What the Critics say | ||
| Cape Argus / The Star Sheri Linden  Slightly charming whimsical detour. | 5 |  |
| Die Burger Jacques Lieberberg 'n Stewige, genotlike prent oor die wonder van kindwees. | 10 |  |
| The Citizen Peter Feldman We all need a little bit of magic this holiday season and this could just be the source. | 12 |  |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert This isn't quite the over-the-top fantasy you'd like it to be, but it's a charming enough little movie, and probably the younger you are, the more charming. | 15 |  |
| eye Weekly Adam Nayman Producing a film that endeavors to help children cope with questions of existence is all well and good, but kind of pointless when there isn't a shred of life in it. | 1 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli It's plodding and at times tedious and it never really goes anywhere. | 10 | |
| ScreenItAs it stands, about the only fun thing about Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is its rhyming title, and that's clearly not enough to make us believe, or care, as much as we should. | 6 | |
