Firstly, I want to give a special thanks to the community for having me here.

Another teen angst movie starring Ryan Reynolds. Written, Produced, Directed, starring John Krasinski.
The movie begins with a montage of a young girl (Cailey Fleming "Walking Dead") growing up in a perfect Disney household where all parents are doting, play dress-up with their kid, dance around the house, don't have jobs and hold make-believe concerts. You know, the households that only exist in fantasy.
Of course, we watch as the scenes with the mother show her becoming ill and dying in a hospital bad, presumably of Cancer.
The movie fast forwards to the daughter and father visiting dottering grandma (Fiona Shaw "Harry Potter") as the father is in the hospital preparing for surgery to deal with an unspecified heart-related ailment. Grandma, of course, is completely oblivious to the fact that her young granddaughter is wandering around New York.
That night, the girl spots Ryan Reynolds and an Imaginary Character breaking into a neighbor's house to get another, much larger "IF" (Imaginary Friend).
She is then led into the world of Imaginary Friends where she teams up with Reynolds to find homes for them.
Chaos ensues.
The movie is relatively entertaining, though padded heavily with fantasy images with the girl and the IFs, including a song and dance number.
Ryan Reynolds plays Ryan Reynolds. John Krasinski is the overly happy father. Cailey Fleming does a very good job of playing the young girl transitioning to adulthood while trying to hold onto her childlike imagination.
There are, of course, a few plot twists, none of which coming as a surprise to anyone paying attention.
The biggest deviation from the formula is that there is no bad guy. They aren't fighting anyone. It's just a movie about the loss of childhood innocence, imagination and freedoms as life beats it out of you and turns you into an adult.
There are enough shiny things to entertain the young kids, but it really isn't a kid's movie. This movie hits adults squarely in the face with a sledgehammer while the children watch blissfully unaware of what the future holds for them.
Reynolds and Krasinkski called all of their Hollywood friends in to voice various IFs. Half of Hollywood is in this movie for a few seconds.
Of course, there is an invisible Imaginary Friend that has no lines and in an homage to Deadpool 2, is credited as being played by Brad Pitt.
It's a decent enough movie for a matinee on a rainy day, but I'd wait until it becomes available on your favorite streaming service.
Thanks for reading

En primer lugar, quiero agradecer especialmente a la comunidad por invitarme aquí.
Otra película de angustia adolescente protagonizada por Ryan Reynolds. Escrita, producida, dirigida y protagonizada por John Krasinski.
La película comienza con un montaje de una niña (Cailey Fleming "Walking Dead") que crece en un hogar perfecto de Disney donde todos los padres son cariñosos, juegan a disfrazarse con sus hijos, bailan en la casa, no tienen trabajo y organizar conciertos imaginarios. Ya sabes, los hogares que sólo existen en la fantasía.
Por supuesto, vemos las escenas con la madre que la muestran enfermando y muriendo en un hospital, presumiblemente de cáncer.
La película avanza rápidamente hasta que la hija y el padre visitan a la abuela (Fiona Shaw "Harry Potter") mientras el padre está en el hospital preparándose para una cirugía para tratar una dolencia no especificada relacionada con el corazón. La abuela, por supuesto, ignora por completo el hecho de que su joven nieta deambula por Nueva York.
Esa noche, la niña ve a Ryan Reynolds y un personaje imaginario irrumpiendo en la casa de un vecino para conseguir otro "IF" (Amigo Imaginario) mucho más grande.
Luego la llevan al mundo de Amigos Imaginarios, donde forma equipo con Reynolds para encontrarles un hogar.
Sobreviene el caos.
La película es relativamente entretenida, aunque está repleta de imágenes de fantasía con la niña y los IF, incluido un número de canción y baile.
Ryan Reynolds interpreta a Ryan Reynolds. John Krasinski es el padre demasiado feliz. Cailey Fleming hace un muy buen trabajo interpretando a la joven en transición a la edad adulta mientras intenta aferrarse a su imaginación infantil.
Por supuesto, hay algunos giros en la trama, ninguno de los cuales sorprende a nadie que preste atención.
La mayor desviación de la fórmula es que no hay ningún malo. No están peleando con nadie. Es simplemente una película sobre la pérdida de la inocencia, la imaginación y las libertades de la niñez a medida que la vida te las quita a golpes y te convierte en un adulto.
Hay suficientes cosas brillantes para entretener a los niños pequeños, pero realmente no es una película para niños. Esta película golpea a los adultos directamente en la cara con un mazo mientras los niños miran felizmente sin darse cuenta de lo que les depara el futuro.
Reynolds y Krasinkski llamaron a todos sus amigos de Hollywood para que expresaran varios IF. Medio Hollywood está en esta película durante unos segundos.
Por supuesto, hay un amigo imaginario invisible que no tiene líneas y, en homenaje a Deadpool 2, se le atribuye ser interpretado por Brad Pitt.
Es una película bastante decente para una sesión matinal en un día lluvioso, pero esperaría hasta que esté disponible en su servicio de transmisión favorito.
