Trivia:
Mahoney and Mr. Magorium choose to start jumping on the mattresses in the mattress store on the count of "triscadecaphobia." Triscadecaphobia is the fear of the number 13. more
Goofs:
Factual errors: Magorium states that "It takes Shakespeare, a genius, to come up with "He dies." The phrase "He dies" appears in the stage directions, not the text itself. In fact, Shakespeare never wrote any stage directions, so he did not write "He dies." This, along with all the other stage directions in Shakespeare, was added by later editors. more

The only review you need to read, 7 March 2008
10/10
Author: kickboxgrrl from Seattle, WA, USA

I am amazed by the unbelievably DENSE comments and reviews I've read, apparently written by folks who have completely missed the point. These people did not have the courage for 90 short minutes to suspend their cynicism, disbelief, and cowardly need for proof or substantiation of every little thing. (Big ol' raspberry to them!)

A kid's movie? "Just" for children? Heck no. Rather, this movie is "just" for those, regardless of physical age, who have been fortunate enough to retain any portion of their own childlike -- notice, I did not say childISH -- appreciation and pure unclouded understanding of wonder, simplicity, love, and of magic found in the everyday.

If your heart was not touched, even in some intangible microscopic way, by this movie - are you sure you still have one?
