(1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 6% Rotten Page   1   1.5/4 "Eddie Murphy has seen worse hours (Meet Dave and Norbit are far more catastrophic), but his shtick in Imagine That wears thin pretty fast."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   A. J. Hakari .5/5 "[Murphy] continues to treat his career like it were a game of limbo, as Imagine That sees the once gifted comedian stoop to a horrendous new low."   Cut Print Review   Anders Wotzke 1.5/5 "within this otherwise formulaic family film are elements so atrocious that they remove any heart Murphy manages to mine."   Filmcritic.com   Bill Gibron D+ "At this point, there's no room left on Murphy's career coffin for another nail, so consider Imagine That the first shovelful of dirt."   BrianOrndorf.com   Brian Orndorf "Why anyone imagines children want to see Eddie Murphy's internal struggle may be the first question posed by Imagine That, but it's hardly the last"   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1.5/5 "When a children's movie like 'Imagine That' fails, it's tragedy that the magic spells in the move can't be used to escape the theater."   eFilmCritic.com   Dan Lybarger 1.5/4 "Isn't so much offensively bad as it is offensively, soul-suckingly ordinary. It is safe to say the young ones will be far from riveted by a film set in the world of investment firms and financial bigwigs."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman C+ "An innocuous father-daughter movie--sweet and inoffensive--and...a distinct improvement on Murphy's recent efforts. But...it's just okay, not the enchanting treat it's meant to be."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/4 "I laughed once during Imagine That's interminable 107 minutes, and the longer I watched Murphy's desperate, embarrassing attempts at provoking laughter, the worse I felt."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 1.5/5 "no amount of poop jokes are going to make the world of investments interesting to children, and sadly, that is the focus of the majority of scenes in the first 45 minutes"   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr "[O]ddly underpowered, disappointingly scattershot... [A] blandly tedious workplace 'comedy'..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 2/4 "Twenty years ago it would've been hard to imagine that the typical formula for an Eddie Murphy vehicle would have changed so dramatically."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina B- "Murphy limits himself to just one role and seems to enjoy portraying the straight-laced but superbly professional Danielson and allowing him to thaw without overdoing it."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 2/5 "Yet another example of a movie that's had all the life sucked out of it by the Hollywood studio system. In the end it isn't very funny, clever or engaging."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 5/10 "It's disappointing that it's only mildly amusing."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 16) of 16 OFCS Rating: 6% Rotten Page   1
