The result is a much more playable film than recent efforts, though Murphy will have to share the applause with young Yara Shahidi.
Mr. Murphy rises to every occasion, not only with the crisp wit that has long been his hallmark, but with restraint and tenderness that serve him well.
Amusing without ever being break-out funny.
There's something sweet about the way that Murphy throws himself into this piffle. Thomas Haden Church does too.
Though Imagine That's message is benign, its adult focus is off-base, and every move feels too familiar, formulaic and telegraphed.
