CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

PandoraProductions4 There are many films that are like this on first impression. Road trips and coming of age stories have become, for the most part, worn out genres in Hollywood. But sometimes a little gem like this one will slip through the cracks. The story is simple: boy and girl meet up, travel the road together, meet some colourful characters, unforeseen tragedy strikes, all leading to a bitter-sweet ending. It's all been done many times before. But not like this. I don't mean to say that this is the best road trip/coming of age film, simply that it is unique in it's style and visual look.Despite the fact that it came out in 2007, this movie has the look of a film from the sixties or seventies. The camera quality is not very good, and the whole picture feels tinged with some sepia (?) colouring. It feels almost as if it were made unprofessionally, though the appearance of notable actors like Val Kilmer, Heather Graham, and AnnaSophia Robb suggests otherwise. In short, it looks like it was filmed by the same camera that did Birdemic. But perhaps the most endearing quality to this film is it's slightly amateurish look.It seems like it should be either a complete sentimental schlock-fest , or a no budget trashy direct to video.But it isn't. It succeeds on several levels emotionally, and provides characters we grow to care for. If you can get past the grainy visuals you will find a story of surprising depth.

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.

mephiles_fan2007 A great movie. Have Dreams, Will Travel is a film that stars Cayden Boyd as Ben Reynolds, and Annasophia Robb as Cassie Kennington. Both kids set out to Baltimore to live with Cassie's aunt and uncle (Cassie and Ben are not related). They meet a lot of interesting characters and learn a lot about life. They even have a romance part in the story (they get married to each other very early in the movie). Ben wants to be a major league pitcher so you will see him throwing a baseball several times in the movie.The film is also funny at certain points, not like funny as hysterically hilarious, but funny as in Heh Heh. Like a serious funny. Its hard to explain but it has some pretty good humor. The film has a lot of romance between Cassie and Ben, but not too much. Annasophia performs outstandingly but sometimes it seems like she is not doing well. Cayden Boyd does a great job too.The movie while great has some flaws. One flaw is that the lighting in the dark rooms is horrendous. I can rarely see Ben and Cassie. In the trailer for this movie it seems like the lighting issue is not there, but it is. I hope the edit this for its US release. Another problem is the movie feels a bit short to me. I watched it on Youtube. It was separated into 8 parts. 7 parts are 10 minutes while the 8th part is 3 minutes. In fact two parts of the movie on Youtube at the end have at least the last quarter of it taken out or blocked, most likely these parts are on the DVD (Brazil only).Overall a great movie that deserves a release in the US. I hope they release it here and if they don't we should make a petition, or I could import the DVD from Brazil. It gets a 9 out of 10.

TheSparkleyGoonie This film is the tale of twelve year old Benjamen Reynolds who is neglected by his parents meets a girl named Cassie after her parents die in a car wreck. Upon becoming friends Cassie convinces Ben to run away with her to Baltimore to meet her Aunt and Uncle, all the while Cassie hides a secret about the car wreck.That is the basic plot line of Have Dreams, Will Travel but this movie is anything but basic, it is magnificent magical and heartbreaking all at the same time. Heather Grahm and Val Kilmer are great in the small roles they have but none other is better then the stars Cayden Boyd and AnnaSophia Robb.AnnaSophia Robb has proved herself time and again as being a capable actress in such films as Bridge to Terabithia and The Reaping. Here is no different; her portrayal of Cassie is Oscar worthy.Cayden Boyd only notable role in the film industry prior to this is young angel in X-Men 3 The Last Stand, and he has proved himself in this movie to be a fresh new addition to the next generation of actors.Have Dreams, Will Travel is in a genre all its own its not a love story NOT a children's movie not a drama, not an adventure. It is a piece of art crafted by a brilliant team of writers actors and directors.Have Dreams, Will Travel, will indeed travel far this film is grand delightful and truthful of the ugliness of the world.
