Anna's Dream (2002 TV Movie)
**** 4 stars out of 5
4 November 2004
Anna's Dream is a film about Anna, a high school senior who is coming to grips with her new life as a paraplegic, after a fall during a gymnastics competition. The movie really seems to deal more, with how Anna's family and school friends try and deal with their own awkwardness around Anna. There are a few funny scenes where Anna's friends embarrass themselves by trying to be too P.C.

Unfortunately this film could have been so much better if it had of stuck with telling the story of Anna. But I feel that it is some what distracted by the subplot of Anna's brother and his porn fetish/addiction. Which in it's self would make a funny movie but it really has no real relevance to Anna's story.

To sum it up, Anna's Dream is one of those films that isn't going to be everyones cup of tea. But if you liked 'Amelie' I am sure you will like this one.
