Imagine That

RELEASE DATE: June 12
IN A NUTSHELL: A crackberry obsessed exec (Eddie Murphy) ignores his seven-year-old daughter (Yara Shahidi), until his career tanks and he seeks solace—and finds new business ideas—in her imaginary world.
FOR YOU: Moms will laugh at the funnies, but wonder why Hollywood produces all these movies about neglectful fathers who have a sudden conversion to the magic of parenthood. Guilt, anybody?
FOR THEM: Dr. Dolittle addicts will follow Murphy in almost any silly direction—even if the story isn’t fresh, he sings and uses funny voices. ‘Nuff said.
