Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall
Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
nevermindthebaldocks I Hired this movie because i thought it's subject matter provided an excellent opportunity for a powerful and moving film. I watched it with three other people and we could not believe how poor it was. It had some ridiculously corny lines and the main character, who happened to have the biggest breasts ever for a gymnast, was barely bothered about her new disability other than a one line complaint to God each morning before getting out of bed. The other story lines were equally poorly handled. I have searched my memory and I can not remember ever watching a worse film.
shanfloyd Average story, average script, average acting... but that don't deny this film's inspirational value. The filmmakers did well to keep the story real by refraining from showing miracles. The paraplegic protagonist and narrator of the film Anna is played well enough by Lindsey Felton, though her figure is not, let's say suitable, for a gymnast. The other actors, especially the kid who played Anna's porn-addicted brother, also did satisfactory jobs.In order to keep itself real, the story got also boring in the middle and viewers might lose interest for that. I was able to sit through it and I don't really regret it. These films are often good for a change.
stephenthorley Anna's Dream is a film about Anna, a high school senior who is coming to grips with her new life as a paraplegic, after a fall during a gymnastics competition. The movie really seems to deal more, with how Anna's family and school friends try and deal with their own awkwardness around Anna. There are a few funny scenes where Anna's friends embarrass themselves by trying to be too P.C. Unfortunately this film could have been so much better if it had of stuck with telling the story of Anna. But I feel that it is some what distracted by the subplot of Anna's brother and his porn fetish/addiction. Which in it's self would make a funny movie but it really has no real relevance to Anna's story.To sum it up, Anna's Dream is one of those films that isn't going to be everyones cup of tea. But if you liked 'Amelie' I am sure you will like this one.
Deenagoucher You look at all these sex soaked, profanity filled, and bloody movies and you say to your self " Why can't their be a movie out there without this crap?" This movie is that movie and if you love to watch good sex free movies, then you'll love this one. I give this movie a deservable 10/10.
