I Dream Too Much

I do think this had the potential to be something really great. Unfortunately, it never gets there. It doesn't even come close. The acting in this is really fine and solid, and the characters have the outline for being great but what really stops the film from becoming that much more interesting is that the story doesn't always allow them to feel like real people, no matter how good the actors are trying. I don't just want to focus on the negatives however. It's still very watchable and walks a fine line between being obnoxious and endearing (just like its lead character, which I do admit I have to warm up to) but ultimately lands on the positive side. One can do worse than see this film, but one could also do better.
