Don't watch this movie!

I am writing this to save my brethren who might have the ridiculously stupid idea of attempting to watch "The Last Mimzy"

I hesitate to even mention the name, knowing full well that my man-card is at great risk.

There is no possibility most of you would risk exposure to this monstrosity, but some you have children, and we must think of their safety!

It all started with my 10 year old daughter. You earn Dad-points for watching stupid kidsy girly stuff with them, right?? A little girl with some kind of magic bunny...what could be better right?

Wrong.

This movie appears to have been made as a child's guide to fun and free exorcism you too can do at home! (including the famous Linda Blair levitation pose).

It's what happens when you cross The Exorcist with ET and Mary Poppins, mixed with a spoonful of hallucinogens.

Throw in Dwight Schrute and his crazy, greeny, whacko, Tibetan Buddhist fiancée who is obsessed with winning the lottery, exhorting such unforgettable classic literary lines as "The whole Universe is trying to communicate with you, and you're worried about something as earth-bound as kidnapping?".

This movie is creepy, pointless, and takes New Age weirdness to soaring new heights.

Where else can you hear stuff like, "Look out! Because pollutants can change us. And not just chemical and biological ones, cultural ones as well."

Maybe I missed it. Maybe it is a cult classic, and I should have just put on my Tim Curry outfit and started doing the "Time Warp". I'd have had a lot more fun!

And one more thing... If you're gonna steal from Lewis Carroll, at least learn to spell MIMSY CORRECTLY!!

That doesn't sound bad really.

In reply to ProDarwin:

Well, maybe with enough drugs you can get Julie Andrews to dress like Tim Curry.

I'm always looking for things to watch with the kiddos. I saw that in Netflix Instant View a while back. I watched the trailer and, in the 108 second duration, I became dumber.
We didn't watch it.

Oh, to go back in time and not have pressed play.

I had the misfortune of being subjected to watching that a couple years ago. It was downright awful. Even worse than "Where the Wild Things Are."

Some how this descrisption doesn't make the movie sound that bad. But then again, I do own the original Casino Royale, Movie 43 and a number of other trippy movies that make no sense.

I was also tempted to watch it after reading that

Me too.

My kids liked it.

And nothing was worse than the movie version of "Where the Wild Things Are".

Ohhh, I'm sure that was on the advice of counsel.

In reply to Duke:

Probably so, but they actually read directly from both Jaberwocky and Through the Looking Glass, so there was plenty of IP theft going on.

Someone is enamoured with Lewis Carroll, but this movie did not honor his talents.

Movie 43

Now I want guacamole.

The wife and I saw Divergent a couple weeks ago. Don't make the same mistake.

Really? That's a shame. My wife really liked the book series.

I watched that one when it came out, I didnt really have a problem with it. The movie "Bridge to Terabithia" though was a horrible kids movie. The main kid is a jack ass and then the only nice person in the movie spoiler here dies at the end. It was a horrible piece of garbage.
