The critics got this one 100% wrong. It’s a great movie. It’s fun, it’s witty, it’s emotional, the entire cast did a phenomenal job.

[myMonicker]

I saw it tonight with my kids, agreed they seemed checked out for the first portion. But by the end they liked it and we had thoughtful conversations that don’t come out of the LEGO movie or the Mario movie.

I think this movie will also only resonate with a certain audience. Not sure how to pinpoint it: losing a parent too early, being a parent yourself, having some “growing up too fast” moments in general. I’ve had all of that and really appreciated the experience overall.

[curt]

The amazing score by Michael Giacchino really brings out the emotion.

[nickromero]

THIS MOVIE... I agree it starts slow but over all THIS is why you watch movies. It has so much heart. I loved it! I can't recommend it enough. Bring tissue!

[AMIN_mash]

I think calling the film “IF” was not a great choice since it’s harder to market. Should have literally just been “Imaginary Friends”. Would have been more clear

[imloco]

Loved the movie. It’s really fun and sweet and heartfelt. Had tears streaming in the best possible way.

[trackgirl]

This movie is kinda creepy. Why on earth does a 12 yr old roam the streets with a grown man. Also why is her dad being treated in a childrens hospital?

[nathanstrimpel]

I just got out of the theater from watching it. The whole movie I kept thinking “WHY is this 12 year old girl wandering New York at night alone?” 😂a pretty good movie tho, I just wish her grandma was more responsible watching her lol

[arnoldperez]

Saw it this past Friday and I have to say I am in the middle from you loving it to others not so much. I thought the emotional moment absolutely nailed it out of the park but the rest of the movie had me scratching my head as it really seems like the movie was making up the rules as they went along. And the twist at the end was nice but the more I thought bout that the more it falls under me scratching my head. But that being said I’d watch this movie again with my family bc it’s something we’d enjoy

This movie was so sweet. It's not a great movie but it is very decent and endearing.

[airforcex]

The message is bizarre. A girl with two loving parents needs an imaginary friend why exactly? (The IF was around before her mom died) And the imaginary friend has the same personality as her living dad???

[jmmarimon]

Seriously???
Nobody thinks that this show has a little bit of a conflict of interest with things related to Ryan Reynolds?
This show should be more professional and avoid engaging in R. Reynolds topics.

[LoganScottY]

I just watched the film and my god.... what an incredible example of why you just can't trust critics. This movie FLOORED me.

[namona]

This was a great movie. I agree with Campea here.

[jacobbaranowski]

live action Pixar movie with a grate cast

[LindaMWynne]

I really enjoyed the movie. I felt that at times, it was slow. I cried at the end and really related to the 12 year old girl. I loved the imaginary friends. I loved the glow scenes. This is one worth watching. I'm a senior, and I'm not sure how children will enjoy this movie. 😊

[Dodgerguy]

I'm with you John, i loved IF as well, i even shed a few tears.

[lynneseller]

I totally agree about the timing being off.The beginning was definitely too slow. After watching it yesterday, it's still growing on me.I need to watch it again I think as it's a slow burner as far as I'm concerned 😊

[TheKratos]

I saw the critic reviews on thst idiotic rt site, and yea, i dont get the critics at all. i really liked this movie

[bhusar]

I had a delightful time with this. I was crying with this movie. I can't believe the critical hate this is getting.
