When I first watched this, I felt let down a little, I didn't love it that much. I thought the lead actress did great, I loved all the different imaginative scenes they came up with. I just felt like the overall story, was missing something and I just didn't connect with it. I feel like someone of that was because I really wanted to and thought I would, like this movie a lot. However on watching this again a second time, I do like it more, I noticed little things here and there, that I didn't the first time, like the line from Bea, "I'm not a kid" and Calvin said "Well, that's, that" with a kind of sad tone as she left, then later when he asked why she could help and she said "because I'm a kid" and he said "Well, that's that", with a lot more of a hopeful tone. I liked the little things I noticed like that. My original score would have been about a 2, I was low on the movie, my new score is probably a 3 or a 3.5.

I felt the exact same way, I liked it but there was something missing. I didn't really find myself laughing that much, I'm not sure if it was supposed to be but when you have Ryan and these imaginary characters you expect a little more. Some moments just felt so rushed, like there's that scene when she goes to the hospital to see her dad just to give him flowers and leave, it was just a little odd. The beginning is weird to me too because where was she staying before going to the grandma's? It seems like her dad had been in the hospital for a little while, the nurse even comments about them catching up. There's a couple of other scenes that was a little sporadic to me. It is a lot better the second time around, the message and idea is what I really enjoy. I love that when you first watch it your thinking it's about them finding new kids but no it's about them reconnecting with the kid that created them and that they were still needed even though they're grown up. That feels like something Pixar would come up with. Honestly, I thought this film's inspiration was maybe a little of Monsters Inc, the IF's kind of felt like Monsters. The second half is where I really love it, the beginning kind of drags a little bit.

I recommend watching “A Monster Calls” from 2016. Really underrated and another movie that deals with “imagination” and grief.
