Plot: After discovering she can see everyone’s imaginary friends, a girl embarks on a magical adventure to reconnect forgotten IFs with their kids.
This movie was Okay.
Pros: Ryan Reynolds was fun. I like and admire how John Krasinski using his imagination for the creation of this film’s premise. I like the main girl Cailey Fleming. The movie reminds me a lot like that Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends TV Show. Seeing all the different creatures looked quite good and it made me go into tears at times.
Cons: I wis there was more interactions between both Imaginary creatures and their former friends before seeing each other. Ryan Reynolds didn’t impressed a lot in my opinion and most to all the Imaginary creatures didn’t get developed a bit more.
