Critics Consensus

The Last Mimzy makes efforts to be a fun children's movie, but unsuccessfully juggles too many genres and subplots -- eventually settling as an unfocused, slightly dull affair.

B

New Line powerbroker/director Robert Shaye has made a children's film for stoners, a trippy, psychedelic fable that belongs in the DVD section of New Age bookstores alongside the strangely similar What The Fuck Do We Know?

2.5/5

Shaye's direction of The Last Mimzy is bland and undistinguished and assures his continued reign as a film executive.

3/6

It's refreshing to be reminded that an intelligent, exciting family movie isn't always an oxymoron.

And yet.... If you can turn off the voices that murmur all the reasons there are to dislike this film, you will find that it actually works as entertainment.

2.5/4

Features moments both ridiculous and sublime, contrived and inspired, and somewhere in between something truly magical happens - The Last Mimzy steals our hearts.

I will give credit to this movie that it actually tries to be a good kids movie. But sadly it ends up feeling generic, Overstuffed with side plots and genres, and overall just feeling as if it could have come from any other studio and could have been better.
