what do you say about this brilliantly presented 'family' film ?
'charming' 'humerous' 'magic' with a hint of 'sadness and joy' combined in it's finally.
'mr magnorium' ( dustin hoffman ) owns a 'magic' toy-shop where everything within appears to come to life.
his store manager 'molly' ( natalie portman ) and a 9 year old boy inter-act within this wonderous place.
'mr magnorium' is '234' years old, many years ago he bought several pairs of identical shoes, it had allways been his intention to leave this world when the last pair
wore out.
he has never paid tax, or kept 'books' as a record of sales, he hires an accountant to sort out the reciepts and value the shop before he departs.
the accountant does not observe the magic within the sore until the end.#
'mr magnorium' gifts the shop to his manager 'molly'
trouble is as he winds down his life the shop begins to die from within.
'mr magnorium' had given 'molly' a block of wood some while earlier, will she uncover it's powers before she has sold the shop ?
this is a really 'joyfull' watch, ( watched it last night on region 1 dvd ) wev'e been treated to some really good family films over the past 18 months or so, ths film is up there with the best of them.
a must for children of 'all' ages.
When I saw the trailer I was immediately fascinated, and I actually thoroughly enjoyed this movie! It's original, and although it might be considered a bit childish, I think that a little magic is alway good for everyone! I found the actors and the perfomances they delivered very good, this film is easy, but it also contains many good messages. Absolutely worth watching!
i enjoyed this film, and its a good family entertainment, but it seemed muddled at times, it was not as good or as magical as i expected, but well worth watching, maybe buy it in the sales at a cheaper price than when its released.
This film is one fo the best, all children would love it and it is so majical and original. Great film.
Myself and two sons, aged 8 and 11, loved this film. Not a great fan of Dustin Hoffman, I was suprised how much I enjoyed it. Aswell as a magical effects delight, a touching story, dealing with the loss of precious people in our lives. Yet celebrating the joy they have brought us. A DVD MUST for Christmas 2008!
