The start of the film seems to set up the film as a good child gone bad due to TV/computer violence. The end of the film narrator implies that children copy adults. But the child has dillusions via an imaginary friend so he must have mental issues, right ? Doesn't this render the childs perceptions of the world invalid ? This makes the whole film invalid in its approach to the media/parenting producing violent offspring or children copying adults. The film itself is okay to watch if you you forget that a young delusional child that doesn't get its own way to watch TV, finally watches TV and then becomes violent because he listens to his imaginary friend after seeing TV programs showing violence.
