Imagine That | Review
Eddie Murphy has been off his A-game in ‘comedy’ lately. The past few movies he’s been in have been flops, sucky films, and/or not funny (kind of like Will Ferrel). Well, I was skeptical of ‘Imagine That’ and thought that I would die from watching a movie that had bad reviews. After seeing the movie, however, I actually enjoyed the movie a little. The actor that portrays Murphy’s daughter is a natural and her character has cute moments. ‘Imagine That’ doesn’t really have any ‘laugh-out-loud moments’; it’s funny sometimes, but not a ‘bursting with laughter’ kind of funny. I actually read a review that said that ‘Meet Dave’, which was the last Eddie Murphy film (and was also a big flop), had more laughs than ‘Imagine That.’ While watching this movie it started to remind me of a kids movie that Eddie Murphy was in a few years ago, called ‘Daddy Day Care.’ I liked ‘Daddy Day Care’ a lot more than ‘Imagine That’ (I don’t know if it’s because I was younger back then), but I still wouldn’t say that ‘Imagine That’ is a horrible movie. It’s an ‘okay’ movie; not too good, but not too bad.
