When "In My Dreams" Turns Into Reality (2014)

Director: Kenny Leon

Cast: Katharine Mc Phee, Mike Vogel, JoBeth Williams, Joe Massingill, Rachel Skarsten, Antonio Cupo Jessalyn Wanlim

Genre: Romance, Fantasy

When Natalie (Katharine Mc Phee) and Nick (Mike Vogel) threw coins into the Hayward Fountain, they started dreaming about each other. They started falling in love in dreams. According to the myth, the dreams will last for seven consecutive nights and the couple should turn that dreams into reality. Will they find  each other?

This movie moved me big time. At first, I was not really excited of the title because I was thinking it was just some kind of random romantic movies with a typical plot. But as I continued watching, I can't take my eyes off the screen. The plot amazed me. I actually had goose bumps every time I anticipate for the next scenes. This movie is not one of those cliches. It has substance and perfect for Valentine treat for couples.

It is a slow paced movie but it is not boring. You will surely be gasping for air in anticipation of what will happen next. Also, I got my fair share of laughter to some funny dialogues. Funny lines in this movie give a breath of fresh air for the romantic ambiance.

I only have one silly observation from it: When Nick and Natalie are dreaming about each other, they should not touch or else they will wake up. However, in one of their dreams, they were walking and I noticed their arms brushed each other but the dream continued.

I gave this a thumbs up. I could say that you don't need to dream first before meeting your soul mate. The important thing is the love and commitment you have for each other. A wishing fountain is not only the basis for love. The lesson I learned from this movie is when you get a chance to fight for your feelings, do it the soonest or else it will be too late.
