Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium
June 18, 2008 by Myscha Theriault
A magical store where toys come to life is the backdrop for this film starring Natalie Portman and Dustin Hoffman.
The Wonder Emporium, run by Mr. MaGorium, is getting ready to change hands. Dustin Hoffman’s character (MaGorium) wants to give the store to his long time manager and apprentice Mahoney (Portman) as his legacy to her. But the transition doesn’t go as either of them plan. Included in the mischief and mayhem are the store’s new accountant and it’s most loyal young customer and managerial assistant, Eri.
Packed with fun, magic and the power of imagination, I found this movie to be an extremely pleasant surprise.
