One night, Bea buys a charger for her mother’s camcorder and discovers a bizarre creature following it.The following day, Bea spots the creature again, but this time it is with a man. Bea follows them into a house and the man called Cal collects a giant, furry purple creature named Blue. Soon after, a butterfly type creature called Blossom reveals herself and Bea immediately passes out. She wakes up and Cal reveals that he has been working with IFs (Imaginary Friends) to give them to other children. Bea, originally skeptical decides to help Cal.The next day, Cal and Bea go to the ‘memory lane retirement home’, where IFs hang out underneath Coney Island. Cal introduces Bea to an elderly teddy bear named Lewis and he encourages Bea to use her imagination, much to Cals annoyance.Bea attempts to match one of the IFs to a young boy who she met called Benjamin. However, he is unable to see them, which just makes Bea even more unmotivated. Cal gives Bea the idea that IFs may not need new owners, but rather to be reunited with their old kids.Bea talks to Margaret and she shows her an old picture of her when she was younger and Bea recognizes Blossom in the background. Bea realizes that Blossom was her grandmothers IF and she decides to play one of Margaret’s old records and encourages her to dance and she remembers Blossom. Bea regains hope.Following clues, Bea, Cal and Blue discover Blues original owner, a man called Jeremy, who is now all grown up and trying to launch his own business. After an initial failure, Bea and Cal successfully remind Jeremy of Blue and the duo reconcile. Later that night, Bea returns home and receives bad news from Margaret that her father’s operation went wrong and Bea rushes upstairs and becomes comforted by Cal. Cal then tells Bea to go to the hospital and tell him a story, so Bea heads to her father and he keeps trying to have fun with her, while she tries to be grown up and that she still needs him, which ultimately awakens him. Bea goes to tell her mother the good news, but she realizes all the IFs have gone.Bea goes up to thank Cal, but no one answers. The local landlady reveals that the door she was trying to open, leads to an old storage compartment room. Beas father is released from hospital and they return home.

IF Movie Reviews

Beautiful movie but…

This was a visually stunning and whimsical movie. It had a star studded cast with Ryan Reynolds, John Krazinski and Steve Carell. In fact it could have done without a star playing the dad I thought, as this detracted from the emotional opening scene. The movie felt boring at times for the first two-thirds, despite the interesting concept of the story; I think it lacked suspenseful direction in the plot development. Ryan Reynolds had about three great funny moments, all of which are in the trailer, and it’s a shame he wasn’t able to bring a bit more of this well known personality into the film throughout. The last third was definitely the highlight of the movie and did get more exciting and definitely heightened the emotion of the movie.

Evoked something in me

Went to see an early screening of IF with my wife and son last night. The cinema was practically empty with only a few other families there? The film despite being 2024 was not the modern fast constant attention providing obvious story that films have now often now become for children . IF slowly develops , it draws you into its world and developing your care or wonder about it’s characters. That adults too became invested in this is a film for multi generation and works on more levels than expected.

Overall It hit and pleasently entertained the younger children but then something magical happened as the film developed towards it end. Without spoiling it I saw around me the adults rubbing tears from cheeks. Grandparents suddenly holding tighly hands closer and i got it . Well it got me ! This film started to evoke strong emotions about a child’s film I had not felt since those Coco or the ending of AI or toy story 3 days. This film touches you.

The screenplay and cinematography are excellent I need to see it again but the layers of this film make it a U universal (suitable for all)

Why did you have to do that?

My youngest daughter wanted to see this, it has Ryan Reynolds in it, so I thought “what the heck”. Man I did not anticipate that I would be a bumbling crying mess at the end of this film.

I wouldn’t say this is a kids film, it’s more of a film for adults who still have that child still inside of them, but they lost their way when they grew up and became adults. This is a movie for the child inside all of us, that still has that glimmer of hope.

John Krasinski seems like a big child, and that’s basically what he was playing in here. I don’t mean that in a negative way, I find it very endearing because you don’t see that a lot anymore in people.

I really liked seeing the imagination of the little girl in here, but as I stated this is a HEAVY movie, so some things kids may not enjoy in here. When we got out of the movie I asked my daughter “did you like the movie?” and she said “yeah, it was funny and sad”. I would have to agree with her assessment.

I would say that if you have a child that has trouble concentrating or sitting still, then they will be miserable in this. This is definitely targeted more for adults.
