Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium

2007

Starring: Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman

Rating: 3.5

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is a fun movie with a very good message. Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Portman must have had so much fun playing in it - literally playing in it. Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is a great movie to watch with the whole family. It tells the story of Mr. Magorium and his magical toy shop. However, when Mr. Magorium decides to give control of his shop over to his store manager, Mahoney, crazy things begin to happen.

So, if I enjoyed Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium so much, why did I rate it a little lower than you'd have expected? Well, it certainly has nothing to do with Dustin Hoffman's acting. He's incredible. Have you ever seen a movie where Dustin Hoffman wasn't amazing? I know I haven't. Anyway, Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium was rated lower because I wasn't a fan of the end. It felt a little bit abrupt, and like there should have been more of a resolution. In fact, there should have been A resolution. There wasn't one at all really.

Do check out Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium though, because it is fun and has a great moral.
