did I miss something?

A magical toystore. Fantasy land for children.

I usually love such films, but this one, for some unknown reason, just didn't do it for me. The two actors I usually enjoy watching, Hoffman & Portman, I felt were overacting, and I actually disliked Portman's character right from the start; Hoffman's character was obnoxious; and Bateman was, simply put, idiotic and cliched.

The only thing that saves the movie are the toys.

I must have missed something that makes the movie so great. Everyone else seems to have enjoyed it. I found it boring even after 20 minutes of watching, and found myself longing for the movie to end.
