May 21, 2009A brother and sister start to display mysterious skills after finding some magic toys.

September 5, 2008This is pretty good for a family film, not quite as much action as I weas expecting, but it has a good story line and and a fine cast. The children especially act very well for their age. Overall good family fun if not quite a classic.

To my friends here: i watched this movie this morning over coffee...and was quite unexpectedly delighted!! I dedicate this review to Ginger Renee one of our closest friends who just died suddenly....her heart failed. Ginger always had a little bit of a Mimzy about her...and she will be missed... -
September 21, 2007It was definately a cute movie with a good overall type message-- however.. if the doll could talk to her, and all the doll needed was a tear... then why the heck didn't the doll just say "Hey, I'm here, I need a tear."

July 16, 2007This was an adorable movie with a storyline that was easy to follow, but also not boring at all it kept you interested. There were parts that kinda dragged, but all in all an excellent family film. It reminded me of ET meets Contact.
