Critics Consensus

A sweet ode to rediscovering one's inner child, IF largely works as old-fashioned family entertainment despite an occasionally unfocused and unnecessarily complicated plot.

Audience Says

IF captures childhood wonder through a nostalgic adult lens that earnestly explores the importance of friendship, imaginary or not.

This Pixar-ish fable by John Krasinski falls a little short of the films it resembles.

IF tries to wow us with celebrity voices and visual gags about melting marshmallows, but never quite settles into itself.

Rated: 2/5

The movie adopts a safe and comfortable narrative for children while featuring deeper themes of loss, grief, hope and love.

This is a film aimed at the young and easily impressionable, and how unabashed it is about the way it courts those viewers works in its favor. Until it really doesn't.
