    We so rarely get bad movies like IF these days, when Hollywood’s main impulse is not to create art but to prolong and protect the value of intellectual property at all cost. Most blockbusters are focus-grouped and test-marketed until every last shred of quirky personality has been drained out of them. They are coldly targeted at the maximum number of possible viewers. IF, on the other hand, is a movie with no obvious audience; it’s too slow and depressing for children and too maudlin and cutesy for adults. It loudly yells at audiences they need to have some fun, while not actually providing any fun itself. It harkens back to another time, when a big-name director could bank on himself and get an original idea into theaters, no matter how murkily thought through it was. I did not enjoy it, but I can imagine a world where more films made in its spirit exist. Full review at ScreenCrush.

    This movie has a large cast and it was really fun trying to guess who voiced each character.

    To be honest I think this movie will only be enjoyable to those who had imaginary friends when they were kids and grew up to forget them but still hold them close to their heart as something that helped them get through bad times. I had like 7 imaginary friends when I was a little above the age to be having them (11-12) and that was due to a lot of problems that were happening externally and the concept of…

    La idea está guay, la ejecución no tanto, es como si un sordomudo hubiese expresado sus ideas escribiendo el guión y luego unos dibujantes de Pixar le hubiesen ejecutado la idea.

    Doesn’t overall excel quite as it does in short bursts, but when it does, it got me crying over a man having anxiety over talking in a board room meeting. Anyway, neat visuals and a good, but overall disserviced message… but why didn’t my imaginary friend turn out to be Ryan Reynolds?

    they just turn into tyler durden when you grow up p.s. actually, imagining that she was talking to herself the whole time is fk scary

    It was a great movie! Kind of a rough start, but you could tell this is John Krasinski’s passion project. The main actress definitely has a future in acting.

    Much better than I expected to be honest. I like it. Though it’s really weird until it clicks into place and makes sense. But it was good. We could all use more whimsy in our lives. Also Michael Giacchino is a G.
