    Just really kind of boring!

    I thought this looked like such a cute movie. Perfect for my kiddos, or so I thought. They were so bored. It is to bad because:
    the idea was there,
    the actors were there,
    the effects were there
    and the plot could have been there....... but it was not.
    It focused to much on the relationship between the shopkeeper and the employee and not nearly enough on the ownders of the store. All the producer/director etc had to do was watch charlie and the chocolate factory and they would have seen the way to go to make this successful.

    My suggetion worth the rental at your local redbox for $1, but not worth the money it costs to go to the theater.

    Christmas List.

    Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is sure a mouthful, however the movie itself seemed less complex than the title. Mr. Magorium, played by Dustin Hoffman, is the 243 year old manager of the toy store who one day runs out of shoes and decides it is his time to leave. There are many instances of imagination, randomness and fun that make this "G" movie very suitable for younger children. This movie was almost like looking at a Toys R Us catalog come to life. It is a Christmas list waiting to be written. This movie is not aimed for adults, but is great for kids.

    Fantasy Meets Mr. Magorium

    This movie was outstanding it was nothing what I expected. The film was an eye opener to movie viewers to believe in themselves and believe you can be anything. Excellent Morals and overall wonderful Magorium performance from Dustin Hoffman. Bravo, Two Thumbs Way up!!!!!!!
