Movie Review

Grade: C- Long before the movie was released, my brother read the screenplay of Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium and was quite excited for the film's release. However, upon seeing the previews for the film, he expressed dismay at what looked like some major alterations to the movie. I can't remember exactly what he said, but having now watched the film myself, I can say with certainty that whatever potential he saw in the screenplay never made it to the big screen.
