Excellent, Without a doubt!!

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I enjoyed this movie from start to finish. I'm a big fan of WWII era movies and this production captures the era beautifully. How refreshing to watch a movie without sex, violence and special effects which is about the only thing the rot coming out of Hollywood these days is capable of delivering. So, if you want to see a film with authentic sets and costumes and values of the period, plus a heart warming plot (albeit nothing very original) don't miss Beautiful Dreamer. The cast was excellent and the all the characters seemed like real people. Honestly, I don't see why anyone would give this movie a low rating.

This movie is great, but I though it could have been done better.The acting is wonderful, especially when the time period was around World War II! The costume was great! And also the storyline! The music was wonderful, it really help us feel like we are living that same time period.This was a hard movie for me to hate because the story line was great and everything in it, the only problem I had; when the scene changes, it doesn't make sense. This is the part which it could have been better.Other than that, its a movie to be enjoyed.

I found this movie in the DVD store and it intrigued me. The reason is, I have been planning a novel relative to this movie's premise/theme. While I was upset to find it, I thought I'd watch it. I'm glad I did. While it is thankfully, very different to what I had in mind, it was very sweet, brought tears to my eyes, I felt my gut wrenching with the angst of it, and it swept me up into the picture.The start of it left something to be desired however. While it does depict the two growing up together, and then very quickly moves onto their romantic relationship, I didn't feel like the writers/director had allowed us to feel for the characters, because they didn't establish their roles enough. So when Claire goes looking for him, I forgot what he looked like basically, while trying to keep my eye out for him, knowing that he could pop out of the blue anywhere. As the whole idea of it was close to my heart though, I could feel it more than perhaps your average viewer would. The use of the flashbacks were very effective, and though some of the shots were a little awkward, the basic cinematography was good. The ending was a little weird, and I wish it had explained more how Jo got from where he was, to that point. I don't think they put that point across enough. and medically I don't think he would be able to make that length of recovery fast enough. Though it didn't exactly say how much time had passed.So anyway if you're a gushy romantic like me, who likes war stories (the romantic ones), I'd say you'd like it and it's worth a watch. Just commit Jo's face to your memory so you won't forget him. You'll see him soon enough.

Inspired by the James Hilton novel "Random Harvest" and the subsequent film staring Greer Garson and Ronald Coleman, this film explores the power of a young woman's determination to find her husband who went missing in World War II. Set in America's heartland of the late '40s, the film maintains the suspenseful romance of a film like "Titanic", yet has the low key visual texture of films such as Driving Miss Daisy or Fried Green Tomatoes.Claire, played by Brooke Langton, abandons common wisdom that she should give her husband up for dead and move on with her life. Instead, she spends all she has to find, then rehabilitate her husband who has no memory of his life prior to the war. It is a story of loyalty and courage that shows that the sexiest part of a woman is the contents of her heart.
