But as long as Murphy is being silly, the kids laugh. Their affinity for an adult, even one on the big screen, who is willing to play with them is palpable. And at the end, even the movie critic got a bit teary. Imagine that!
Talk About It
Discussion starters
- Why do you think Evan thought it was easier to wheel and deal in the world of high finance rather than to be a father to his own child?
- Have you ever found comfort in a physical object like a blanket? What was the object and why do you think it provided that comfort?
- How does your imagination play into your daily life? Do you feel like you use your imagination a lot? Or is it something you rarely tap into?
- Where do you think Olivia's never-fail financial advice actually came from?
The Family Corner
For parents to consider
Imagine That is rated PG for some mild language and brief questionable behavior. It's suggested that Olivia's blanket is the sort of blanket that lets children develop their inner eye. Jonny Whitefeather tries to get his own son to be a seer in a similar fashion to Olivia and hops him up on Red Bull in the process. I suspect this scene is the "questionable behavior" referred to in the MPAA's rating.
