I was really excited for IF from previews. Good cast and a ton of potential to be a legendary kids movie. I think where this movie struggles is that it can't figure out if it's supposed to be a kids movie or an after school special about dealing with trauma and grief.
Another area that was annoying was in casting. Ryan Reynolds and Steve Carell are just really unable to be anything else in a movie. The same snark (no swearing) from Reynolds. Dude really just needs to stay in the Deadpool lane. Carell essentially was a big, purple, fluffy Gru.
The first 45 minutes were really rough. I'm not sure I heard a kid in my theater laugh until about 35 minutes in. Then it found a kids movie footing and I thought it might end strong. It almost stuck the landing, but then it just wanted to dive back into after school special territory.
I didn't hate it. It just isn't really the kind of movie that it's billed as.

... it would be this movie.
The movie literally steals a moment from Kill Bill part 2 near the end with Lopez dropping a very unconvincing "you got me" to her daughter.
Jennifer Lopez is a bad actress. Whoever is her acting coach is either bad at their job or stealing money... or both. People in entertainment really need to stop acting like she can carry a movie. She can't.
The writing is not good. The action scenes are lazy. The villain will make you laugh more than anything. The story genuinely doesn't make a lot of sense. How they pulled nearly two hours out of this is the only interesting thing about this movie. What a waste of my night.
