Exploring: Imagine That
Imagine That is about A financial executive, who can’t stop his career downspiral, is invited into his daughter’s imaginary world. While in it he finds the solutions to his problems.
I like the idea of having a movie that would celebrate the imagination and it's value in our busy modern society. That is why I love speculative fiction so much. It allows me to look at a situation and ask what if. Beyond that it allows me to put a difficult to approach situation / topic into a new context, one that is detached from myself so that I can approach it and think it through. Imagine That appears to be a movie that is demonstrating this idea within a fantasy context.
Though I really like the premise and have hopes that the movie could show the value of celebrating our imagination, just relaxing and being silly when appropriate I also have concerns that it will focus too much on the silly, grotesque, and bathroom humor. I love all three of these things but like my love for chocolate, too many candy bars only serves to make me sick.
Imagine That is a renter for me. Eddie Murphy and Martin Sheen have a hit and miss track record with movies and the trailers just didn't motivate me enough to want to rush out and see it.
