IF

This Pixar-ish fable by John Krasinski falls a little short of the films it resembles.

Bright, imaginative and visually charming with wonderful creature designs, IF wears its very big heart on its sleeve.

I am slightly iffy about IF.

There’s a cartoonish side for the kids and a nostalgia tug for adults. It has a decent twist at the end and the final credits sequence, which includes the invisible Keith, is worth hanging around for.

Every beat of IF is writ large, making for an unnatural viewing experience, one where charming moments are frustratingly loud, drowning out the film as a whole.

Despite a star-studded voice cast and a terrific lead in Cailey Fleming, this big-hearted animation-live action hybrid doesn’t feel magical like the Pixar films it aspires to emulate.

Cute movie, as long as you don't think about anything in it for more than two seconds. Once you do, it starts to feel a little creepy.

Krasinski knows how to reach each member of the family differently making for a good family movie night that sparks creativity and tugs at the heartstrings.

Krasinski makes a strong case for the necessity of play in cinema, and the product is a heartwarming tearjerker that provides not only an enjoyable film that works for all the family, but one that asks you to reconnect with who you are

...an appealing premise that is, for the most part, employed to underwhelming and uninvolving effect by Krasinski...
