Movie : Invisible Child

This is a Lifetime movie, starring Tom Hanks' wife, the little boy from "The Ring" and the dad from "Alias." In it a mother believes she has an invisible child named Maggie. She has two real children. For some reason, her family has been playing along with this delusion for five years without seeking professional help. The movie does not mention what her extended family thinks of this decision. Things get complicated when they hire a nanny to help take care of their two (three) children.

Recommend? This movie is not a commedy. And yes, I recommend. It's the "Deadly Outbreak" of family dramas.

i remember sam got me to watch this years ago. it was on late one saturday night on the Knoxville UPN i think. they showed great, or weird, movies on there all the time. i kept asking if it was supposed to be funny, or if it was serious, and sam had apparently seen it before, and i think was just watching my reaction. my reaction was complete confusion. this could be the subtlest satire i've ever seen.
