Slight film has Dustin Hoffman as a magical toy store owner, Natalie Portman his assistant (who's struggling to write her first concerto, and actually never gets there), Jason Bateman an accountant and Zach Mills a boy who can't make friends. If you removed all the VFX, it wouldn't be a very long film, and therein lies part of the problem. As I was watching this I was thinking how sublime a children's film is The Railway Children, featuring no special effects. It also ends rather abruptly.
Nicely shot though, by Roman Osin.
