The Secret: Dare To Dream Movie
Yesterday I watched a movie that, if you haven’t seen it: The Secret, Dare To Dream, I think you might enjoy it.
There is no crime, really no sadness that is not bittersweet, and it is a love story, I found. The kind of movie I normally don’t watch.
But I know that many of you out there would welcome such a movie in your life. One with a happy ending.
You can see it on Amazon Prime Video.
Starring Katie Holmes, Josh Lucas, & Jerry O’Connell:
Ironically, this movie also stars Katie Holmes, the actor I wrote about yesterday. That was a much sadder movie. This movie may make you cry, so grab the Kleenex, but they will be happy tears.
The Secret: Dare to Dream is a 2020 American film based on the 2006 self-help book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. It stars Katie Holmes, Josh Lucas, Jerry O’Connell, and Celia Weston.
Miranda Wells (Katie Holmes) is a single mother in New Orleans raising 3 children after her husband died. She’s basically broke and the house is falling apart. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s a storm about to hit the area.
She has a boyfriend, Tucker (Jerry O’Connell) who owns the restaurant where she works. He wants to marry her. But life has something else in store for Miranda.
Who Is Bray Johnson?
Bray Johnson (Josh Lucas) is an engineering professor from Vanderbilt University who appears at her house to give her a letter. But she’s not home.
Her son tells him to come back later. But he tells Bray not to tell his mother he was there before because he isn’t supposed to talk to strangers.
I won’t tell you any more of the story. That is just the beginning. You’ll just have to watch it yourself to find out what happens.
But I’ll give you a hint: it’s about how negativity affects your decisions and your state of mind. And perhaps your future as well.
The Secret:
“The Secret” is a nonfiction book written by Rhonda Byrne in 2006. She is also an Australian television writer and producer.
Her book The Secret is based on the belief in the pseudoscientific law of attraction, which claims that thoughts can change a person’s life directly.
In 2007 Byrne was featured in Time Magazine‘s TIME 100: The Most Influential People. She gained mainstream popularity and commercial success after appearing on the Oprah Winfrey show.
Byrne claims that all great men in history knew about the Law of Attraction (New Thought), suggesting Abraham Lincoln, Ludwig van Beethoven, Winston Churchill, and others.
Holmes & Lucas Sizzle When Together:
So does it pay to think positive thoughts and envision a wonderful future? Will your dreams come true?
I guess no one will ever know for sure. But this movie might help you believe in yourself. I think you will feel more optimistic while keeping negative thoughts at bay.
If nothing else, I think you will smile at the end. Because Katie Holmes and Josh Lucas have true chemistry between them. Which is part of the appeal of this movie.
But, as I mentioned, keep the Kleenex close by.
Because sometimes, good things bring out the tears.
Those same tears that you shed when you are sad or have endured a loss. They well up in your eyes and stream down your face the very same way.
Just for an entirely different reason.
I could use an uplifting movie! Thanks for the review.
It’s called manifestations and they work.
I like Katie Holmes movies except I won’t watch any scary movies that she’s been in! Lol
I watch a good movie last night called Don’t make me go. It’s about a father bringing up his daughter on his own. Your going to need Kleenex with this movie too! I watched it on prime incase anyone is interested to see the trailer.
Happy film watching this weekend everyone! It’s too hot to be outside!
I’m very intrigued by both movies starring Katie Holmes, et al. Thank you, Brenda.
It’s Fri-YAY! LOL
Yes it is! I think two of my grandkids are coming for supper. Next week, the 18-year-old boy is headed to college!
Always nice to be entertained with lots of movie choices!! 🎬 🎥
I’m a big fan of films.
Particular though. No spookies, westerns or violence.
Last night, once again watched another Hitchcock film “Strangers on a Train.”
On some ways, kinda laughable bc I can’t imagine the “script” happening. Not to me anyway.
For the most part, TCM has a nice selection of movies.
I also watched “Invitation” again with Van Johnson & Dorothy Mcguire.
Always like her film characters.
I know I tend to lean toward thrillers in movies and books, but this was a very sweet movie.
