Jane Claremont (Emily Alyn Lind) has imaginary friend Michael. Her mother Vivienne (Stockard Channing) takes her to Tiffany's for her 10th birthday. It's time for Michael to leave her. Twenty years later, Jane (Alyssa Milano) is marrying TV star Hugh Morrison (Ivan Sergei) when her imaginary friend Michael (Eric Winter) reappears. He's sure that she needs him for some reason. She doesn't believe him and seeks help from her psychiatrist friend Jaqueline (Kristin Booth).This Lifetime TV movie has an intriguing premise. With Tiffany's being such a prominent landmark in the story, this needs to be shot in NYC especially the exterior shots. As for the story, Hugh needs to be more of a douche. Other than being self-obsessed, he doesn't seem to be horribly bad. There has to be a bigger reason for Michael to return. As for falling in love with Michael, there needs to be a more in-depth look into the life of imaginary friends. The intriguing premise should lead to something more compelling than this.
... View Moreonly 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.
... View MoreI thought this was an enjoyable movie. Yes, the ending was fairly predictable, as most of these type movies are, but I enjoyed it. I didn't know this was based on a book and evidently it doesn't follow it very closely and most people who've read it didn't care for the movie. If you don't know about the book, the movie is good. I did notice several goofs (I'm not giving away anything at all about the storyline, so I don't consider these spoilers): in a scene where Jane goes to a restaurant to find Michael, she speaks with the hostess and as the camera flips between the two women, Jane's scarf is around her neck and then hanging down. It goes back and forth about 5 times during the conversation. Also, the previews for the movie show parts of scenes that don't actually happen in the movie. The preview of Michael in front of the cab has the cab driver saying "we can all see you" and he never says that in the actual movie. Also, the preview shows a brief clip of Jane and Michael dancing 'the robot' in a bar, and in the movie, she doesn't get up until he is done dancing.
... View MoreReality and fantasy are the major themes here which seem to connect. Imagine that her imaginary boyfriend leaves her at age 10, and resurfaces 20 years later when she is about to wed a Broadway legend, who is also Hollywood bound. The guy is a hunk and a writer to the bargain as well.When imaginary friend Michael resurfaces after all these years, he can be seen by everyone and immediately there is jealousy between the couple as Michael intervenes.This is a tale of true love, gone awry and with the old theme of following your basic instincts.Stockard Channing co-stars as the successful mother of Jane, who was abandoned by her own husband years before.The story is really somewhat hard to take. The last scene where Jane walks out at her wedding reminded me of 1967's "The Graduate." At least, that was reality based. We might have even needed Mrs. Robinson to heat things up.
