November 3, 2010The Last Mimzy is a more family-oriented version of "Donnie Darko". They both have to do with the future and they both have characters that are rabbits. The only problem is is that this movie is way too confusing for the little kids and promoting this as a family film was a big s... read more

February 5, 2010fb733768972One of the best kids movies that I have seen in the last decade. It has a very imaginative child-like story, and it does go somewhere, and for the most part, it's pretty well acted!

May 21, 2009A brother and sister start to display mysterious skills after finding some magic toys. A very interesting movie where the bad guys (the Government as usual) aren't as bad as normal in this type of movie. A bit simplistic of an ending. I especially liked the little girl's (Mega... read more

September 5, 2008This is pretty good for a family film, not quite as much action as I weas expecting, but it has a good story line and and a fine cast. The children especially act very well for their age. Overall good family fun if not quite a classic.

October 3, 2007Surprisingly complex & tension-filled for a kids movie. I wish more family films were made like this because it treats its viewers like they have some bit of intellegence. Highly recommended.

The Last Mimzy is that phenomenon as welcome as the first robin of spring, a kids' movie that is more than bearable for adults. Full Review

Wholesome, eager entertainment that doesn't talk down.

Claudia Puig, USA Today
The movie grows muddled with too many tedious segments involving adults. Full Review

Peter Howell, Toronto Star
The gentleness of the film is almost unique in this day and age. It's a true family movie, one that adults likely won't groan at when they are told that the problems of the future are because 'our pre... Full Review

A good-looking, relatively ambitious movie that respects and enhances [sci-fi writer] Kuttner's vision. Full Review

Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
An involving fantasy for beamish boys and girls -- and their parents. At moments, Mimzy captures the moonbeam awe of E.T. Full Review

Lisa Rose, Newark Star-Ledger
The picture grows pretentious in parts and the ending is anticlimactic. Full Review

Lou Lumenick, New York Post
After a slightly sluggish start, director Shaye directs with assurance, and the kids are delightful. Full Review

Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
You'd be far better off tracking down the original tale than trying to untangle Bob Shaye's choppy adaptation. Full Review
