Critics Consensus

For those who Dare to Dream of a worthy dramatic adaptation of The Secret, this sodden romance will prove a disappointment too painful to visualize.

Not nearly as bad as I had anticipated. Basically a feel-good, competently done romantic comedy/drama: pretty good writing, acting, and production values. Thankfully soft-peddles the execrable "philosophy" of magical thinking from the book.

A feel good movie! This was such a welcome break from movies that center on murder, drugs, and revenge.

Katie is adorable and believable in this role , well done! Josh is just as adorable with his southern charm. I like that Miranda, mom, does what she wants to and that her kids are respectful and supportive of her happiness. Lovely story with beautiful scenery. Enjoy!

Minneapolis Star Tribune

"The Secret: Dare to Dream" wants to remind us of those bland, coastal Nicholas Sparks romances where white, pretty people don resort wear to take walks on beaches and barbecue shrimp together.

Newsday

If you're looking for 107 minutes of utter pabulum disguised as a motion picture with characters and a plot, well, you should "Dare to Dream" no more.

Rated: 0.5/4

It's otherwise an admirably mellow experience... But zoomed out just a bit, Dare to Dream reveals more insidious dimensions.

The Canberra Times (Australia)

I don't know that the writers - Tennant shares credit with Rick Parkes and Bekah Brunstetter - intend to break as many hearts as they might when real-life viewers don't get, as one character does, the pony they wish for.

Rated: 3/5

If I wish it hard enough, can this pseudo-Christian self-help melodrama become better?

While 'The Secret' doesn't tell you what you don't know already, it does so with simplicity and sensitivity. Overall, it's a well-meaning film that gives you cosmic hope
