Equal parts whimsical and bittersweet, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is a family-friendly movie that will charm youngsters. Dustin Hoffman stars in the titular role of an eccentric 243-year-old owner of a magical toy store. He doesn't appear to be sick, but he has lived a long and happy life and is content to leave his emporium to his employee Molly Mahoney (Natalie Portman). A former child prodigy who has grown up unsure of herself, she barely knows who she is, much less what she wants to become. Molly is both frightened that her beloved boss is leaving and that she will be left in charge of a store she doesn't know how to run. "Are you dying?" she asks him. Magorium points out, "Light bulbs die, my dear. I am departing." His take on death is both comforting and matter of fact, things younger viewers may find soothing when dealing with mortality. Though the film has drawn comparisons to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, this G-rated venture is less dark, curious and interesting than the former. Still, it offers dazzling visuals and a premise that who you are isn't equivalent with who you think you are. Adult moviegoers may find the premise cloying and repetitive. But seen from a child's eye, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is indeed a magical place for a short visit. --Jae-Ha Kim

This is one for the whole family to watch. The CGI is excellent. If you are into a story telling fantasy style movie don't miss this one. The first time that my daughter wanted to watch it, I thought great another childrens movie, but as it started it was unique in every aspect as it continues I was the one who wanted to watch it again again.
Brilliant! April 20, 2009

This movie is brilliant in it's simplicity...a great family film, and I mean it when I say FAMILY! It's rare, as some people here have written, to find a G rated film, so I did jump on this as well. I was shocked to be so moved by a children's film. Some of the things that are said in this film are so profound, I can't recommend it enough. I may not be repeating this exactly as it was said, but this may sum up this magical film for you..."37 seconds lived well, is a lifetime." What better message to send our kids than that, I don't know....

I rented this movie for my two boys (8 and 6). It is rare these days to find a Rated G movie. I jumped on the opportunity to rent this for my family.
The simply loved the movie. They could not keep their eyes off the screen. I actually enjoyed it myself. Who doesn't like a movie about magic, wonder, friendship, family and friends.
I will purchase this movie for my children.
