Summary: Great acting, crazy plot
Review: I watched this movie because I'm a Victor Garber fan. He does not disappoint. However, I found this film to be extremely disturbing. Rita Wilson's character belonged in a mental institution. I expected her to get the help she needed but that didn't happen. Instead, they all went along with her fantasy. The fake funeral was the most disturbing scene. Did they really think Maggie's "death" would solve the problem? Crazy. Still, I give it 4 stars for the superb acting.

Summary: Interesting movie
Review: It was really interesting to see my favorite actor, Victor Garber, in this movie. He plays a married man who has two children. Well, three, if you count the invisible middle daughter (age 5) his wife has created. Their son, who's younger (4) really believes he has an invisible sister. The older daughter, who's maybe 8-10ish, and father play along with it.
The mother hires a nanny, who's kinda freaked out by this invisible child thing, but goes along with it. She's concerned about the effect this is having on the other children and talks to a psychiatrist. He refers her to social services, and she, being British, doesn't know what they do. When she hears that the kids might be taken away, she panics and leaves.
Meanwhile, the invisible daughter keeps getting sick and the social services lady is paying them visits.
Will she take the kids away? Watch this fun movie to find out. :-)

Summary: Only a Man with a Heart of Stone...
Review: My wife and I watched this, and laughed helplessly for the last fifteen minutes. The basic premise is so goofy, the actors so solemn, the whole approach so politically correct that it reminded me of Oscar Wilde's comment on the death of Dickens' "Little Nell": "Only a man with a heart of stone could read it without laughing."The "funeral" scene in particular left us in stitches. I only regret that the wife didn't look up into her husband's eyes and say, "I'm pregnant. And I think this one will be invisible, too."

Summary: Hmmm....
Review: This movie was kind of messed with my head. The main characters are a family of four and their nanny - problem is that Mom has created a 3rd child - in her head.
The entire movie revolves around the family's desire to apease mom in the psychotic delusions. It will really mess with your head to watch this unfold on screen.
The acting is great, but the content is disturbing.
