Imagine That


Eddie Murphy plays a divorced financial wizard juggling his job and his little daughter following the dissolution of his marriage,even though he remains on friendly enough terms with his ex-wife.His life changes when his daughter visits him in his office and to his horror she doodles and draws all over his carefully-prepared presentation for a very important meeting.

He has no choice but to take the remnants of his work into the meeting where it is seen by his superior who is astonished at the brilliance of the doodlings which he puts down to Eddie.It seems that his daughter, when questioned later at home,says she talks to three imaginary princesses who tell her things which she then passes on to her father.

There are some lovely sequences as Eddie tries to get more information from his little girl and her invisible friends.

There is a brilliant and poignant last line which appears to have wandered in from another film.Heartwarmingly excellent and a real return to form for Eddie.I cannot understand some of the negative critiques which the film has attracted - this is a sweet and very enjoyable film.7/10
