reynaga), and John Darling (Wil Wheaton) to join him in Neverland, they had no idea that their destination was a deteriorating amusement park serving as home to scads of confused and startlingly attractive youths. Once there, the Darling family becomes victim to Chief Hook's (Gary Kelley) plot. Obsessed with the youth and beauty of Peter Pan, the disgruntled park maintenance man (Kelley) jumps at the opportunity to kidnap the lost boys after Tinkerbell reveals their location in a drug-induced stupor, realizing that only such an action would prompt a face-off with Peter. ~ Tracie Cooper, All Movie Guide
