I was pretty excited when I heard this movie was coming out. I loved Alexis Knapp and Hanna Lee in the Pitch Perfect movies. And Leonardo Nam wasn't bad in the Sisterhood of traveling pants movies. I even sought it out when I saw it was released. However, I have to say they wasted these actors on what feels like an unfinished script. If you have seen the MASH episode Dreams, this basically a movie version of that episode as 5 different characters have their worst fears realized in their dreams. The only real difference is in this film is we find out that the government is making the characters have their bad dreams. And while this has potential, the movie never really engaged me. I won't spoil anything, but I was very underwhelmed by it all. The acting wasn't great, and I have a hard time finding most of the dreams believable. For instance, who is scared of middle school kids?
Additionally, Alexis Knapp is barely in the movie! They did her dirty by making her part so small :(. Also, the writing is terrible, and the ending is so sloppy you would think a middle school kid came up with it. Now I don't want to be too harsh because there is a chance this movie's filming got cut short due to Covid-19 because it was really short, and another 30 minutes would've really helped it tell a complete story. But with that said, I feel like they really needed to do some rewrites before publishing this movie because it feels like only half a movie.
