IF came out earlier this year and it really seemed like it was just a grown up version of Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends. John Krasinski is both in it and he directed it. I think that he has a decent enough range but having Ryan Reynolds in the movie hurts it I think. Krasinski, Reynolds and Zachary Levi all have the same energy to me, they are relatively mediocre at exactly one thing and that is all they are capable of doing. I wouldn’t consider any of them serious actors, yet somehow they keep getting hired. No one had high hopes for this movie, but it came out this year which means I have to watch it so here we go.

It was fine. It was definitely a skippable movie. But it does tell a story that I think is necessary. I just wish it was executed better. 6.5/10 at best. I think that there were some really easy, common sense things to fix if the filmmakers had edited literally anything before starting to film. There is a severe industry issue with a lack of oversight, I do not buy into this idea that creatives should have unbridled time and money to do whatever they want. Filmmaking is a collaborative process that requires people to think of the audience and the story and the characters and not just what the creatives want.
