Bogus
Imaginary friends are good to have around until you need to move furniture across town.
Thankfully, the orphan in this fantasy doesn't have much in the way of physical baggage to relocate.
After a car crash claims his mother, 7-year-old Albert (Haley Joel Osment) is shipped from Las Vegas to New Jersey to live with his new guardian Harriet (Whoopi Goldberg).
To stay amused while he gets accustomed to his new surroundings, Albert dreams up a lively French performer, Bogus (Gérard Depardieu), to deliver the Vegas-style entertainment he enjoyed with his mother. But things get interesting when Bogus becomes real.
While this 1996 family feature tries to tackle childhood grief, its schmaltzy script and asinine acting gets in the way. In fact, Bogus becomes more of an annoyance than an emotional aide pretty fast.
Besides, every French performer - imaginary or not - drinks way too much wine to be around children. Red Light
