Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)

Instead of pulling a cute bunny out of his hat, Mr. Magorium opened his hand to reveal a giant turd. Great casting could not save this poorly written master-piece of shit.

Do I really care if Natalie Portman will ever be able to live up to her potential on the piano? No! Do I really care if this Willie Wonka meets K-PAX freak show is an alien or just an eccentric pedophile? Not really. Was I rooting for the 37 year old man trapped inside a little boy's body, Magorium's sidekick, to succumb to a tragic toy related accident? Oh yes!

What really blows my mind is I loved the directors previous film: Stranger Than Fiction. Stay far away from this one.
