I loved it! I think it will hit people differently though, based on how fond of your own childhood you were. I miss mine as a 51 year old, so I got lost in the film quickly and have no issue admitting I was in tears at several points. I took my family and we all loved it across the board. A refreshing break from the current noise of the world we live in. Thank you John and Ryan, it's clear being Dad's is something you love.

@mediamaniac898 Ай бұрын

It wasn’t perfect, but I just don’t understand the harsh criticisms. Saw it with my dad and sister, and even 15 minutes into the movie (for reasons personal to US), my dad and I were whispering to each other that we may not survive the movie. Loved it, was crying man-tears openly by the end. As to the marketing, I know people MY age who see the previews and walk into this one unprepared for its thematic weight. Reminded me of the Golden Age of Pixar, where they could make kids and their parents laugh and cry. By the end I will say (without spoiling anything) that I was also scratching my head, trying to make sense a bit of it all. Still, a very creative kids’ movie done right. Bonus: I never once was lectured to by leftists, and the movie was not emotionally manipulative.

Absolutely loved this movie as a 43 year old dude. Yes, the tone is kinda of all over the place but it felt organic given the material. The performances are fantastic, especially Cailey Fleming. It was fun, heartwarming, and incredibly moving. Critics are just straight up wrong about this movie. They probably just gave it bad reviews because there wasn't enough woke agenda pushed toward children.

Ive never had an imaginary friend but always thought of them as humans ie drop dead Fred, not a bubble or a glass of water! My 9 year old said they were board at exactly rhe 1 hour mark, and I fell asleep towards the end, which I never do during films. I think it should have picked a lane a stuck to it as in giving the ifs a bigger role and making it more wacky and funny and less of the emotional stuff so kids would enjoy it more, or make the ifs more realistic( losing the kid market) and make it more of a drama/fantasy movie for adults

looks really good I'll definitely check it out when i get the chance its sad to see nowadays that we really dont get many big budget family films like this released theatrical anymore akin to the abundance of classic family films released in the 80s 90s and early 2000s and if we do get them its extremely rare this looks like it has that perfect combination of family fun hijinks and heartfelt drama with that magical sense of awe and wonder in the mix i think the only other films in recent years i can think of that fits that description and has those qualities is Paddington 1 & 2 Clifford the big red dog and wonka

@MattaTron1000 Ай бұрын

I absolutely loved this movie. I felt the childlike wonder of movies I grew up with such as Hook with Robin Williams and as you mentioned E.T. I felt the magic as “IF” haha puns. Anyway as if I would have watched it as a kid. Also felt the adult side of the story. This film explores things I often thought about growing up and losing what was special to me as a kid. Then look at what is special now. I cried so many times throughout even at moments I wasn’t supposed to. Ryan Reynolds even said he felt it was a live action Pixar movie. Also not to get too personal. But with the opening of how the girl was close to her mother and lost her at a young age. Connected me with my mom and how I lost her when I was 15. So many different emotions into this more than I thought based on the trailers. The music was great I absolutely loved the scene where Ryan is being sent through a torture of imagination scenes without trying to spoil it. I could see where it was kinda going but overall still surprised me and the emotional level of it all was perfect for me. So wonderful!❤

Studios are pulling their hair out the movie business is such a puzzle who knows what makes people see a movie? A Cinemascore but 50% critics score. But at the end of the day 35 million opening. So not good not great but definitely not "feels like summer". I dare say that Rottentomatoes is broken. There are too many bad faith, obscure, NOBODY knows their name critics in this world who get to write for RT trying to get clout. The problem with that is, a lot of people refuse to pay movie theater prices for 50% RT. When its actually more like you said should be an 80% RT. I think in the 1990s say, maybe yes, more nerds should have been able to do reviews. Critics of the day were too stodgy and saying nonsense like random foreign film greater than Jurassic Park. Now that its 2024 though, nerds are the ones ruining the movie industry with all the various bad reviews, stinky mean and nasty attitudes and identity politics. Nerd Critics see a kids movie as an excuse to hate that something was actually not made for them. Roger Ebert went to a kids movie with EMPATHY. Remember empathy, putting yourself into a kids shoes? Kids who give A Cinemascore? They say.. don't make a movie for ME? Bad review! Also what IS a good movie to nerds now? Certainly ain't nerdy movies, certainly not indie movies or originals and certainly gonna complain if there are too many "sequels and remakes". Its time to purge RT, back down to newspapers and youtubers with over 200K subs. Thats it. Or the industry we all know and love could be dead.

That dance scene on the stage with the Imaginary Friends characters that scene was out there, insane, & crazy did not fit the film for me felt like a deleted scene to me... While Cailey Fleming was great in the role I just thought she was miscast... Terrible film will not recommend to anybody...
