Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (U)
Vue Romford

A magical toy store owner hands his legacy over to a brilliant young pianist who has lost her sparkle.
Forcibly sentimental fantasy comedy, with "magic" created through special effects rather than characterisation - most of the sub-plots don't amount to much ultimately. As much of a novelty as the average toy really: fun to begin with, but soon becoming tiresome.
