At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I got this film out because, well it looked interesting with a decent storyline, however from the start to the finish the only highlight of the movie was when I fell asleep at the end. It reminded me of one of those t.v programs such as Dawson's creek or one tree hill etc, except the only difference was this went on far too long. I didn't sympathize to the main character, instead she irritated the hell out of me. and not being rude, but realistic, how can someone with those breasts actually do gymnastics? if anything that was the cause of her accident. Overall this film bugged and bored me, the plot was going no where, the acting was cliché, this movie doesn't even deserve to be called a movie.

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.

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.

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.
