I just watched this movie last night on DVD. My first reaction to this was - Wow this movie is aout a little girl who talks to demon spirit guides and has two parents who don't want anything to do with her. How sad and frighthening.

Yes an imagination is a beautiful thing! But the girl in the movie is clearly turning to and talking to spirit guides for comfort because her parents are having troubles. The first time in the movie when the parents are together they are arguing in front of the child as to why neither one of them should take the responsibility of taking care of her for the week. Dad loses the argument.

What is supposed to be the exciting part of the movie is actually dad doing whatever it takes to get his daughter to give him stock information from her spirit guides. The movie is about Dad's transition from caring about his daughter's spirit guides',to caring about his daughter.

A reviewer should be brighter than the movie being reviewed. The "princesses" and "queen" have advanced business knowledge because Oliva DOES LISTEN to her father. The early confrontation of father accussing daughter of not listening, and her insistance that she does listen, is central to the entire story. Olivia echoes back to her father what he is finding in his research, drawing conclusion by listening to him as he works.

This might be one of the most subtle details in film since the Sixth Sense.
