Imagine That (2009)

An American comedy directed by Karey Kirkpatrick, starring Eddie Murphy, Thomas Haden Church, Ronny Cox and Martin Sheen.
A stockbroker is too busy at work to spend time with his daughter and a co-worker is luring away his clients. When the daughter draws on her father's paperwork and the co-worker steals another group of clients, the stockbroker has a breakdown. He shows the child's drawings to the clients and interprets them into stock advice. It turns out that the advice was correct.
This was a mediocre, mainstream film that was not even that great. Not only that, but the video quality of the copy I watched was terrible. It looked like it had been made by pointing a camera at a television. Why I'm writing about it is because I had just finished reading David Icke's first book, Truth Vibrations (1991) in which he wrote about conversations with mediums and spirit channeling. The daughter in this film uses her "goo-gaa" or security blanket to contact imaginary friends who always provide correct stock tips. At one point, a female co-worker articulates it so accurately as a "securities blanket". The client-stealing co-worker even goes as far as to purchase an expensive and mystical blanket for his son, feed him energy drinks and use him for divination. What I would have really liked was a scene in which Eddie Murphy is depicted in his daughter's fantasy world. I rate this film adequate because some parts were funny and it matched what I was reading, but was otherwise mediocre and the video quality was bad.
