It is a little bit scary, but with all the stuff kids see these days it's fine.

What Parents Need to Know
About The Last Mimzy
Parents need to know that despite its whimsical title, this fantasy adventure incorporates many sci-fi elements that may frighten sensitive children. It's unclear whether the mysterious toys the children find are alien, from the past or future, good or evil. Mimzy (a talking stuffed rabbit) speaks in a buzzing whisper that only Emma can hear, and the toy's many close-ups border on the menacing: Just what does the white rabbit want? FBI agents bust in the family's door and take everyone into custody under the laws of the Patriot Act. The young protagonists speak telepathically with each other and the Mimzy. Ultimately it's a harmless fantasy, but some scenes featuring the strange devices can be creepy, even for adults.

THIS IS THE WORST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd RATHER WATCH DOGS CRAP OUTSIDE THEN WATCH THIS FILM!!!! those little kids are the worst actors EVER.it was so stupid,i wanted to RIP the cotton out of the mimzy doll and then burn it in front of the little girl.if u wanna something corny and fake then turn to the sci-fi channel.basically this is the worst stupidest movie i have ever seen in a matter of fact how could i even call this THING a movie

Odd and a little creepy
I did not like this film. My 9 year old and 6 old watched it with my husband and I which helped to debunk the weird New Agey issues with the teacher and his fiancee as well as the strange beginning and end of the film. There are lots of holes in the plot which are never resolved such as what happened really in the future, what happens to Mimsy, what did the tear have to do with anything and I could go on. Not well acted or executed as a film. Disappointing.

It was good. Should have been PG13.
Yeah. The only scary part was when Emma had a seizure but it was only scary b/c I've seen a real seizure.

A little off and full of plot holes
Something that truly bothered me about this film is how off the characters of Noah and Emma were. I don't think they're dialogue and attitude were appropriate to the age the kids were supposed to be. There are elements of Buddhism and government interference in this movie. Anyone who isn't comfortable with anything but Christianity should stay away. The film is based on the short story "Mimsy were the Borogroves", which is strange in itself, and also takes aspects from "Through the Looking Glass". If anything having to do with "Allice in Wonderland" bothered you and you didn't want your children exposed to it, stay away. I found the movie to be full of a few plot holes, and no real conclusion and resolution and lacking in explanation as to why did I just sit through this. Your children probably won't understand it to, but some of the special effects might spark their imagination.

VERY cool
There were a few parts in this that I thought that coud easly freak smaller kids out by some very intence parts but if they don't get scared all that mch then GET IT!f I think its good for kid 10+

Well Made but lacking a moral compass.
First off I'm a Christian, call me right wing if you want. I have 4 small children 6,4,2 and 9 weeks. I watched this movie to see if it would be ok for my kids to watch. No Way. There is a nude hiney and a lot of occoultish themes. I can appreciate the Sci-Fi Factor of the movie and as an adult ,with the proper spiritual filters, enjoyed the movie. Unfortunately a child who has yet to develop a belief system could be drastically swayed to the "dark side" by this movie. Now if my kids were older like 15-17 I'd watch it with them and use it as a tool to explain the alure of the occult.

was a let down!
I thought this was going to be a family friendly movie but boy was I wrong. My kids 10 & 7 and their friend 11 and I sat down to watch this movie and within the first 30 minutes I'd say they were covering their faces. The teacher bent over after what you could assume spending "time " with his fiance and showed his bare bottom!! I was also disturbed at the frequent use of the word suck from the little boy in the movie. My kids and their friend thought the movie was a little creepy. And when the teachers fiance read the kids palms we really got freaked out and turned it off! Sorry but this movie was not what we would call a Family Movie!!!!

pretty good
only 2 critical points for the movie. noah saying sucks about 500 times to start the movie and why couldn't they have the teacher be married instead of living with his fiance'? it wouldn't have hurt the story to do that. otherwise, it was good. better than watching what's on tv for sure.

Ehhhhh not so good
Well it is very family friendly but for entertainment for teens it is extremely predictable and at the end the movie gets a little lazy and choppy. But I guess what I am saying is good for ages 3/12 but skip the enjoyment for the 14/17 , and all parents should like it.

A must see for anyone who loves a good fantasy adventure.
I thourghly enjoyed this movie,it held my attention and interest all the way through. I loved the special effects and the child actors in the movie I thought did a very good job, very cute and believable. My only slight criticism was that it was a bit too new agey for me,but hey it was a fantasy story so I'm willing to over look that. Over all a very good and cute movie!
