Nice story with the message to always think positive and know what you want.
Well acted with enjoyable characters. Although you of course know what will happen in the next scene and how the whole story will end, you just sit, watch and enjoy...

What a nice movie! Very well acted, funny, romantic and uplifting.
I read the book and can confirm from my way of life that the quantum physics of the law of attraction, our thoughts create our life, is definitely working. It is not forceful in this movie though, just seeds planted here and there.. gentle and soft like the warm sunshine in the spring..
This movie is for everyone, anytime, with or without popcorn! Enjoy!

Really well done and great story, but it could be a Hallmark movie except for high rated actors. That's why I gave it an 8. Worth every penny I spent to rent it.
Based on Rhonda Byrne's bestselling self-help book, Andy Tennant's 'The Secret: Dare to Dream' is a basic family drama at its core. It's about as clichéd as it gets. However, the movie itself is totally harmless and fine and, at times, even moving. And despite telling a story that basically deals with exploring the power of positive thoughts, the writing never gets preachy or overbearing. The performances from Katie Holmes and Josh Lucas are both effective with the rest of the cast also putting in fine performances.
Seriously, how cynical and jaded do you have to be to hate this movie so bad you give it less than 5 stars? OK, so it's not a blockbuster and it is predictable, but it gives a spot on message for the times. It's the perfect antidote to the current pandemic age, and a refreshing change to the ultra-violent trash currently filling the minds of our screens today. We enjoyed it as a family without having to worry about anything inappropriate or upsetting. Just enjoy it for what it is- a feelgood movie that encourages us to be better. What's so wrong about that?
