Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

fmdamcat Actually, I found this movie to be not only charming, but also true to life. My guy and I watched the movie together, and he actually enjoyed it, not so much for the romantic, "simple" plot, as for the down to earth portrayal of Joe. This movie is based on a true story, and, if you read the ending statements, it tells you about the real people. My guy was a Vietnam vet who has had Post Traumatic flashbacks, and he found this movie to be very interesting, especially the way they portrayed the scenes of Joe's flashback in the plane he was fixing up. He had known guys with Amnesia like this while in his hospital stay, after his 2 tours. The acting was great, the scenery was warm, and Corbin plays the Grandfather as only he could. And, yes, it was "romantic", and had a happy ending, with no blood, guts or cursing all too common in todays movies. Oh, By the way, I am originally from Iowa, not Hollywood California, and now I live in North Dakota. I had never even heard of this movie before accidentally getting it in a box of movies we bought online. I am very glad we got it, and plan on watching it again soon.

dabrauer I've seen some very harsh reviews of this movie so far. Although I have to agree with some of the points made, that the flow of the movie doesn't always seem to fit, and that some of the direction and the script could have been much better, I still enjoyed this film.I was very impressed with some of the production in this film, as I know it was low-budget. The scenery and costumes lend to a very lovely, vintage atmosphere. I enjoyed the acting between the principal characters. Considering that the script and direction left something to be desired I found it very impressive that the leads were able to produce some of the moments that they did.I was expecting to find this movie ridiculous and uninspiring, and no question, there were some moments where I was watching it thinking "what...?." Surprisingly, I found myself enjoying this movie quite a bit. Another reviewer called this movie "soap opera" but I thought that the emotion was extremely restrained, but poignant at the same time, and I think that's what I liked about it. This movie is a simple, sweet, heartfelt flick. If you're an incurable romantic, you'll probably enjoy it. I only wish that the screenwriters and scriptwriters and directors had given this movie a little more thought, more scenes, more well written scenes, and more time to play out, because the story,settings and characters were lovely.

intelearts While not dreadful Beautiful Dreamer is so clichéd and just predicable that it fails on every front.A simple tale of childhood love, that grew up, and get married. He then goes off to the Second World War and loses his memory (or has dissociative personality disorder) anyhoo he does not remember his previous life. When his wife's car breaks down and finds him in a small town, and he cannot remember her, there follows the inevitable tale of discovery and love reborn.We normally love romantic movies but this is too simple to really shine. The camera and lighting are all pretty basic and it all looks and feels like to belongs instantly on Hallmark.I cannot recommend this: it is just to saccharine, and the script lacks any depth of its complicated topic - all in all it felt barely OK, and barely romantic: just too predictable, linear, and made for TV values to shine.Sorry...not one for the heart or brain...

craig-mclaren Inspired by the James Hilton novel "Random Harvest" and the subsequent film staring Greer Garson and Ronald Coleman, this film explores the power of a young woman's determination to find her husband who went missing in World War II. Set in America's heartland of the late '40s, the film maintains the suspenseful romance of a film like "Titanic", yet has the low key visual texture of films such as Driving Miss Daisy or Fried Green Tomatoes.Claire, played by Brooke Langton, abandons common wisdom that she should give her husband up for dead and move on with her life. Instead, she spends all she has to find, then rehabilitate her husband who has no memory of his life prior to the war. It is a story of loyalty and courage that shows that the sexiest part of a woman is the contents of her heart.
