If (2024)

⭐⭐⭐

Well intentioned and sweet, but best when zany, which isn’t enough.

What happens to our imaginary friends, once we grow out of our child like imagination? Written and directed by John Krasinski, If tries to answer that very question. Following a young girl as she deals with loss, she joins a group of If (imaginary friends) as they try to find the kids who thought them up, now adults.

And who needs an imaginary pal more than an adult?

Its rather on the sad side for an audience expecting a more fun fantastical story.
