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

What a refreshing movie for families, after so many ridiculous "family films" full of arguing and food fights. I don't have a lot to add that others haven't already said, but this movie was beautifully done and encourages children (and even those who aren't children) to find the magic in themselves. I was very happy with this film and highly recommend it. There is one scene that very small children may be a bit frightened by.

Splitting kindergarteners into groups, I was given the privilege of assigning names for each group. I was surprised to learn that about two-thirds of them had recently seen `The Chronicles of Narnia - The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Widescreen Edition),' so I knew names like Aslan, Mr. Tumnus, and the beavers would mean something special to them. `Weren't you scared when the wolves showed up?' I asked. `No,' they said in unison if not with some amusement. The thought hadn't occurred to ... Read More

This was such a good, bright, intriguing, magical movie. However I couldn't give it the full 5 stars for two reasons. First, it is terribly sad. I generally don't mind "bittersweet" movies, but this one just drug me too far down that even the joyful ending couldn't erase the sad feeling from earlier in the film. Mahoney's distress was just too real!
The second reason is the manner in which Magorium dies. I love that the movie somewhat "demystifies" death, reinforcing that a life well ... Read More

This movie is suitable for all ages. It really is entertaining and magical, and yet it seems to teach us sorta of a moral as well.
Wonderful performance by Dustin Hoffman.
