Spoilers ahead but you probably shouldn't care….
Just got out of it and…yeah…didn't like it and that sucks because this seemed like a film that A LOT of effort went in to but missed the mark on just about everything…
The world they were trying to build around these characters was weird and rules seemed to change….
The characters they focused on had very little payoff….for example there's a young boy in a hospital with broken bones and it seemed they were going to build on something big for him….and then they did their little interview montage and I realized, "nope just a comedy routine that's not funny" and at the end his character arch is given the same amount of time as the secretary we see for all of 15 seconds….wat??????
Also they bring up several times at the beginning about IF's disappearing if they're forgotten (felt similar to Coco) and then…..nothing…..never brought up again no sense of urgency….just IF's going around and trying to get recognized by their former kids…..wat??????
And there's Kranziskis character who's in the hospital for seemingly some sort of serious heart surgery…..they never say but I was assuming it was a heart transplant since he was living in a hospital…..and then what….the next day he's out of the hospital carrying boxes and skipping along while moving out of their apartment in New York…..wat????????
And then there's Ryan Reynolds character….who is in charge of….something….claims to be trying to match kids with other IFs but sucks at it until random main character comes along who basically does nothing other than draw pictures of IFs while interviewing them and all of a sudden he's good at his job……wat????????
Then there's our main character….who can randomly see IFs but it's never explained why….who can recreate IFs entire world but it's never explained why….who can somehow telepathicly know what song was played at grandmas dance recital which somehow helps her remember her IF…..wat??????
And there's the twist ending….that Reynolds was the IF for our main character all along which means…..WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?????????
This movie was more confusing than Boss Baby and that's saying something….
And that sucks cause again they seemed to be REALLY trying to make a heart felt good family friendly movie (and it is family friendly I'll give it that) but I just kept getting more and more confused throughout the entire thing…..
To me it would've been SO much better if they would've focused more on the mothers death and having that be where main character lost her innocence at a young age….dad is still in the picture and perfectly healthy…..and the story revolves around a MUCH bigger world and our main character and her IF trying to reunite to save her IF and in turn finds out now to save others…….
Also it wasn't funny at all….dont think I laughed once during it….so to sum up…..
