Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

2.5 STARS

This was a fun kids movie. It reminded me a lot of Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang, the old Dick Van Dyke movie. Some of the characters were well portrayed, and parts of it were very good. The ending... was a little lacking - probably because it was a bit cliché. It was not as good as other recent kid shows like The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe or Bridge to Terabithia, but was more like The Last Mimzy.

I thought this was a fun idea, and there was a whimsicality about it that I loved. However, I didn't feel as emotionally pulled into the story as I wanted to be. It seemed kind of "surfacy" to me.

The look totally fit the movie, very colorful and creative. The sets were fun, and I would love to live in the store. Overall, it was okay, but not a movie I see myself remembering with fondness in 5 years.
