Obviously The Last Mimzyis a New Line frat party but certainly these guys are not the strongest of talents either with the camera or the pen.

Shaye even enlisted New Line-contracted executive producer Toby Emmerich to co-write the script with Bruce Joel Rubin who has really never risen above his claim-to-fame Ghost. Now while I’ve always suspected studio heads are all frustrated filmmakers shelling out the big bucks does not a director make. You see his job up to this point has been running New Line Cinema as its co-founder. As Alice in Through the Looking Glass puts it “Somehow seems to fill my head with ideas-only I don’t exactly know what they are!” Apparently neither does director Robert Shaye. These two should definitely play more on-screen couples. The only actors who look like they are having any fun are Rainn Wilson ( The Office) as Noah’s quirky science teacher and Kathryn Hahn ( Crossing Jordan) as Larry’s New-Age-y fiancé who is able to shed some light on what’s happening to the kids. As for the adults Richardson and Hutton are also fairly nondescript as the hapless parents while Michael Clarke Duncan looks utterly lost as the big bad government guy who just wants to get to the bottom of what he perceives as a possible terrorist threat. Their cutesy affectations could be as much director Robert Shaye’s fault as anything else since kids need guidance-but more on that later. But newbies O’Neil and Wryn really don’t have those innate acting skills even if they exhibit moments of valid emotions. We’ve become accustomed to super-kids who can genuinely act their way out of a paper bag. Part of Mimzy’s problem unfortunately stems from the stiff performances especially from the young actors. Slapping on an environmental message IS the latest craze after all. As Noah and Emma start exhibiting paranormal behavior–including blacking out their city for a few minutes-their parents ( Joely Richardson and Timothy Hutton) grow more concerned especially when Mimzy turns out to be more than just a toy armed with a serious warning about mankind’s future. We meet 10-year-old Noah Wilder ( Chris O’Neil) and his younger sister Emma ( Rhiannon Leigh Wryn) who find a mysterious box on the beach that contains some strange devices they think are toys including a beat-up stuffed toy rabbit who Emma calls Mimzy.

Kuttner and Moore believed the poem may have actually been a communication with hidden meaning from the future so the movie expands on this idea. Moore (who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Padgett) The Last Mimzy makes reference to Lewis Carroll’s famous nonsensical poem “Jabberwocky” which appeared in his novel Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There. Based on a 1943 short story “Mimsy Were the Borogroves” by Henry Kuttner and his wife C.L.
