Editorial Review: Description: When Noah and Emma Wilder discover a special box on the beach, they open it and unlock an exciting adventure beyond imagination. Inside they find Mimzy, a magical stuffed rabbit along with other mystical toys, which give the children exceptional powers of their own. Able to move objects with their minds and to solve complex equations, these new wonder kids begin to attract the attention of their parents, teachers... and even the FBI. Surrounding the phenomenon of Mimzy is an awesome secret ¿ one that holds the key to saving the future of all mankind. Amazon.com: Comparisons with E.T. are inevitable, but the more modest The Last Mimzy is based on the classic short story "Mimzy Were the Borogoves," by Lewis Padgett (a pseudonym for husband-and-wife writing team Henry Kuttner and C.L. Moore), that anticipated Steven Spielberg's extraterrestrial fantasy by nearly four decades. Chris O'Neil and Rhiannon Leigh Wryn give winning, naturalistic performances as siblings Noah and Emma, whose lives are transformed by a box of mysterious objects they find on the beach outside the family's Seattle vacation home. Among its contents is a stuffed rabbit that Emma names Mimzy and becomes quite attached. Noah and Emma are your typical outsiders. He is not good at sports, and she is interested in astronomy and plays the violin. But the objects work wonders on them. Their brainpower increases exponentially, Noah is able to drive a golf ball hundreds of yards, and Emma begins to communicate telepathically with Mimzy, who reveals his true identity and purpose. Rainn Wilson of The Office displays an off-center charm as Mr. White, Noah's New Age-y science teacher, who discovers similarities between Noah's intricate notebook doodlings and ancient renderings of the universe ("This is so out of my league," he marvels at one point), and becomes involved in Mimzy's back-to-the-future quest. Timothy Hutton and Joely Richardson are solid as the understandably confounded and increasingly concerned parents. Michael Clarke Duncan is a menacing FBI agent who, invoking the Patriot Act, arrests the family after Noah inadvertently causes a citywide blackout with one of the futuristic objects. The Last Mimzy may not reach E.T.'s spectacular heights, but as thoughtfully adapted for the screen by Bruce Joel Rubin (Ghost) and Toby Emmerich (Frequency), it is a transporting, idea-rich family film that is free of gratuitous coarse language (save for Mr. White's offhand classroom use of the word "screw") or bathroom humor. --Donald Liebenson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Beautiful, Entertaining; Superbly Done Plot and Characters AND With an Ominous Message of Our Responsibilities to the FutureA remarkbale and refreshing effort with a near perfect job by cast, crew, directors and producers. A beautifully done plot builds excitement as the mysterious "toys" which wash up on shore have a dramatic effect on the young brother and sister that find them. The message imparted to Emma, the young girl who becomes enamored of her stuffed rabbit "Mimzy" eventually involves conflict with the Dept. of Homeland Security as the family and the girl are swept up in a drama with the most profound consequences ...

Rating:  - way to ruin a perfectly good short storyWay to ruin a perfectly good short story with every harmful Hollywood meme and stupid cliché. Rating: - Great Family MovieThis is movie is a family movie. It had something for everyone. I highly recommend. Rhiannon Leigh Wryn, Emma stole the show. A must see. Rating: - A New Age E.T.It's almost impossible to find a good live-action family film that captures magic anymore. From the utterly boring "Water Horse" or the laundry list of fantasy film clones that come out each year. This movie on the other hand is different from the rest. Words like "Clone" and "Boring" don't belong anywhere near this movie. Instead, words like "Original," "Captivating," "Cute," and "Weird" are used. Now, how many family films come anything close to original nowadays? If you're tired of the standard fare, or ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
