20s Movie Review - The Secret: Dare to Dream

Director:
Andy Tennant
Genre: Drama/ Romance
Runtime: 102 minutes
Year: 2020
Starring: Katie Holmes, Josh Lucas, Jerry O’Connell, Celia Weston, Sarah Hoffmeister, Aidan Pierce Brennan, Chloe Lee, Katrina Begin, Sydney Tennant, Yohance Myles, Jessie Terrebonne, Rosemberg Salgado, Samantha Beaulieu

Description: A feature film adaptation of the self-help book, “The Secret”, which focuses on the power of positive thinking.

Review: We live in uncertain times and sometimes it is difficult to stay positive. By now everyone knows the book “The Secret”. Especially in these strange times, it may be difficult to stay focused on the future and to keep yourself busy with achieving your dreams. The movie, which is based on the self-help book which focuses on the power of positive thinking, is not a very good movie, but a real feel-good movie when you just need to believe in positivity again.
Miranda Wells is a hard-working widow who struggles to raise her three children alone. A powerful storm brings a great challenge and a mysterious man named Bray Johnson into her life. In just a few days, Bray’s presence causes the family to rebound. But Bray has a secret and it could cause everything to change.  
I had very little expectations, but I was in the mood for a no-brainer feel-good type of movie. I was actually entertained. The emphasis in this film is really on showing what the consequences can be of your thoughts, statements and the way you look at life. It’s not a very good movie, the acting isn’t all that great either, but it’s a nice feel-good movie and one that is about real people and real lives. Simple but fun.

Rating: 3/ 5
