Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

First off this is an amazing beautiful drama and awesome romance. A girl meets boy relationship, meeting for the first time and dropping everything spontaneously and following your dreams.I fell in love with this movie. I fell in love with each character, the direction and the amazing written script is flawlessly done. This movie is beautifully done in a romantic comedy, drama way that captures the viewer's interest from beginning to end. This is a true independent film. An indie, a comedy romance that floored me with its awesome witty nature and beautiful stance on the idea of life.This stars the very underrated Whit Hertford who has acted in over 70 films. He is a true talent that seems to never get his break. His performance in this made you believe his character. You fell in love with his performance. He's such an odd looking young man and so it just adds to the beauty of what this film is about. He plays the character that is the offish character, the one not popular. The character that the in-crowd avoids and bullies the pick on.

It is hard to understand such a high rating and raving reviews for Dreamworld. I can only assume that most of the contributors have either worked on it or are in some way related to the authors.The production didn't annoy me, although the home video aesthetics pushed the limits of my patience. There are low budget movies that turned this into their advantage, yet Dreamworld is not one of them. The way i see it, it brought to life a world depicted in a cartoon presented by the main character in the beginning. We only see the excerpts, but i wouldn't waste a full length movie on the idea.After a couple of minutes i simply lost interest in what was going on. The protagonists were deadbeat oddballs who didn't arouse any sympathy. Almost as if they deserved their fate.As far as description is concerned, this was definitely not a comedy. This comes from a person that laughs at jokes even at those that leave the rest of the audience silent. Romance was there, although in a form that suits aforementioned oddballs. As far as drama is concerned, the most dramatic thing was trying not to fall asleep before the end of the movie.Dreamworld is exactly what mainstream moviegoers have in mind when art-house cinema is mentioned. And you can't blame them they don't like it...

You wonder why this movie gets great reviews? OK, It tells you a story that could happen to any of us, not perfect people, any given day. Specially when you meet a new person that rocks your world. The music and lighting are sweet and real. The way the story is told makes you feel you are witnessing the whole thing. I liked the most the non stereotyped kind of cast, and that both of the very pretty woman show themselves as passionate persons. Oliver Rocks! He gives us hope we all deserve to be loved and pushed to the edge in order to grow. Specially when you have a talent that feels to yourself as average. The little guy teach us not to judge people from their bad sides as well. Great Job DREAMWORLD! Ryan Darst, it was great to see you in tiny town Quincy, Ca.

I was really impressed by this film. For me, the film evokes a rare sense of nostalgia. It's honest, sometimes joyful, sometimes painful story is shot and acted so purely that I could nearly feel the tires beneath me. As the couple's station wagon puts Los Angeles in the rear-view mirror, I was completely entangled in the exuberance of their budding romance. Their adventure was seamlessly woven against the backdrop of the California coastline.Maybe, it was the emotional ride that Director - Ryan Darst takes us on? Maybe, it's the actual ride that Oliver and Lily take us on? Regardless, it inspired me and left me wanting more.
