Pros: love, tears, life Cons: can be a bit slow for those who want action
My husband rented this movie for me on one of his duty night, thinking it would just be a chick flick. Boy was he ever wrong - I am buying it so he can watch it too.
William's plays one half of true soul mates that first lose their children in a...

Pros: Moving, Heart Rendering, Cons: Some Props/Scenes Overdone by Production
I actually rented this movie when, after the death of my sister, a friend advised me to pick it up as a "comfort". I thought for sure it was going to be a "cry baby chic flick" that was supposed to encourage my grieving process. ...

Pros: Made you want to believe Cons: Made you think about death
I rented this movie because I happen to like Robin Williams, but I really enjoyed it. It made you want to believe that there is a life after death and that it is a good one. I liked the fact that the children could watch it and understand that you could...

Pros: Beautiful visions, wonderful acting... Cons: ...some slow points
I have to admit, I'm amazed at the thought of an afterlife. I'm not part of any organized religion or anything, but I do wonder if there is some conscious life after death. If there is, I hope it's like this movie. Some spoilers ahead if you haven't...

Pros: warm and inviting characters, great story line Cons: none
Robin Williams never fails to impress me, this movie is no exception! Robin portrays the true and often painful feelings of love in this movie. It just goes to show you, much in the message of The Crow, that love is stronger than death. This feature...

Pros: Everything. Cons: How could there be?
Just when you think Robin Williams is all yuk and no heart, along comes a
movie like What Dreams May Come. The film blows away any preconceptions you might have had about Williams. His character has depth and emotions,
he feels pain and sorrow...

Pros: Wonderful love story, beautifully filmed. Cons: Easy to get lost if you are not paying attention
I thought this movie was beautifully filmed and very moving. The special effects were very good too. It's the ultimate love story, about loving someone and never giving up on them. It is not just about romantic love either, Robin Williams also does a...

Pros: Wonderfully touching, Absolutely fantastic special effects, wonderful story line, nothing like it before Cons: tear jerker but uplifting at the same time
This movie was completely unexpected for me. I wasn't sure what to expect, other than I had heard that it was a tear jerker.
Love story, wonderful dream sequence, differences between heaven and hell, you take from it what you will.

Pros: Um...I got somewhere to sit for over 2 hours, some good acting Cons: made no sense, waste of money
I am a true aficionado of Robin William's movies except for one title, Toys. Well, there's one more title to add to that list and it's this movie, What Dreams May Come. At first the movie starts out pretty good. The acting is done very...

Pros: Emotional, thought-provoking, and well-acted. Cons: Sometimes a little too gooey.
Richard Mattheson has always been known for his deeply touching masterpieces (or so I'm told, as a number of his books are now out of print). If the movie version of his novel "What Dreams May Come" is anything like the book -- and from a historical...

Pros: Great Choice of Actors and Actress Cons: You want to see more!
When I first heard of this movie I really wanted to go and see it but I wasn't able to experience it until it come out to video stores. We finally went out and rented it. At first it didn't quite grab my attention but as soon as it got going I was...

Pros: Touches the soul. Cool special effects. Convincing acting Cons: scary, depressing
While from most of what I've heard, this movie hasn't met much fanfare, I really enjoyed it. The subject of death and dealing with loved ones in the afterlife opens up a lot of issues and really gets one thinking. I think the movie is best as a venue...

Pros: 2 hours of being consumed in Robins World. Cons: Needs a Sequel...is that a Con? NO
I still have not seen a bad Robin Williams flick. What was that one when he had five lives and it died in the box office? Oh, well, anyway....
I love this guy,,,he makes me feel what he feels, he makes me cry.
In this movie really got lost...

Pros: makes you think about your life in perspective a bit more Cons: none
No kidding either. In my life, I have attempted suicide more than once and came so close to it again right before I rent this movie. I know the movie is a fictional-drama, but it really makes a person think. I laid on the couch and cried all through...
