Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is a delightful and gentle movie for a family. It will touch a few hearts. The story follows a small cast characters and how their lives come together and change each other for the better. | | | | Reply | | |

The movie started off with a bang and end with a whimper. Dull script and acting. It was so boring. | | | | Reply | | |

This was so terrible. Dull and dopey script, and Dustin Hoffman is unbearable. I fell asleep after a while. | | | | Reply | | |

I loved this movie from beginning to end. I also loved the little sock monkey. Dustin does a convincing job here. | | | | Reply | | |

This was a really poorly made movie. It was badly written, over acted and terribly put together. | | | | Reply | | |

This is nice family movie. There is love, lots of love, pure love. The kind of love you feel when you're a child, and your mind has not yet been bogged down with the soul-crushing stress of adult responsibility. | | | | Reply | | |
