is a movie that I made for my kids because I don’t think they’re allowed to see A Quiet Place; Emily calls it PG-40, “You’ll get to see it when you are 40!” So I had to make a movie that they could watch and am really excited about. – The Extra-terrestrial.Krasinski explains, [Blunt]”
IF is a movie that I made for my kids because I don’t think they’re allowed to see A Quiet Place; Emily calls it PG-40, ‘You’ll get to see it when you’re 40!’ So I had to make a movie that they could see, and I’m really, really excited about it. I mean, Ryan Reynolds, in every way, shape, and form, is the best. And this incredible phenom actress, Cailey, is also in the film. It was more about telling a story with these time capsules. I think we’re told that we’re adults instead of what if you realize that you never stopped being a kid?”The plot of IF
“a young girl who suddenly develops the ability to see everyone’s imaginary friends after undergoing a difficult situation. She begins to see magic in her daily life and realizes that many of the imaginary friends she encounters were created by people when they were children. As she begins to see magic manifested in her daily doings, she realizes many of the imaginary friends she comes across were created by individuals when they were just children and then sadly forgotten about.”01001010 While the animated feature is not based on any prior intellectual property, it shares some similarities with the 1991 comedy 01001010Drop Dead Fred01001010, which involves Phoebe Cates portraying a woman who reunites with her imaginary friend from when she was a little girl.01001010https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ghdX9C9WrU01001010
