Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium review by Steve Oatney —
Magorium was delightful! A pleasing romp following a magical toy store’s inhabitants, a wonderful reminiscence taking me back to the feelings I had watching Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as a child.
Director Zach Helm brought out the child in me, and pulled at my heart strings, affecting me as all great movies should, making me forget I was watching actors in front of a camera.
Dustin Hoffman as Mr. Edward Magorium, “Avid Shoe-Wearer” (owner of the toy store) was, in my opinion, every bit as delightful as Gene Wilder in Wonka. Natalie Portman as Molly Mahoney (manager of the toy store) and Zach Mills as Eric Applebaum, “the Hat Collector“ were both marvelous to watch. Jason Bateman played an accountant name Henry Weston, “the Mutant“ who, of course, does not believe in magic, and also did a great job with his role. The special effects in the film were terrific, but were entirely secondary to the story and character developments, just as FX should be.
The moral of the story was not that we should believe in magic, but instead that we should believe in ourselves. That is a moral, I can get behind. Kids, and kids-at-heart, should catch this movie. I think you’ll like it.
