It's Gwen T @GwenIsGwandi Feb 9 It's insane that this movie has this kind of rating on here. This movie is so wholesome, so touching and comments on what makes life magical. The movie is shot beautifully and the acting is delightful. Critiques did not understand this movie because it doesn't bombard you with whimsy and instead gives a meaningful message with a touching and fun story that paces itself in its own way. I would recommend this movie to anyone. See more Larissa H @RT45270034 Dec 24 The low ratings is a surprise, I guess because I watched this as a kid and loved it! As an adult I still love the underlying message that 'the magic is within.' Mr. Magorium's character is a wonderful, electric and eccentric character, he embodies the powerful creator that we all have inside us. Mahony's dance at the end is a bit cringe haha, but the message is wholesome, in that we all have a sparkle and inner child that we must nurture. See more Shawn B @ShawnieB Dec 16 This movie is a revelatory allegory for life. Dustin Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Zach Mills, and Jason Bateman deliver flawless performances that bring this story to life. The store itself is a character in the movie, that brings touches of whimsical magic in all sorts of delightful ways. This movie can remind you of the magic that is available to us all. See more Jacob P. @MajorMelon Nov 29 Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium is one of those rare films that reminds you—gently, beautifully, and undeniably—that believing in yourself is a kind of magic all its own. Wrapped in whimsy and wonder, this movie tells a story that reaches far beyond its fantastical toy shop setting. At its core, it’s about rediscovering your inner child, embracing the parts of yourself you’ve forgotten, and learning that the impossible becomes possible the moment you trust in who you are. The film’s emotional depth is what makes it unforgettable. It’s tender without being overly sweet, whimsical without losing its sincerity. Watching Molly Mahoney grow into her confidence—and watching the Emporium respond to her belief—is genuinely moving, and the film delivers moments that are sure to bring on tears, even for the most stoic viewers. Every scene feels like a warm reminder of the beauty that still lives in imagination, creativity, and childlike wonder. Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium isn’t just a movie; it’s an experience that touches the heart, inspires the spirit, and lingers long after the credits roll. A truly enchanting 5-star gem. See more Hut 3 @RT03992044 Sep 4 The toys are a red herring. This film is about hurting people being healed by one another with the guidance of its namesake. That’s the true magic. Makes me ache every time. Beautiful. See more Kalli S @RT21819308 Aug 23 This is one of the best movies I have ever seen in my life. Yes, at the beginning, some of the toy store effects weren't as special as the director may have wanted... Perhaps a bit overblown, but once you get past that (that falls somewhere between the beginning and the half way point), this movie is an absolute gem. The characters are truly made to stand together... Alone they do not make sense. This film made me appreciate inter-character dynamics more than any other film I've seen, where I'm so used to switching perspectives based on each character. Mr. M's speech is iconic. The line that shook me: "Your life is an occasion. Rise to it." I literally want to print that out and put it in my cubicle at work. Life can get so serious, heavy, and hum-drum as we get older. Movies like this serve as reminders that we don't have to lose that childlike wonder as we age. See more Read all reviews
