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!

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.

"My Dreams of You" sees the protagonist Grace McMahon dreaming about an unknown man, Michael, and falling for him in their dreams. The only problem is that he, a real musician called Michael Roy, has no idea who she is. Clearly someone in Dreamland must have screwed up a bit...Fortunately destiny always fixes itself if not interfered with.

I really enjoyed this Hallmark movie, the perfect mix of romance, fantasy and everyday life struggles. Especially in this age of anxiety and loss of innocence & love, a bit of romance and dreamy fantasies is nothing but welcomed. The dream factory and its workers are also nice addings. It also has a positive message, something that more "mainstream" movies don't have anymore, so it's great.

The cast is well assembled, the main protagonists are amazing and they're able to actually talk to their audience with their performances and thus are believable in their struggles between a gray life and colorful dreams. So, after the new Aurora Teagarden series, Skyler Samuels really nails another amazing film for Hallmark.

This is definitely the type of healthy filmmaking that we need, not those big bloated production from Tinseltown. It means the movement it's still alive and kickin'.

And finally it's worth mentioning the deep relation highlighted here between dreams and everyday life: they can influence our destiny and make us also change they lifes of other people around us. So it's better not to mess around with fate and let it follow its course!

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.

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.
