The first time I knew this movie existed, I found it movie in the DVD section at my local library. I never heard about it... never saw a trailer anywhere... never saw or read any reviews about it anywhere. So I borrowed it because Haley Joel Osment was in it, whom I think is a wonderful child actor. What an absolutley delightful and beautifully crafted movie this is. Others before told you of the plot. I will just say this: HOW can such a gem have been so inadequately promoted or recognized?? Why has it been kept so secret? But, like a true treasure, this film sparkels. Everything in it works so well: casting, direction, acting, music, visuals.... it is a masterpiece! This is how a movie is supposed to be made. Wonderful... simply wonderful!

"Bogus"
rating: 5
This movie is well written and performed. Very insightful into the thinking of children and adults. Wonderfully funny and very entertaining. Great casting of Whoopi, Gerard Depardieu and Haley Joel Osment (who will steel your heart). I cannot imagine this movie with anyone of these actors not in those parts. THEY ARE PERFECT.

Nothing "Bogus" about this film except the title
rating: 4
How does anyone cope with a situation that's almost intolerable? In young Albert's (Osment) case, he invents an imaginary friend "Bogus" (Depardieu) when his Mom dies and he's forced to move from familiar Las Vegas to New Jersey with a Godmother, Harriet, (Goldberg) that he's never met before.
But, Bogus isn't just a figment of Albert's imagination. He's a just a part of the magic that connects us all.
"Bogus" is a film that both parents and kids can enjoy. It's warm, funny, and worthwhile. I think Osment and Depardieu have to be one of the best acting teams ever. Whoopi Goldberg is always a delight.

Whoopie!! Need anyone say more? No matter what she does, it is done with taste and humor. Even when the language gets a little blue, I have to ignor it and enjoy her acting ability. I am in the process of finding all of her many movies on Amazon, and ordering them one or two at a time. Many thanks for having one of the lesser known ones-Bogus-I have been searching for it for years. It really touches your heart and fills you with laughter. Yours as usual, Patricia A. Adams

Really cut movie
rating: 4
Why do some of you think Whoopi's character didn't like the boy because he was white? I'm pretty sure his mom was white and she and Whoopi were friends!
This is such a cute movie. I just love the little boy and the way he acts.
