Brief Review: The Last Mimsy (*** 3 stars)

I took my almost-eleven-year-old daughter to see The Last Mimsy on opening night. We both thoroughly enjoyed it. I have read a few reviews of people bashing it based on it's "Mysticism" and liberal views. I didn't see it. I saw a nice sci-fi story which was a fun, quirky, family-friendly movie. It was no ET, but it was pretty good. I could have probably gone to 3.5 stars if the acting was a little better. Both of the kids were a little rough at times and Michael Clarke Duncan proved once again that he should have retired after The Green Mile. On a positive note, Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute in The Office) was very good.

So, in conclusion, I would say don't hesitate to take the kids and see if you all enjoy this as much as I did. I think you will be pleased.
