WHY YOU SHOULD STREAM IF - TIPS FROM JUSTWATCH

  • The perfect movie to see with the whole family

    "IF is perfect for family movie night. Its premise is imaginative and humorous enough to hold children's attention, while the plot is emotional and nostalgic enough to appeal to adults. The movie is largely a love letter to childhood and imaginary friends, but it also delves lightly into themes of loss and grief. IF is further elevated by heartfelt performances from Cailey Fleming, Ryan Reynolds, John Krasinski, and Steve Carell. Although it does suffer from tonal imbalance and a slightly confusing plot, it serves its purpose well as wholesome family entertainment."

  • Imagination and comedy make IF a great family-friendly summer film

    "IF shows what happens to invisible friends after kids outgrow and forget about them. In the film Ryan Reynolds and a young girl attempt to matchmake these IFs with new kids to keep them alive. The movie’s real strength comes from the absolutely fantastic voice cast that includes Maya Rudolph, George Clooney, Emily Blunt, Matt Damon, and literally dozens more. Anyone who loved watching Don’t Look Under the Bed as kids will enjoy the similar tale in IF."
