The premise of 'IF' seemed promising, and there are some appealing visual effects, but ultimately, I found myself feeling quite bored while watching. It seems geared toward a younger audience or families, even though the underlying message didn’t really resonate with me. The film establishes a pleasant atmosphere initially (at least until Blossom & Co. appears), and it does end on an emotional note, however, most …

I was excited to see "IF" because I like John Krasinski's work, but afterward, I felt let down somewhat. It wasn't a poorly made film; my reaction stemmed from having certain hopes going in that weren’t satisfied. “IF” is competently crafted and has some promising concepts, though it doesn't completely realize what it seems to be building toward.

She soon learns abo…

IF proved to be an unexpectedly wonderful film, going beyond what I thought it would be. The way the 3D animation is mixed with live action really sparks imagination and contributes to a story that's both deep and very touching.
