Imagine That

Movie where Eddie Murphy plays a workaholic father who has to learn the True Meaning of Family #437.

This was so bland I forgot I watched it. IMAGINE THAT

A charming family movie. It’s lacking the depth of what real adult life entails, as it’s made for children, but a sweet reminder for parents to reprioritize their parenting and career focuses. Eddie Murphy’s role as the father gets a little suspended from reality when he finds his way fully to his daughter’s imaginative play world and doesn’t care what a fool he makes of himself to other adults and at his workplace. The underlying message of the movie is sweet if you can suspend reality.

Premise: A seven year old's imaginary friend starts giving hot financial tips.. Outcome: My imaginary friend stopped talking to me once he found out I'd watched this !

Crap film but makes me wish real bankers systems were only as irrational as this one.

"In its minimalism that borders on self-parody, Imagine That is reminiscent of M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening." - Ryan Stewart

Whilst only ever representing itself as a cute little movie this flick has very few redeeming qualities. If you want to see just the funny bits I highly recommend the trailer, otherwise you may find yourself asking for your time back if you are over the age of 8 years old.

With little negative content but some magical elements, this is a heartwarming, funny movie showing the love that can grow between a father and a daughter.

Investment advice from the mouth of a seven-year-old babe, relaying tips from invisible friends beneath a security blanket. Murphy, as the profiting father who learns to value his daughter for more than money, seems often foolish, occasionally peevish, never actually funny.
