New York Times - The concept of MR. MAGORIUM'S WONDER EMPORIUM is ingenious
Consumer Advice
Contains one use of mild language
Additional Information
In writer-director Zach Helm's whimsical 2007 film, MR. MAGORIUM'S WONDER EMPORIUM, veteran actor Dustin Hoffman plays the title character, a 243-year-old toy-store owner who is ready to pass his enchanted business on to his beloved assistant, Molly Mahoney (Natalie Portman). However, when Molly, a former composer and pianist, has doubts about taking over the (literally) magical store, and an uptight accountant (Jason Bateman) appears to assess the establishment, the many inhabitants of the Wonder Emporium begin to rebel, resulting in a chaotic situation that can be fixed only with the help of a shy, lonely boy (Zach Mills).

A first-time director best known for his inventive STRANGER THAN FICTION screenplay, Helm ably--ahem--helms EMPORIUM, which clearly nods to the WONKA and TOY STORY movies without seeming derivative. Always one to dive gamely into a quirky role (see TOOTSIE, RAIN MAN, HOOK, etc.), Hoffman makes Magorium both silly and endearing, while Portman charms as his earnest protege, and Bateman provides an enjoyable level of scepticism while enduring the nickname 'The Mutant.' Although the film's playful quality could veer toward excess, its thoughtful script and able actors allow it to stand out as a highly entertaining production.

Mr Magorium (Dustin Hoffman) is an ageing toy shop owner, Molly Mahoney (Natalie Portman) his dependable assistant and Eric (Zach Mills) his number one customer. When Mr Magorium announces he's leaving and Molly refuses his offer of taking on the toy shop, the toy shop gets depressed, in fact it gets angry. It starts to lose its magic, it loses its colour and the walls start to bubble. Meanwhile Magorium hires a mutant (his word for accountant) to assess the value of the business and then puts the shop up for sale. It is Eric, the boy, who notices the shop's problems and is determined to save the shop. I don't want to say anymore, I don't want to spoil it for you, but what I can say is that this is a fantastic family film. Children will enjoy the colourful magical quality of the film and the amazing things that happen in the shop. Adults will appreciate the philosophy behind the film, being true to yourself and finding time to play and appreciate life. The mutant, Henry, is challenged by Eric. Eric wants to play but Henry doesn't have time, he's got to work - as a parent this challenged me and made me stop and think. I guess that we all need to take time to smell the roses! Great viewing and it's a film you'll want to watch over and over.Read full review

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
I did enjoy this movie and all the magical creates in it. The story line was a bit weak but i did enjoy watching Dustin Hoffman who is good in anything he does. Would not pay loads to own this on DVD when the price drops guy it then.

My kids hav had this out of the dvd shop recently and watched it over and over again as they loved it.My eldest (nearly 11) particularly enjoyed it,my younger one (nearly 7)"didn't like the bit where he dies",this gave us a chance to talk about the fact it meant the shop would be enjoyed by someone else,and we also talked a little about the fact that sadly it comes to us all.
