By no means a landmark, but it is a remarkably pleasant surprise -- so few movies aimed for the whole family show an understanding of why it's actually healthy to pretend.

Mr. Murphy rises to every occasion, not only with the crisp wit that has long been his hallmark, but with restraint and tenderness that serve him well.
67
All in all, Imagine That is an amiable detour from its star's usual scatological skronk. Kids will empathize, parents will breathe a sigh of relief.
63
Amusing without ever being break-out funny.
58
There's something sweet about the way that Murphy throws himself into this piffle. Thomas Haden Church does too.
50
An Eddie Murphy comedy that's actually endearing.
25
Though he commits to a lot of embarrassing silliness, Murphy projects so little genuine warmth that his transformation barely registers.

A fun family movie that will have you laughing until the end, while the story and the lesson being taught are predictable, it's the humor that sets it apart, while it may not do much new it's still an enjoyable movie for the family.

Imagine That is simply a nice kids film. A bit of a modern fairy tale, Imagine that isn't bad nor great. A decent kids film with a few laughs and not really very memorable. Murphy does well and overall its cute fun.
