John Krasinski is most famously known for playing Jim Halpert on “The Office.” However, he’s also a movie director.

His last two movies, “A Quiet Place” and “A Quiet Place Part II”, were ones that would give kids nightmares.

In his latest movie, “If”, he tries to take them, and their parents, to a happy place instead.

“If” is the story of Bea, a 12 year old girl that has gone through a tragedy and is staring a potential one head on.

Her Dad is going through surgery for a heart problem.

However, she starts seeing mysterious figures, and Ryan Reynolds.

It turns out these mysterious figures are the former imaginary friends of different children.

They’re trying to inspire their former kids to remember them as their imaginary friends.

Along the way, Bea decides to help them do that.

Many kids have imaginary friends.

Maybe you did too.

If they were here they might steer you towards “If” or tell you it’s the worst movie ever.

Which one is it?

I give you at least my opinion about “If” in this episode.

“If” stars Ryan Reynolds, Cailey Fleming, John Krasinski, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Steve Carell, Fiona Shaw, Louis Gossett Jr., Alan Kim, Liza Colon-Zayas, Bobby Moynihan, Catharine Daddario and Audrey Hoffman.
