Ilusão de Amor

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?

I love this film, have watched and rewatched. I love Alyssa Milano in everything she does. Eric Winter I have not seen enough of and wish I could see him in lots more. His expressive acting is lovely and so convincing. Would recommend this film for an escape away from the worries of life, it gives you a warm feeling.

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.

I wasn't sure what to expect with this movie since I haven't read the book. I was pleasantly surprised however! From the moment the movie started I was enthralled with the characters. Who didn't have an imaginary friend as a kid? Pretty much everyone did. Jane was a lovely, if a bit confused, character... a very everyday sort of woman. And Michael! Well, since I haven't read the book I don't know if Eric Winter truly captured the character or not but if he is anything like how he is portrayed then I am going to love him.

This movie gets an A in my book. I would recommend it to anyone who likes an innocent romance.

like every romantic comedy. because it is nothing more than only one of comfortable and soft romantic comedy, using the same recipes, the right cast, the seductive story. and this is it. the only spice who gives a shadow of different flavor is the imaginary friend. sure, a catch, not original but beautiful. for the reference to the childhood of many viewers. for the aspects of modern airy tale. so, a not bad film, a reasonable choice for the not admirers of romantic movies, a simple - simple story in sauce of humor, few drops of emotion and the expected /absurde end. and that is all.
