Despite a promising turn by newcomer Yara Shahidi, Imagine That is another pedestrian family comedy that squanders Eddie Murphy's comedic talents. Read critic reviews

Movie Info
Like many busy professionals, Evan Danielson (Eddie Murphy) is so focused on his career that quality time with his young daughter, Olivia (Yara Shahidi), has fallen by the wayside. When an important promotion is suddenly within reach, stressed-out Evan starts to fall apart while trying to fend off his company rival (Thomas Haden Church). But when little Olivia introduces him to the inhabitants of her imaginary land, Evan rediscovers his inner child and finds the answers to all his problems.

Feb 09, 2013Cute film, but it was so so. Of Murphy's family comedies, I liked Daddy Day Care and Dr. Doolittle much better than this one. In a weird way the film reminded me of movies like Liar Liar and Jersey Girl. The film is very predictable. I did like seeing the Beverly Hills Cop reunion here of Murphy and Ronny Cox. Thomas Haden Church was too over the top here.Sol C Super Reviewer

Mar 23, 2012[img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon13.gif[/img] Shahidi is an extremely promising young actress who i'm sure will blossom her career with great success however it seems to be going in the opposite direction for Murphy at the moment with the exception of returning to his roots in Tower Heist. On the other hand, from what i've seen this is Eddie Murphy's best family film. It's very formulaic and forgettable but the direction is good and the film like Murphy for once, has it's heart in the right place. It's not another Norbit or Daddy Day Care. It's better than that but it's not great either.Directors C Super Reviewer
