Wonderful character development!

Memorable, crazy movie

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Such a heartwarming story about friendship and life's true values. What an amazing film! This is definitely a "do not miss".

It is extremely rare that I stop on any movie while channel-surfing. This one caught my eye because of Haley Joel Osmont...this kid was amazing even at five years old! And of course Whoopi is great as always. I even liked Gerard in this one...he generally just rubs me the wrong way in his other movies for some reason. He was perfectly cast as Mr. Bogus.This movie will be magical for those who remember (or who need to remember) those imaginary friends which got us through various growing pains. It is sweet, light-hearted, and rates 10 out of 10 on the "warm-fuzzy" factor. Even my husband thought it was cute, and he's not normally into these kind of movies. Loved it!

It is definitely one of my favorites, the actors all did an extraordinary job, and it's something many can relate to, but what got me the most was the music and Cirque influences. I absolutely love Cirque du Soleil. In the credits a Cirque du Soleil song is mentioned, but I wasn't able to write it down. I know it's from the show "Saltimbanco". If anyone knows it, do tell me.

I must confess I only watched this movie because I found out it starred a younger still talented Haley Joel Osment. 'Prodigy' is the word that comes to mind. His few less years doesn't seem to take any of the talent from his performances.And he's a magician to boot. I dabble in magic and was able to realize that none of the tricks he performed were trick photography or any other aid assisted. Each one is deftly presented by Osment's own little hands.I, on the other hand, didn't watch this movies for Goldberg or Depardieu. I've never really like their movies with the exception: The Man in the Iron Mask (for Depardieu) and Ghost (for Whoopi). Ironically, BOTH are very great movies. That said, these two actually did have great roles, performances, direction for this movie. I found myself enjoying each of their performances. Neither one took themselves too seriously and that was the magic.Overall a cute, enjoyable, and fun movie. Especially for H.J. Osment fans. Cute kid. 8/10 pts. 2 taken for some difussion of the focus of the plot.P.S. I just remembered I also like kind of 'Sister Act' and Whoopi's role on 'Star Trek: TNG'. I guess she's pretty good. thank you.
