Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)

 Don't Bother
I was looking forward to this movie and to say that it disappointed is an understatement. None of the characters are believable or that likable. I watched with a 7 year old and she was bored. I expected more and so will you. If you want a magical experience watch Nanny McPhee. May 9, 2008

 A "WONDER" for us all!
Everyone is entitled to their opinions. That being said. Please disregard garbage opinions such as the one that states this movie "sucks". First off, nice use of language young lady. Secondly, this movie in no way, shape or form is bad. The acting is superb. A great cast. Really phenomenal story line as well. The movie follows a great line of not showing too much magic and allowing viewers to use their own creativity and imagination with it. I am a mom of three who is not really a fan of movies. However, this movie has captivated my children and myself in so many ways. I literally can and do watch it over and over again with my 3 year old and 7 year old. My husband and I really enjoy it as well. Well written, well directed and very well acted. One we will enjoy as a family for some time to come. Thank you for making a wholesome movie the entire family can enjoy. May 4, 2008

 Oh-k movie
Not enough magic for my imagination as it portrayed. The story is actually short as well. May 3, 2008

 Sorry... It sucks
I wanted to like this movie... really I did... but the bottom line is... it sucks.

This movie was supposed to be a fun, whimsical movie... but it just didn't cut it. It drug too much... it seemed like it was going on forever. The guy (I don't remember his name!) didn't believe that the store was magic...Mahoney persistently tried to convince him that it was magic (which drug on throughout the whole movie)...Mr. Magorium kept on saying he was going to die (which made up about half of the movie)...Mahoney didn't believe him... he dies... Mahoney is too sad to take over the store... the little hat boy persistently tries to convince her to take the store... she finally does... the man believes that it's magic... the end. It just drug on forever... and Mahoney is a VERY stubborn person!

Not only this but there's not really that much of a plot... there doesn't exactly seem to be a target age range, considering that it deals with death (which doesn't settle well with 5-8 year olds), and it seems as if the movie makers were trying too hard to make it whimsical and magical and failed miserably (which doesn't suit the older audience that pay attention to those things in a movie).

don't waste your money, people. April 24, 2008

 Finally, a family movie that is truly for the whole family!
My whole family loved this movie! From my 7 & 4 year old daughter & son to my husband and I. The movie has enough whimsy to keep our children entertained and yet the story had enough meat to it to keep my husband and I entertained. Unlike many "kid" movies that try to appeal to adults, "Mr. Magorium" didn't resort to bathroom humor or slap-stick comedy, instead it is a story that focus' on our belief in ourselves and what we can do, without being religious, but being magical. Perhaps the reason this movie is so good is that it is one of the few with A-list actors who give beautiful, fun performances that your family will enjoy over & over. April 21, 2008
