Summary: Adorable movie
Review: Although not many people have seen it, Bogus is an absolutely wonderful movie. It stars Haley Joel Osment (The Sixth Sense) as Albert, a boy who is forced to live with his godmother Harriet (Whoopi Golberg) after his mom dies. Along the way, he invents an invisible friend (Gerard Depardieu, The Man In the Iron Mask) named Bogus, and the film is basically about Albert and Harriet learning to love each other with the help of Bogus. Filled with subtle humor and superior acting by Osment, I highly recommend this film to anyone with an imagination.
A great family film, completely deserves 5 stars.

Summary: An uplifting story about a adorable resilient young boy.
Review: And do you think Leonard Maltin has any sort of fun whatsoever? This movie is lift-hearted, cute and a real feel good. If you can admire resilience in small children, see it.

Summary: Bogus
Review: Anyone who loved Haley Joel Osment in all his other roles will definitely love him in this! He's a little boy who loses his mother and ends up going to stay with his Godmother, Whoopie Goldberg, who normally is one of my Favorite Actress's, but in this movie I thought she was pretty cold hearted. Who could not love such a Sweet Little Boy. But thanks to Bogus, Gerard Depardieu, he changes her around to appreciate and love this wonderful and amazing boy. This is a movie that warms your heart, and makes you want to go and give your own children lots of love, or anyone else's. Haley Joel Osment once again gives a 5 Star Performance.

Summary: Very Satisfying
Review: BOGUS is a movie about a young orphan boy (Haley Joel Osment) who is reluctantly acquired by a career-minded temporary mother (Whoopi Goldberg). In his loneliness Osment invents an imaginary friend (Gerard Depardieu). The film is dominated by the interplay between these three characters and the result is very satisfying. The director is Norman Jewison who directed many other movies including IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT and JESUS CHRIST, SUPERSTAR.

Summary: 5 Stars for Haley Joel Osment, 3 for the movie
Review: Haley Joel Osment is really a fantastic actor. But the movie deserves only 3 stars. I thought the concept is very interesting and has a real potential to be a moving family movie. Unfortunately, the movie failed to develop the potential to the fullest.

Summary: Quality Family Film
Review: I agree with the viewer from Marshfield; "Bogus" is a terrific family film with good performances. This is a film that "respects" the audience and doesn't talk down to them. It is funny, intelligent, and touching. Director Norman Jewison (Moonstruck, Fiddler on the Roof) does it again. Highly recommended.

Summary: A Great Movie
Review: I think Bogus is a great movie. I never saw it in the theater because I didn't like the title and I think obviously a lot of other people felt the same way I did about the title and didn't go see it for that, too. Albert (Haley Joel Osment) has to go live with his godmother, Harriet (Whoppi), that no one knew existed until Albert's mom was killed in a car accident. At first, Harriet doesn't like the idea of him coming to live with her and what seems to bother her most is that he is white and she's black. His mom's death was very sad for him and then going to live with some stranger in New York probably made everything worse. So Albert ends up metting an imaginary friend, Bogus, that no one can see but him. Even though I dont like the title, the movie makes up for it and everyone should go see it cause it is a great movie!
