The presentation of the trailer reeks of attempting to claim that so-imporant indie credibility, from a varied soundtrack of desperation throughout the trailer to quirky character presentations. Guess what - it might have worked. Acclaim from Sundance and the Philidalphia Film Festival make this look like it could be this years ILittle Miss Sunshinei, right down to stealing Oscar nominations in just a few months.

Well, first of all, Natalie Portman seems a little old to be playing the girl Magorium is giving his shop to. Even from the trailer it leaves a bad taste, like that moppet Dakota Fanning might have been better casting.
