The parents and teacher of a pair of siblings notice the children are developing amazing abilities--terrifying and wonderful--following their discovery of a box of strange toys, sent from the future.
Great easter treat for kids...and less calories than an egg !
This is a really good film to sit and watch with the kids, as it will entertain them and keep you happy enough as well. Has a slightly easter bias (Mimsy happens to be a - way too cute - stuffed wabbit !) so is ideal to watch with the young 'uns around the easter holidays, (though if it isn't easter you will still enjoy this anyway). has enough to keep the young (and not so young) entertained. Recommended.
Being a "family film" may excuse many faults, considering the intended audience, but it's hard to think of a recent movie that has more determinedly married the engaging with the banal. In this genre the only important questions are, "Will the kids like it?" and "Is it good for them?" To which the answers to Mimzy's mysteries are "maybe" and "sort of." Adults are left to fend for themselves.

The Last Mimzy (* * out of four) is disturbingly reminiscent of E.T., with about half the charm.

The film is based on a short story by Lewis Padgett about a sister and brother (Wryn and Chris O'Neil) who stumble upon a mysterious box on the beach that changes their lives. Rainn Wilson, so funny as the smarmy sycophant in The Office, is inadvertently comic in this role, t...

New Line Cinema co-founder and co-chairman Bob is well known for referring to anyone in the industry who gets out of line as smoking "the Hollywood crack pipe". After watching The Last Mimzy, Shaye's first film as director since 1990's Book Of Love, you have to wonder if he's been at it himself. A modernised adaptation of the 1943 Lewis Padgett story 'Mimsy Were The Borogroves', this eco-friendly children's adventure looks like it's been made by a man who lived through the San Francisco acid wave.
Set in Seattle, the film focuses on the ordinary Wilder family, headed by Jo (Richardson) and David (Hutton). A close unit, all this changes when young Noah (O'Neil) i...
