Mr Magoriums Wonder Emporium.
hmmm ... uneven at best.
Mostly a pretty bland film with a few flashes of well written poignant dialogue shining through - but those moments were too few and far between to save this film.
it tried to be a far more important film than it was and failed.
the focus was all over the place - whenever there was something important to be explored - it would shoot off on another direction.
a better filmmaker/writer could have turned this into far more than a Charlie and the chocolate factory wannabe.
was put off by the music and the opening title sequence as well.
