As Dreamers Do (2014) Reviews

• Bad all around. Full of religious agenda. Stay away!

  astrokicker2015-02-04

  If you can't tell from the majority of the other reviews, the largely positive score this film has on IMDb is totally bunk. I'm convinced that the people involved in the production of this flop are responsible. If you take anything away from the following review, let it be this: the movie was dreadful and you should stay away. As a huge Disney fan, I was extremely disappointed. The acting was horrible, the directing was dreadful, and the film ends without showing any of Walt's successes after going to California. It more or less leaves the "plot" of this biopic falling sinfully short. But with how utterly bad this movie is, it's probably a kindness that it ends so abruptly. I'd also like to address the Christian agenda of this film. They blatantly and unapologetically use any excuse to insert messages of faith throughout this entire catastrophe. I'm not talking about once or twice, either. It permeates the whole film. I have absolutely no issue with Christianity or people having faith. However, the attempt at cramming a Christian message inappropriately throughout the entire movie was distracting and far too excessive. Frankly, instead of inspiring me I was left incredibly uncomfortable - not because it was a religious message - but because of how forced it felt. Coincidentally the only "professional" review (also mysteriously positive) was from a Christian review site. Be you an avid Disney fan or someone merely curious about the life of an amazing man, I would hold out until the Walt Disney Corporation itself does a proper biopic. Stay as far away as possible from this lemon. You'll be doing yourself a favor.

• An Abomination

  This film is horrific. Historically wrong, especially regarding religious agenda, and, as other reviewers have said, it does not make sense why a biopic of one of the most genius humans on the planet was this terribly made. Acting was dreadful, cinematography was dreadful, there are no saving graces. There are some terrible movies that are so ridiculous, or a particular actor saves it and it becomes a cult classic. This is not one of them. It is offensive to anyone who has studied Disney history and admires the man behind the mouse. To be specific rather then just opinionated the film does not address the problems Walt had with his father, does not convey the severity of his finances and money management, and throwing out quotes from Disney movies to make "inspirational" statements gets old incredibly quickly.

• Pitiful Acting and Awful Dialogue

  Warning, only watch this movie if you can stomach really bad acting. The fact that IMDb gave this a 7.5 out of 10 will forever negate any credibility the rating has in my eyes. The storyline is fine, but the acting and dialog is terrible. I find it ironic that the story of the founder of a brand known for rich media and superb entertainment is portrayed in such a pitiful manner. I guess Disney didn't think it was worth the investment to do the film itself. I'm not sure I would even recommend this movie for Walt Disney fans. It does a good job with the story, but the acting may tarnish whatever reputation he has in your mind.

  well, if you copied the whole script into g00gle translate, and you would let her read it for you, then you'll hear some acting, but this is just reading words in front of a to expensive camera. I really can't get my head around it, how could people be so stupid or naive, or both. At a point you must be thinking, if I was the director, or actor, that this (bleep) we are making is really wrong and bad, and wouldn't you talk about it and do something completely different of rehearse the scenes or something. I really don't understand. I'm very sorry for all the people, I may have hurt, but I am only trying to help. do something you like and please go the full 100%, and not this half baked (bleepbleep)

• Worse ACTING Ever

  This movie may be a independent film but I would think the Director would know bad acting and lines as if they were reading them. thumbs down. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. I should have guessed if it was not endorsed by Disney it would be a complete flop. The fact that the hidden religion in the film us a big turn off. I have seen better Student films. I have absolutely no issue with Christianity or people having faith. However, the attempt at cramming a Christian message inappropriately throughout the entire movie was distracting and far too excessive. Frankly, instead of inspiring me I was left incredibly uncomfortable - not because it was a religious message - but because of how forced it felt.
