Great easter treat for kids...and less calories than an egg !
This is a really good film to sit and watch with the kids, as it will entertain them and keep you happy enough as well. Has a slightly easter bias (Mimsy happens to be a - way too cute - stuffed wabbit !) so is ideal to watch with the young 'uns around the easter holidays, (though if it isn't easter you will still enjoy this anyway). has enough to keep the young (and not so young) entertained. Recommended.

Michael OrdonaBeing a "family film" may excuse many faults, considering the intended audience, but it's hard to think of a recent movie that has more determinedly married the engaging with the banal. In this genre the only important questions are, "Will the kids like it?" and "Is it good for them?" To which the answers to Mimzy's mysteries are "maybe" and "sort of." Adults are left to fend for themselves.
Among the sci-fi fantasy's interesting ideas: scientific interpretations of ancient Tibetan mandalas and "Through the Looking-Glass." Among those not-so-interesting ideas: a tepid critique of modern disconnection ??? on a bus ride, the passengers all wear iPods or bury their noses in laptops ??? and that love is the answer.

Last Mimzy, The
Claudia PuigThe Last Mimzy (* * out of four) is disturbingly reminiscent of E.T., with about half the charm. Though the visual effects are sometimes stunning and the young actors, particularly precocious Rhiannon Leigh Wryn, are endearing, the film feels as if it's trying to force a sense of wonder and awe upon its youthful audience, rather than simply letting an intriguing story unfold naturally.
The film is based on a short story by Lewis Padgett about a sister and brother (Wryn and Chris O'Neil) who stumble upon a mysterious box on the beach that changes their lives. Rainn Wilson, so funny as the smarmy sycophant in The Office, is inadvertently comic in this role, thanks to his caricatured part as a New Age-y science teacher.

Last Mimzy, The
Inexperienced Line Cinema co-founder and co-chairman Bob is fine known representing referring to anyone in the production who gets out of line as smoking "the Hollywood crack whistle". After watching The Last Mimzy, Shaye's first integument as boss since 1990's Log Of Romance, you have to wonder if he's been at it himself. A modernised adjustment of the 1943 Lewis Padgett plot outline 'Mimsy Were The Borogroves', this eco-agreeable children's adventure looks like it's been made by a man who lived from stem to stern the San Francisco acid roller. Circle in Seattle, the video focuses on the unexceptional Wilder family, headed via Jo (Richardson) and David (Hutton). A clinch unit, all this changes when young Noah (O'Neil) is playing at the bank complete day with ...
