Others say...
"Poignant, Funny & Heartwarming Story. However..." The directorial debut of a man whose name I don't remember is funny, charming, heartwarming and poignant all in one. Starring Academy Award winner Dustin Hoffman (Best Actor, "Rain Man") and Natalie Portman (the "STAR WARS" prequels), the film begins very well, establishing that Molly Mahoney (Natalie Portman) is the narrator's only friend. I enjoyed the all-too brief scene when they hug. However, once the movie made a point of the narrator making friends with "The Mutant," I thought, "Oh, gross. WHY DO THEY HAVE TO INCLUDE A MALE CHARACTER BEFRIENDING A BOY? UGH." I HATED the scene where Molly is a bit rude to the boy later in the movie (idiot screenwriter). Also that their relationship stalled out after that. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. Rated G.
"Mr Magorium's Wonder Emporium" I was disappointed in this. Especially to star Dustin Hoffman and Natalie Porter. It is fair, but not all that much of a story line.
"hoffman is awful" I commented on another review saying that this movie was "awful, awful, awful" but after thinking a bit, I see that it isn't the movie that is awful, it is Hoffman. I have seen him in movies that I liked--Tootsie comes to mind--but Rainman soured me on him for good. Can't see him without hearing/seeing Raymond.
Magorium has a good script, plenty of funny stuff, and it has Natalie Portman, Jason Bateman, and Zach Mills. Any magic I felt was when Hoffman was not in the scene. With him in a scene, the magic goes thud.
"Esoteric, transcendental, spiritual fable" This movie has really grown on me. I liked it when I first saw it, but didn't really see it as the classic it appeared to want to be. But, as with many great movies, it is deceptively better than it first appears to be.
The movie deals with loss, grief, change, acceptance, and the continuity of life. These themes are not dealt with head-on...they are just woven into the plot, lightened up with a bit of verbal and visual froth, and there to contemplate by those who recognize them. But to a child watching the movie, it is just funny, silly, a little sad, and has a happy ending.
If there is a more overt lesson in the story for younger viewers, it is learned through the character of the little boy, Eric. Eric is a wonderful kid, and though we see other kids rejecting him, through Mr. Magorium, Mahoney, and Henry, we see just how terrific he really is. Savvy children will want Eric as their friend, realizing that the kids who reject him do so to their own detriment.
"A Must See (Over and Over Again!)" This movie is fantastically amazing. My one year old loves it, my four year old loves it, my fifteen year old loves it, my husband loves it, I love it, my mother loves it. It's great to watch again and again. The music is awesome, the story is great. All in all, one of my faves!

What our customer's say!
"Movie-Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium", Loved the movie! Awesome family movie! Was disappointed with shipping. The first DVD came to me damaged, and Amazon blamed it on the shipping. There was something else in the package that was not damaged and packed very well. I believe it was damaged before shipping which is a little disappointing. Amazon did get a new one to me by Christmas which was nice.
"EXCELLENT!!", This movie is absolutely fantasic! And the service getting it delivered to me was wonderful!
"Not the best", I'm usually quite a fan of Dustin Hoffman as well as most kids movies but I found this movie pretty boring and extremely silly even for a kids movie.
"Great!", This is a great family movie. We quite enjoy watching it and have seen it many times. It's fun and colorful and really gets your imagination going!
"Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium", This disc came to us in a timely manner, and in Used-good condition. We have had no problems with this disc. My husband and son have used it in different DVD players and it plays great. Thank you!

"Amazing that a film like this could be made today", The most magical thing about this film is that it was made. It is a movie that isn't about anything except the joys we all overlook. Yes there is death but that comes to us all, whether we are willing to admit it or not. But this had positive things to say about not only the end of stories but about how sometimes the begins are much more dificult than those ends. It was lovely and kind and pleasant in an innocent way that I haven't seen on the screen in a very very long time. There was no meanness or anger or sarcasm, just a joy in a pair of journeys, one ending and one begining. This film will move people who want to be moved, to find those parts of ourselves we as adults have worked so hard to lose.
"Fabulous movie for kids!", When this movie was in theatres I read the reviews and they were horrible...we decided to skip it. My daughter (5 years old) wanted to rent it the other day - and after watching it consistently over two weeks (we had late fees!), we'll be buying it. She absolutely loves it! Both my husband and I found it very charming. While adults who are looking for an intelligent adult movie may say disparaging things about it, if you view it through the eyes of a child, it is truly magical! It deals with life, death and self-worth/ esteem in a beautifully sensitive manner, easily understandable by young children. I think it's a great movie for kids under 13 or 14 :)
"Whimsical fantasy.", Wow! would you look at Dustin Hoffman. A pretty good young persons movie, and not bad for an adult either. Typical as the genre goes - something like, but nothing like Willie of Wonker fame. Hoffman so reminds me of a 40's comedian whose name I just can't come up with. This movie is filled with wondrous things, crazy things, and a pretty good story too. A good ending. I liked it. The kids are sure to as well, however, it's not magical like say, "Potter" is, and with toned down graphics. Closer to 3 stars.
"Heart-warming", I thought this movie was touching and heart-warming and funny. My grandson loved it. I highly recommend for family viewing.
"Grows on you", This is not a movie for those who expect the world to be complex and sensible. With a title that rhymes like that, what would you expect beside the magical sweetness that just happens to be accepted by the world? I was quickly drawn in by this storybook world where the bizarre and quirky is just a way of life and no one thinks much more of it. Throw in a beautiful message of finding yourself, and I was pleasantly engrossed in this heartfelt tale.
Mr. Magorium is a very old inventor (several centuries) who has not only helped a few famous souls out there but has managed to create a magical toy store. However, he feels it is time to pass from this world. It seems to be pretty much his decision and he seems perfectly fine with it, and I found that to be an interesting look at death.
However, the store's manager Molly is a young woman who still hasn't quite figured out her place in the world. It's pretty shocking to her to learn that her beloved boss plans to die and leave her in charge when she has no idea who she is and only has a hat-collecting boy with no friends his own age and a workaholic accountant as her only companions.
Mr. Magorium is positive she'll do fine, with a little encouragement, and thus pours out a sweet story about finding the best in yourself.
It wasn't what I expected, and that's not a bad thing, especially when I realized the plot was deeper than a toy store romp.
I don't think the characters other than Mr. Magorium were as realized as they could have been, but they were still a far cry from two-dimensional bimbos and it did leave room for some proper growth.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised at the story's charming simplicity and message. Nothing wildly exceptional, but it held its own in the way of family movies.
