Directed by Zach Helm

Starring Jason Bateman, Dustin Hoffman, Natalie Portman, Ted Ludzik, Zach Mills

The eccentric owner of a magical toy store surprises the shop's manager by turning over ownership to her in a warm-hearted comedy fantasy directed by Zach Helm and starring Jason Bateman, Dustin Hoffman, and Natalie Portman. Portman plays the manager of the store that seems to be a reflection of the people who run it, and Bateman stars as the detail-oriented accountant assigned the task of assessing the establishment's monetary value. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

"I felt like this film wanted to be the happier version of "A Series of Unfortunate Events" - there's "chapters" and loads of narration, tons of quirky characters and plenty of computer generated FX to possibly keep young tykes quiet for a little over an hour, but I don't know if that's necessarily a good thing. It's a charming little movie, but the actors are using broad strokes to get their point across (as in Portman's imaginary piano that's she' " [More]

"This movie is actually what inspired me to write movie reviews in my blog. I opened a newspaper and read the review which gave this film one star out of five and had the title as Mr. Magorium's Magic Emporium. I mean if you're going to rate films at least get the damn title right. Anyway, I really enjoyed this movie. And it's not just for kids. I love imagination and creativity and if you " [More]
