Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Daniel Thomas trust me when I say that this movie is not easy to get your hands on I was looking for hours before I found a sight to buy it off. But if u just want to go and watch it you can watch it on you tube it might not be very good quality but its worth it.the story itself is just so magical I mean two 2 year olds who decide to get married it is unlike anything I have ever seen. the on screen duo of Cayden Boyd and Annasophia Robb was a great casting choice and adding val kilmer to the mix was great. All of the actors were great and I think that they knew this movie was going to be a gem when they read the script because even though it had a limited budget they all agreed to do the movie for limited wages, and well what can I say they were right even though the DVD was not released in America or in Australia it was released in Brazil so if you have the chance to get it jump at it and don't let anybody else get it brilliant film could not of loved it more!
alexccap I just viewed this magnificent gem of a movie and was awed by how rich and complex it is despite the simplicity of its story and some production flaws. It is amazing how Cassie, at such a young age, manages to drive her life with Ben along to a great plan -- and see it to its fulfillment. Equally amazing is how Ben complies with it all along, and gives strength to Cas at her lowest point. Overall, this is an adult fairy tale with the most realistic and bittersweet happily-ever-after ending anyone can hope to have. Grown-ups (like me) will be lead to re-examine their lives, while teens and young adults will take away many important points -- like the importance of having a plan they can hold on to for life, and of having someone with whom they can share their strengths to see it through. This movie also sums up what I've long held to be true: a strong woman can make a man's life soar, and a man must recognize and respect this gift of her presence, if he is lucky enough to find her.I feel lucky to have stumbled into this movie -- after nearly 5 years since it was shown! I hope more people will get to see it and spread its worth.
mizaw "Have Dreams, Will Travel" is quite a surprising movie, I wouldn't call it a great movie, but certainly it has some good things and the general feeling is quite special.The storyline is, at least, weird and hard to believe: a couple of 12 year old kids, one of them a parricide, being capable of traveling all alone through the USA is very improbable, but it's the behavior of most of the adults involved in the story that is even less realistic. The behavior of the two main characters is also quite surprising, and, may I say, contradictory: the unbelievable maturity of the two preteen when it comes to face their emotional problems and romance contrasts with such reckless actions like departing from home and the protection of adults, who, by the way, are themselves portrayed rather childish.The conclusion is that it's not a story about aging kids (and, definitely, not suitable for children) who follow their hormones in a crazy adventure, but about adults facing adult problems, but fit in children's bodies. But that, together with the dramatic darkness at the end, is what makes the special feeling.In the end, the film would have little good without the starring couple. While adult roles are well-performed, they are not challenging, and it's the talent of the young Caydon Bayd (as Ben) and AnnaSophia Robb (as Cassie) that shine and give deepness to the film. Being put in the challenge of playing adults, they show an extremely convincing acting, showing an understanding of different emotions much beyond expectations. AnnaSophia Robb is specially brilliant playing her very complex character, going through sweetness, anger and despair. Her dramatic power in some scenes is overwhelming.
Claudio Carvalho In the 60's, in West Texas, twelve year-old Ben (Cayden Boyd) is a boy neglected by his parents. His mother (Lara Flynn Boyle) is obsessed by the movie stars of Hollywood and every afternoon she goes to the movie theater, while his father spends his spare time building a boat. One night, there is a car wreck in front of Ben's parents dining where only the girl Cassie (AnnaSophia Robb) survives with a broken arm. Ben's parents lodges Cassie during her recovery and she becomes friend of Ben. Later the mature girl convinces Ben to travel with her to Baltimore, where her modern and liberal aunt (Heather Graham) and uncle (Dylan McDermott) live. They hitchhike through Arkansas, Kentucky and Virginia in a journey of friendship and discoveries until they reach Baltimore. Their adventure ends when Cassie has a breakdown and is interned in the Mercy Psychiatric Ward in Virginia and Ben joins the Military Academy in North Caroline to stay close to Cassie. But the girl had a plan for them and Ben gives his best effort to make her dream come true.One of these days I saw the trailer of "Have Dreams, Will Travel" and I liked it so much that I bought the DVD. I have just watched this sweet and touching road movie and I really loved the story, the screenplay, the performances and the direction. I do not know whether it is intentional or not, but there are many scenes of the camera against the light creating dark images that I did not like. AnnaSophia Robb is amazing, with another awesome performance in a complex role. Cayden Boyd is also fantastic in the difficult role of Ben. Val Kilmer has a minor participation, but I believe this is his best interpretation and role in the last years. The secret of Cassie is a heartbreaking moment in the plot and the conclusion is very beautiful. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Em Busca da Felicidade" ("Searching Happiness")
