It has a couple good chuckles, and some entertaining moments- but ultimately- Imagine That is too much of a bizarre fever dream to have any true enjoyment out of. First off, lets just talk about the acting in this film, or really the lack of- what the hell happened with this movie? You had comedic superstar Eddie Murphy, along with his former 48 Hrs co-star Thomas Haden Church, and freaking Martin Sheen (not that he hasn't starred in worse to be honest, but still). Every single performance is incredibly over the top, cringeworthy to watch, and just embarrassing. It honestly made me wonder how Murphy still had a few years left on him to make these kinda films! I honestly wonder what the writers were thinking making this movie too. Oh it's about a girl with a magic blanket, seems cool! Actually the dad is the main character! Okay kinda weird, but maybe it's exciting and the two have a good bond! Nope the first excruciatingly long 30 MINUTES of this film is a depressing tale of a father who doesn't know how to take care of his kid. Okay well, maybe the blanket does something cool, you said it was magic? Yes, it can predict the stock market! How interesting for the 6 year olds in the audience!!I...I don't know even where to begin, not to mention (and I really hate to say this) the way Murphy is being portrayed in the latter half of the movie before his big deal trying to get the magic blanket gives off some major pedophile vibes- which is an alarming and misguided subtext for a kids movie whether it was intentional or not. I did laugh at a few jokes, but it was hardly enough to cover up this films sorry excuse for a plot let alone its execution of it (also forgot to mention all the Native American things Church's character presents and it does NOT age well) In the end, this film is a spectacular mess. That's all I can honestly say.
My Rating: 2/10.
