The eccentric owner of a magical toy store surprises the shop's manager by turning over ownership to her in a warm-hearted comedy fantasy directed by Zach Helm and starring Jason Bateman, Dustin Hoffman, and Natalie Portman. Portman plays the manager of the store that seems to be a reflection of the people who run it, and Bateman stars as the detail-oriented accountant assigned the task of assessing the establishment's monetary value.

What Critics Say

Dustin Hoffman charms in colorful fairy tale Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium, but despite plenty of magical moments, it's missing the extra sparkle that could make it a classic.
