Who’s in it: Rainn Wilson (above), Chris O’Neil, Rhiannon Leigh Wryn, Timothy Hutton, Joely Richardson
What it’s about: Youngsters Noah (O’Neil) and Emma Wilder (Wryn) discover a mysterious box filled with odd contraptions and a cuddly rabbit named Mimzy. The “toys” do magical things, including changing Noah into a scientific genius. Noah’s history teacher (Wilson) realizes what’s going on, his parents (Richardson, Hutton) ignore it, and then the Department of Homeland Security gets involved.
Worth watching? (star)(star) 1/2
” `The Last Mimzy’ is a sci-fi family film that combines metaphysical issues, mind-bending special effects and children slowly realizing how dissolute our society is becoming. In short: It’s a movie for precocious stoners.”
