Missed the mark a lot
First impressions: she's clearly not 12 years old (the actor) and it was hard to imagine she is in any way at all. She mainly looks like a young passing 18 year old. When she says "I'm not a kid anymore" that was ironically the most grounded line in the script.
Secondly what kind of millionaire middle class tripe is this? Sorry John but the days of the average family living in a house like that are far gone. There's no true sense of existential struggle at all. This feels like a throwback to the 90s with none of the satire that could be adequately explored with a modern lens.
Overall it's a neat concept but so poorly executed. Don't even get me started on the bland score either. Ryan Reynolds deserves a better role, and just because Krasinski wrote it he needs to realise he's sub-par at this level. - stefanomoretta - 28 June 2024
Simply magical
I decided to watch IF knowing that John Krasinski was the director as I loved some of his work so far, but even tho I was still a little bit sceptical because the movie looked fun from the trailer but I was worried that it was a kid-only movie.
I couldn't be more wrong!
The movie is, in fact, very deep and I found it extremely related to me as an adult and probably even more than if I was still a child. The end is simply sensational and I dare anyone of you to keep tears.
John said that he made this movie for his daughters and watching the movie you can actually see that is not a normal movie but hase lot of love and a heart in it, something very rare nowadays.
DEFINITELY A MUST SEE.
