Eddie Murphy stars in this family comedy that combines the right amount of sillyness and seriousness to captivate the family audience. As an extremely busy investment executive who has little time for his daughter, Evan Daniels (Eddie Murphy) finds himself having to juggle fatherhood and a hard-to-predict stock market - a feat that almost cost him his job. He finds help in the most unlikely of places as he learns how to make some hard parenting decisions.

"Imagine That" is a movie that highlights a challenge that a good number of parents experience - juggling parental and career responsibilities and having to make decisions on which one takes precedence.Murphy gets an extra dose of this when his career success becomes unexpectedly tied to how well he performs as a father - how well he can "enter" into his daughter's imagination, live the fantasy with her, and speak a "language" she understands. This in turn translates into some serious superstar moments for him at his job, a "language" he understands.
The movie continues in several really funny moments when Eddie Murphy does what he's done for so many years - make us laugh. We see how he gains a better understanding of what it means to be a father, and how when the moment finally came for him to decide just what he was willing to give up for fame and fortune - he decided his daughter's love wasn't.
Review Summary
| Positive Elements | Healthy father-daughter moments, Good ol Murphy humor |
| Negative Elements | A boy calls a man a fool in one scene, getting other kids to join him in throwing balls at him. Parental guidance advised. |

I really enjoyed watching this movie. It wasn't too serious, or too emotional.
