Aussie boy's thoughts
The Secret: Dare to Dream is a rather entertaining drama centring the impacts of positive mindsets. However, the romantic aspect is predictable and always feels needless. It slowly appears throughout a fascinating plot relating to a kind stranger lending help and comfort to a widow. It was foreseeable that there was going to be some sort of passionate love, but a singularly obvious theme thankfully does not destroy how uplifting the film is.
If anything is surely noticeable about this book adaptation, it’s the comfort, coziness and spirit. Dare to Dream is a brilliant family feature worth saving for a snuggly-blankets movie-night. Again, the story is very nice and the characters are very likeable and appealing.
It’s also the dramatic situations saved for the last 30 minutes that are very average components for family-targeted romance-dramas, although the film paces well towards the satisfying ending. Understandably, some people and even children will find the movie’s focus quite dumb, but The Secret achieves what it was meant to do, without deserving big rewards or too much praise. It’s really kind of uneasy to believe that the uplifting messages somehow had an impact on some people.
