It's a grab bag of themes and sci-fi aspirations that elicit a majestic sense of "huh?" rather than awe."   OhmyNews.com   Brian Orndorf C- "Lumpy and misshapen like a dilapidated stuffed animal, The Last Mimzy is a kids movie that wants to be this generation's E.T. but doesn't know how to get there."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Unlike E.T., Mimzy isn't wrinkly or strange or even very mobile, nothing that might frighten the All-American youngsters who discover her on a beach near Seattle."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1/5 "This is an ill-conceived disaster from top to bottom."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "A tad unorthodox in today's times of fast and furious entertainment for kids, but those who take a chance on it will be pleasantly satiated."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman 2.5/4 "As the film builds to its nail-biting conclusion, the children will have connected with the War on Terror and foreign philosophical belief systems in the interest of mankind's salvation."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez B "There are weak spots in the story, but it's such a fun story, and there's so much warmth in the characters' relationships with one another, that it hardly matters."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B+ "With The Last Mimzy coming on the heels of Bridge to Terabithia, I am tempted to declare that we are witnessing nothing less than a family film renaissance."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 3/4 "I like to refer to it as "Donnie Darko" sans the violence if aimed towards kids..."   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr. 2/4 "The Last Mimzy falls short of its expectations to grasp the aura of an escapist kiddie flick that distinctively startles and probes."   TheWorldJournal.com   Frank Ochieng C- "A New Age version of E.T....more fuzzy-headed and inarticulate than the title's stuffed bunny."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "A wonderful sci-fi tale that proclaims that the emotions, compassion, and wonder of children may hold the key to the survival of future generations."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "The movie's poor focus and scattershot approach, while not without its charms, represents the kind of product that may divert children but will likely puzzle adults with its inconsistency."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "Slight."   Sci-Fi Movie Page   James O'Ehley 5/10 "...tries hard to be magical, charming, and endearing but remains mostly flat and lifeless."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "The Last Mimzy is that phenomenon as welcome as the first robin of spring, a kids' movie that is more than bearable for adults."   Film.com   Jonathan F. Richards "Please enjoy this with your family and consider renting this when it comes out."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 2.5/4.0 "At last! A feel-good geek film designed especially for 5th-grade conservationist Mensa students!"   MovieCrypt.com   Kevin A. Ranson 3/5 "the farther you get from age 13, the more the film will lose appeal"   Film School Rejects   Kevin Carr 3/4 "A fun confection of science-fiction and Eastern religious concepts wrapped into a children's film that could just as easily pass as a stoner movie."   Mark Reviews Movies   Mark Dujsik D+ "The Last Mimzy's flight of fantasy sputters as the story's potential fails to reach any magical points."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer 6/10 "This film should be enjoyable enough for children, but will perhaps be not quite enough to enthuse their parents"   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper "Sweet, smart, and tender: you can’t say that about too many science-fiction movies."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson B "The film wisely does not try to wow the CGI-savvy audience with its special effects, keeping them low-key enough to feel enticingly possible."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow B "A rare film told from a child's point of view that treats children with respect."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "The film incorporates many beliefs and in its concern for the human condition makes a case for the past and present providing lessons the future can learn in a way that is reassuring, humane, thought-provoking and entertaining."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 3.5/5 "many parents in the audience will identify"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 7/10 "With its spiritual and metaphysical message, this fun-filled family entertainment goes far beyond whimsy."   www.susangranger.com   Susan Granger 3/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito  (1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 62% Fresh Page   1
