My Dreams of You

I don't understand the low ratings. People complain the Hallmark romcoms are predictable and lacking in originality and then when they produce something different they criticize. Sure there are plot holes but I have seen large budget major motion pictures with plot holes. Movies like these are supposed to be enjoyed and an escape from life. I just watched this for the second time and enjoyed it again. I thought the leads had great chemistry. Sure you know they will somehow get together at the end but that is the genre. The supporting cast was great especially Cecilia Lee. Please someone, cast her in a lead role!

Grace McMahon (Skyler Samuels) keeps dreaming about Michael Roy (Kapil Talwalkar), but she doesn't know him. Dream Central is where dreams are created from the person's memories. New dream associate Alura has made a mistake after mixing up two tapes. Grace meeting Michael could wreck the world somehow. The solution would require her to agree to forget him. Instead, she looks him up in the real world.

This Hallmark movie has a really interesting idea. I would like more details on that idea. I want them to state what would happen if the situation goes wrong. I need them to set out the stakes. I like the Alura character growth and she could have been the central character to save the world. A bit of reworking and this could be a really fun concept.

I thoroughly enjoyed this Hallmark movie. It was different, cute, and quirky. The dream concept was an interesting surprise, and though totally different for the network, it was quite refreshing.

The main characters had chemistry, and I love that they were pursuing their creative dreams; I can relate to that. It's hard to do so when society expects you to do what is considered the life path norm. I was rooting for her to get on that train with him.

The ending was sweet and quite the happily ever after. I enjoyed the different types of stories and just enjoyed them for what they were: pure entertainment.

7.6 stars.

I liked this because it's a subtle twist on a familiar theme. It's about a woman who is fated (OR NOT) to meet a certain man. In this story she is dreaming about him. Next we are swept into a strange place where people's jobs are to regulate humans' dreams. It's a really weird attempt at a new rendition of angels working overtime to make sure fate and destiny are not knocked out of alignment.

So the rest is about a woman and a man that should never meet, and will they meet? Of course they will, otherwise this movie would be a bust. So there's no spoiler there. And after they meet, what will happen? That would be a spoiler, so I'll let you watch it and find out.

It's not bad. The twists were not too major, the acting is great, the writing is genius, the rest is good. The overall feeling is that this rounds up to 8 stars for me.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie, for the most part. It was a totally different kind of movie for Hallmark or at least one I've never seen before. I thought the story line was fun, different and well written. The cast including the support cast all did a great job and were well casted for their parts. We really enjoyed the lead actress as well as the dream writter gal, they were both adorable and we hope to see more of them in the future. The main reason for not giving this a rating of 8 is because of Michael (Kapil Talwalkar). I'm sorry, but this guy couldn't act his way out of paper bag. He took what was a really enjoyable movie for us, and made it almost hard to watch. While Skyler Samuel's seemed/portrayed a good chemistry with Kapil, it didn't seem like it was returned at all by him. He and his acting just seemed really cheesy and well, terrible. I really wish his part would have been given to someone or anyone else. All in all we did enjoy the movie, but with one change to the cast I think we could have really enjoyed it.
