Nice effects though.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

only catch - the idea of childhood imaginary friend. but it is a poor idea. because it is a common romance. not smart, not nice, not inspired. only stage for few actors and a predictable final. it is difficult to say if it is good or bad. the difference is result of soul state but it may be almost nice. only for charm of Alissa Mylano or for fans of Eric Winter/ Ivan Sergei. it is too long and confuse. pink, soft and unrealistic. strange and not clever. without usual spices. but nice. like many, too many others. in fact, only question remains : why Tiffany's ? why this strange game with the poor imaginary friend? but it is not time or place for answers. enjoy it ! and few tears can be at right place.

As child we all have a 'Michael'. Especially when life is difficult. Here it was, and still is twenty years later, the ego centered mother and now Janes ego centered fiancé Hugh. The little girl Jane is heartbroken at Tiffany's elevator when Michael, her little 'imaginary' friend, leaves: "I have no choice. So are the rules." It is time to leave and return to the magic world, for the next task. From now on the girl Jane must go on alone. But: general rules can sometimes be sidestepped - what this movie and the book tells. Why returns Michael? He does not know. And the irritated Jane does not believe that he is her childhoods 'imaginary friend'. But the forgotten yesterdays details lets her accept: Micheal is her 'imaginary friend' from yesterday. Michael tells Janes mother: "You haven't changed." And Janes successful ego-driven fiancé Hugh is unable to see what is behind the 'organized' Jane: "She is organized." Michael is her glasses, letting her see that Hugh sees only those parts of her that match his own style of life. Michael helps her with the details of her coming wedding with Hugh: the right wedding dress, the right flowers, the wedding cake: all those details, needed for a wedding. While Hugh is absent, not realizing that Michael does what he should do as her future husband. Jane realizes this in church: turns and rushes off. Sitting in her now useless wedding dress, chosen by Michael, on a bench by herself, alone, ready for the final moment of the happy end. And it happens. Michael returns: "When you where a little girl I came to you as you needed me. I came back because I need you. I don't exist without you." Them in the magic world knew this all the way but had him to discover the truth himself. And Jane: "What about the rules?" Michael answering: "The rules are made to be broken."

I see a good many movies on DVD and I have lately ventured into the rom- com field without much happiness or success. Movies in this genre are really intended as date movies that the girl drags the boy too so she can live out some fantasy time. This movie is supposed to be a fantasy from childhood come to life, but there is very little life in it. The imaginary friend who comes to rescue the lead character just as she is about to marry a self centered actor is likable enough, since he isn't obnoxious, but just about nothing else about the movie makes sense. Why is the imaginary friend able to stay in the real world beyond his supposed departure time? How did he know to come back? Why is there a little black kid popping up and advising him on the rules of imaginary friends?If he has come back to rescue this girl, why doesn't he say so straight out? Oyvay! Who cares? Dumb and sappy, this movie really stinks. At least it follows one of the key unwritten rules of rom-coms: everything happens in New York City. You can have rom and you can have com, but if you want both, its gotta be in the Big Apple, right?

Delightful premise. Eric Winter does a very good job playing an innocent child-like spirit in an adult body. He plays those scenes with zest and energy. The script has some cute scenes and dialogue based on that premise. Eric Winter and Alyssa Milano have excellent chemistry as best friends.There are some clichés in this film: The fiancé is a selfish and vain man, who does not appreciate the protagonist's true self. The protagonist gave up on her dreams and took a safe boring path through life. Not every scene works but still a pleasant film.Stockard Channing is a great performer, but this role does not use her superlative talent.Alyssa Milano plays down her sexiness to play a regular career girl. She is quite good in this role.
