This movie was every bit as goofy and fun and happy as I remembered it being, but watching it as an adult brought it to another level, and any adult who says otherwise... well they may have missed the point.
Magic is all around us, and there are so many little things to find joy in, like a lovely pair of shoes you found in Tuscany. This is what Mr. Magorium saw, and that's how he lived a fulfilling life. As we grow up we so often become more like The Mutant, caught up in work and seeing things to be just what they are and nothing more, when people criticize this movie that is the life they are living, they're 'just' guys, as Mahoney says. Kids see magic in everything, and maybe if adults did too we would be happier.
Kids will certainly enjoy it, and if the adults can set aside preconceived notions of what being an adult has to mean, they can enjoy it too.
Please watch this movie.
