Just a quick note to say that my wife and I watched Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium this evening and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone who says that a purely innocent and fun movie can not be made anymore has not seen this movie and is a cynic anyway.
Although the movie does have a message (and a fairly deep one at that), it still makes with the light-heartedness, gentle humor and, as the title indicates, wonder that kept us smiling through the entire film. I had never heard of the movie until we picked it up on DVD, and I have no idea how it did in the theaters, but I am beyond glad I watched it. It really reminded me that not all good movies need to be PG-13 or R-rated, have a hard, driving story-line or require sex and violence to be entertaining and worthwhile.
Although we just rented the DVD, we may just have to pick up our own copy. It's that worthwhile.
