However, when Molly, a former composer and pianist, has doubts about taking over the (literally) magical store, and an uptight accountant (Jason Bateman) appears to assess the establishment, the many inhabitants of the Wonder Emporium begin to rebel, resulting in a chaotic situation that can be fixed only with the help of a shy, lonely boy (Zach Mills).

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium - Magically appropriate for kids and 'tweens. It's a Hollywood miracle!

Date of Review:  Nov 21, 2007
The Bottom Line: The bottom line would love to play some dodgeball at Mr. Magorium's.
Review: It isn't easy being the little sister. It really isn't. Not being quite ready for the stuff the older kids are watching, but trying to fake it because you so desperately want to grow up, being scared – really scared – by movies but sitting through...

A Poor Attempt At Williy Wonka Type Fun

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 2007
The Bottom Line: This movie would be ideal if nothing better is playing. (Go see Fred Clause, instead).
Review: Looking at the advertisements for Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, you get the idea that you are in for great fun. I can't really dispute that this movie had some fun scenes, but overall, it lacked more than it delivered.

This looked like a...

It's a wonder Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium wasn't better

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: Not the worst movie in the world -- but it coulda, shoulda been better
Review: One thing about the summer movie theatre series at our local theatre is films that were first shown to almost empty theatres are now shown to a full house. That was the case with Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium. There were at least three day cares...
