Imagine That

If you need a light-hearted, feel-good, fun flick that won't make you think too much, this might be a good choice. If you are looking for a good hearty belly laughs in the Eddie Murphy tradition, this might not be a good choice.

Murphy's switch to family-friend fare has been noted and, with few exceptions, has not been noteworthy. Kids might enjoy this more if the imagined characters had been CG. Adults might have enjoy this more if it had not been so predictable. Either way both may be left "wanting".

It was not as far-fetched as the recent Adam Sandlers "Bedtime Stories" but at least it had the above-mentioned CG and surprises. This story is a little too sweet and a little too much in the middle to be any good to either age group.

Watch this only if you are a diehard Murphy fan, or if you are in the financial industry.
