I saw IF, starring Cailey Fleming-The Walking Dead_tv, Peppermint; John Krasinski-Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan_tv, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness; Ryan Reynolds-the Deadpool movies, Green Lantern and Fiona Shaw-Killing Eve_tv, the Harry Potter movies.

This is a NFFF-Nice Family Friendly Film. Just in case you didn't know, the IF title of the movie stands for Imaginary Friends. It's written, directed and stars John Krasinski. John plays Cailey's father, a single parent that gets sick after loosing his wife. Cailey has to stay with her grandmother Fiona, while John is in the hospital. Cailey meets Ryan in Fiona's apartment building, who introduces her to some Imaginary Friends and tells her that his job is to find homes for the IFs. Either with their original grown up kids or with some new kids that need them. It seems that when most people grow up, they don't need their IFs anymore. There are a lot of cameo voices for the IFs; I remember hearing Steve Carell, Emily Blunt, Awkwafina, George Clooney, Bradley Cooper & Matt Damon, just to name a few. There is a nice twist near the end and a message of hope.

It's rated PG for mild language and thematic content and has a running time of 1 hour & 44 minutes.

I enjoyed it and it would be a good one to stream.
