This film in no way is offensive to anyone including my friend with any mental illness. It was super-funny and shows how a young girl got revenge in funny ways on her cold, unloving, cruel mother who totally messed up her life. People who had a cruel childhood can relate to this movie and find a lighter side to their dark past. It was written about an imaginary friend who causes trouble and in no way whatsoever refers to mental illness. I give this movie 10 stars for the comedic story line.
