I am not sure what movie critics saw or if they are taking their job a little too seriously. This is a warm, fantastically acted, charming little movie.
My kids had no trouble following the plot at all. Yes, you don't walk away understanding how the magical world of IFs works, because you shouldn't. Everyone's IF world is different and I believe that is the main message. It doesn't have a whole of logic to it and it is not overproduced either. Importantly, both my kids and I cried at the same moments, so the movie got SOMETHING right. Highly recommended for kids from around 9 and up and grownups of all ages.
