Mr Magoruim's Magic Emporium


Saw this with the husband, the Sith Lord and his young apprentice today.


It was definitely one for the kids. Mr Magoruim (Dustin Hoffman) is the keeper of a magical toy store and has decided that, given he is going to die, he is giving the store to Molly Mahoney (Natalie Portman). He hires an accountant - referred to in the movie as an Accounmutant then shortened to mutant (very funny) to sort out his affairs. Mutant is played by Jason Bateman, who does this kind of role very well. There is a small child, who I didn't really get, played by Zachary Mills. The sets were fantastic.


The reviews.


The Sith Lord said: It was good. The best part was when the cube was flying.


The apprentice said; The movie was alright but didn't like when the man was leaving. It was a bit sad.


Their parents thought that it was pleasant enough but Natalie Portman should never, ever dance again. Oh, and I think that she had the best orthodontist in the universe.


The rating.


Rent it if you have kids...or are high.

or are high

Much like The Wizard of Oz then.

Shorter, no singing and I don't think this will make Natalie Portman a gay icon.

God, you are soooooo literal.
