What Dreams May Come
(One out of Five Stars)
Do you like to be told how to feel while you’re watching a movie? If so, here’s yet another one for you! Just short of subtitles telling you what to feel and when, this film is so obvious in its audience manipulation that it feels like a stripper saying “I Love You” and expecting you to believe it. Much like the stripper, this film is after your money, not your true affection. It is a shame, because some rather interesting visual effects and artistic talents are wasted on this melodramatic nightmare. It is almost, and I mean almost, worth seeing just for some of the captivating and original imagery. However, with an obvious and cheap storyline carried by actors and actresses basically sleepwalking their way through the script, the redeeming visuals are buried in a quagmire of sap.
