Un rêve trop loin

I only watched this movie for one reason, and she now plays a witch on the WB. Based on a true story, this story shows off both the beauty and the risks of Alaska. Survival is the name of the game as Alyssa Milano and Cameron Bancroft get on each others tempers as they try to reach civilization when their contact forgets them. Sustaining on toothpaste, they also learn a lot more about each other as they learn to depend on each other than if they had just lived together. The ending is predictable, but you don't know how it happens or when. Just when the ending became obvious, someone could have injected some dark comedy and a twist as Milano was found alone with the dog cooking a meaty broth as her rescuers catch up with her. "Like some ?" she could ask with an evil glint in her eyes.

this movie is not supposed to be funny.

i can just see alyssa milano doing her makeup commercials for that bare minerals thing and then have someone show clips from her in this movie -- she would be completely mortified.

the reason i like this movie: the acting is highly entertaining. i have NO freaking clue how the actors got through this script without dying of laughter. i mean seriously -- i want to make love with you on this beach for 24 hours and then he says to her - yeah but we have a lot of work to do tomorrow so we better not. SLAM! seriously - if you watch this with a big group of people and make fun of it, it's totally worth the 2 bucks that you pay for it at BIG LOTS.

oh and i love how she's freezing at one point - and she's in a TANK TOP. how about you put a jacket on?

oh yeah - and the guy was a total and complete jerk to her! or at least that's how it was portrayed.

and the line where he says 'there's a wolf out there' oh my gosh i never laughed so hard in my life when she says to him 'well hello go get your gun and shoot it - we have to eat!' even though the whole stupid time she's been talking about how she doesn't eat meat and she is craving a veggie burger with fries.

and the thanksgiving line! who cares about thanksgiving when you are going to have ZERO food to eat!

I was genuinely scared for them...

An event like this can send anyone into an insane journey of survival. Both of these people went through a lot after trying to go on to Alaska in a search for gold, but like always, anyone can go through anything worse enough while being far away from home. Traveling can be worrisome at certain times.

Both Roger and Denise go to Alaska not knowing how much troubling things make their journey difficult. Maybe even scary enough.

This whole film made me extremely nervous for both of them. This is based on a true story after all, and both stars Alyssa Milano and Cameron Bancroft put on incredible performances, as the real life survivors known as Denise Harris and Roger Lewis. I highly recommend this a lot!

It will have you and your nerves feeling going through things you never expect, but worth it 👌

Ex-policeman Roger Lewis (Cameron Bancroft) and ex-waitress Denise Harris (Alyssa Milano) believe they have been given the chance of a lifetime when run down entrepreneur Wylie Bennett (Duncan Fraser) approaches them with a business proposition filled with wealth and adventure. With money on their minds, they leave their old lives behind to embark on an Alaskan journey to investigate an old deserted gold mine for forgotten treasures. Although the fortune is to be split three ways, Wylie leaves the dirty work to the ambitious pair with a promise to deliver food and supplies. When a violent storm strikes and supplies run dry, the starving and inexperienced explorers valiantly battle the treacherous Alaskan coast in a struggle for survival. With prospects for rescue dwindling by the hour, the two manage to devise one last plan that will either save their lives or leave them stranded in an endless wilderness of ice and snow.

The fight for survival in extreme conditions is the main theme of this movie. Caught by a violent storm while they are hundreds of miles away from the nearest town,a couple of explorers is forced to turn their weaknesses into strengths in order to survive.
