First off, it should be noted that this is NOT A LIVE DOCUMENTARY! It appears that it is a story about a woman who was venturing into madness, but then recovers. Why did she recover? Possibly because she began to realize the pain she was causing her family; and possibly because an outsider (the nanny) had entered the picture and somehow this triggered Mrs. Beeman towards reality. One really does not know why or how she recovered, but she does.
The plot involves a family of four, an imaginary child, and a nanny. The story focuses on the heartbreak of mental illness. A woman (The wife and mother of the movie) believes she has three children, when in reality, she only has two. Her husband, two children, and eventually a nanny, pretend along with her. The make-believe child is called "Maggie." Mrs. Beeman (the wife and mother of this story) has a gentle and kind personality so this may be the reason why others in the family simply go along with her and act as though it is true concerning a third child.
Everyone one of the actors and and actresses gives a heartfelt performance, especially Rita Wilson (the woman with the illness) and "Doc."
If one is looking for a tender and heartfelt movie with a good ending, they may want to try watching this movie. It will bring out the compassionate side of some who feel the pain of others, and best of all, it has a good ending.
