A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

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

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

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.

This movie was a lot of things;well written well developed well informed well directed well performedwere five things it was not.After reading the reviews it has come to my attention that this movie is thought to be "inspirational" and "real" by many of its viewers. As far as "inspirational" goes, its value lies more in "inspiring" bad writers/actors to keep on applying for production grants as this film is evident that someone will fund your work no matter how bad.As for 'real' this film reeked of artifice, everything from the every day "day to day" problems that caused family rifts to the big existential dilemmas and crappy, angsty cynicism of Anna. If this film dealt with any of the 'real' issues then everybody should lay back, relax, as it seems we've nothing to worry about.In regards to the films representation of 'disability' anyone hoping for a relevant and informed piece will be disappointed. I am amazed this film was produced in the 21st century. I've seen 1970 films that were more politically savvy then this. Colin Bickley, a round of applause for having set a new high standard of 'crap' to Christian programming. I would have gotten more out of the porn videos the brother was watching.

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.

You look at all these sex soaked, profanity filled, and bloody movies and you say to your self " Why can't their be a movie out there without this crap?" This movie is that movie and if you love to watch good sex free movies, then you'll love this one. I give this movie a deservable 10/10.
