What a terrible fucking title.
“Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium”
sounds like a dyslexic Dr. Seuss impersonator
trying to overcome writer’s block.
A film so desperate to be quirky and twee
that I’m surprised it wasn’t called
“The Contrived Adventures of Zooey Deschanel and Wes Anderson”
This film has to be whimsical and joyous,
but ends up just being tediously dull and annoying as fuck.
And you can’t trust a film that thinks it’s being interesting
just because it gives one of its characters a lisp. Shite.
