What Parents Need to Know
About Imagine That
Parents need to know that this Eddie Murphy father-daughter comedy is aimed squarely at families, so expect your kids to be interested. The good news is that it's mostly tame and family-friendly, except for a few exclamations like "crap" and "hell" and some possibly off-putting, over-the-top references/jokes regarding Native Americans and their culture. While Murphy's character starts out primarily interested in furthering his career, he ultimately learns an important lesson about putting his daughter first.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the movie's messages about work-family balance.
- What does Evan learn by the time the movie is over?
- Was Olivia's fantasy world important because it helped Evan get ahead or because it helped them bond?
- Families can also discuss the movie's Native American jokes/references. Are they funny? Is humor based on stereotypes OK?

Little kid, and very stupid
Hate it. Very stupid and does not make sense.
- I rate this title on for age 6 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate language
The movie itself was very cute and so funny! I watched it with my dad and he was like turning red and dying of laughter. It was all good and nothing bad (except some racism), but the language was kind of innapropriate. Crap, cut the crap, loads of crap, hell, shut up, stupida, and poop were used and even though (with the shows they watch) it's nothing new to your young ones, it's NOT setting a great example. Cut the language, and the movies fine for 6 and up.
- I rate this title iffy for age 3 and give itMy concerns are:
- Inappropriate language
Seriously, can't it be clean language for the entire movie?
Won't let them see this one again. There is NO reason to use ANY foul language and yet, there you go...

Eddie Murphy makes this movie a pretty funny and good movie.
Eddie Murphy stars in this funny,and sweet father-daughter film. I think that kids ages 5+ will like and enjoy this funny family film. I recommend this for kids who like Eddie Murphy and his funny movies. I gave this funny film a 3 out of 4 stars.

Message meant for adults
This movie was about parents learning to put their child before their career, which is really a message for adults, not kids. The father seemed to be nice, but stole from his daughter and used his daughter to get ahead in his career. Another character gave Red Bull to his son to get him to come up with some good stock picks. All my kids (3,5,7,9,11) were bored and did not get what the father was doing with his daughter (he was having her imaginary friends make stock picks for him).

Not as innocent as it sounds, but perfect for dads and their tween daughters
There's really nothing that's inappropriate, (except for a moderate amount of mild language) but young kids won't be able to understand or appriciate the financial talk. Over all it's really cute though. It's a great movie for tweens and teens to watch with their dads.

Pretty good movie for kids and families
While the message was pretty good, the plot and humor could be appreciated by those seven and older. It didn't really hold the attention of my five year old boy, but the ten year old and almost 13 seemed to like it.

How Is This Bad For Kids 6 and Up?!?!?!?!?
Hey I never saw this but it so deserves the rating it has and I will see it tonight and I think that as many not-so-great words as it has it shouldn't move up a rating because it's about princesses and dancing and probably other stuff. And if it was PG-13, it wouldn't attract the right age audience. I think even 8-year olds wouldn't see it if it was PG-13, and it is clearly directed at the younger kids.

Eddy is the best and so are his movies!!!!!!!!!!
We all have our own oppinions, but let me tell you something Eddy Murphy is one of my favorite actors and he is just hilarious to me. He is LOL funny and just a great actor all together. And I think the little girl is just adorable and the sweetest little thing ever. She reminds me of Raven Symone when she was little. (by the way Raven is my role model). Enough about the actors and actresses. This movie was great for that father daughter relationship thet some fathers and daughters are trying to build especially if the daughter is a younger age. The only thing that kind of caught my attention abd concerned me was the inappropriate language; other that that this movie was awsome.If you want a good movie about a father daughter relationship and humorous at the same time then this is definatly the movie for you!!!!!!!
