    IMAGINE THAT - surprisingly CHARMING and SWEET! Rating: 80 out of 100. (Per advance press preview)

    by MOVIES REVIEWER

    June 11 - I just previewed this cute and funny movie at a advance press screening. And it charmed me off my feet!

    I enjoyed the metaphor-laden plot - and the family-friendly humor. And the audience did as well - we were all laughing and enjoying ourselves silly at Eddie Murphy's on-screen funny antics. And I had no idea that Thomas Haden Church could do comedy until now - I was pleasantly surprised - he was funny! This is a FUN and SWEET movie.

    Themes: parental responsibility/fatherhood, power of imagination, getting in touch with your inner child, belief in yourself, conflict/cooperation/rivalry, priorities, etc.

    I want myself a Googa/Gunga/Guga blanket too!!! (the cheap version and not the $6000 plus Red Bull version!)

    VERDICT:
    Great family-oriented entertainment!
    Will appeal to both kids and parents/adults.
    Go see it!
    ACTUAL GRADE: B

    FULL OF HEART movie!

    by sensationaljewelry

    For those of us adults who still have the 'CHILD' in us with a sense of 'ADVENTURE AND FANTASY" this is a FUN and HEART warming cute story!

    For children - its great as well!

    I think its a FANTASTIC family, heartwarming and endearing story of a businessman whos always been 'too busy' for his family.. and soon finds out how 'IMPORTANT' his daughter is to him and REALLY gets to finally know her after he and his wife split

    I have NO idea why some people don't like it.. that is UNLESS its because they prefer stupid comedy, violence, sex and nudity etc!

    I thought all the characters were fantastic!
    I think some people oughta stay home if they aren't into 'heartwarming' stories!
    I think some people are just PLAIN HARD TO PLEASE!

    This was the best movie I've seen in a while.
    Wish there were more like it.
    No language, sex or nudity.
    You don't have to have the language,etc. for a good movie.
    Would pay to see this movie again.
    GOOD JOB
