Great Movie, But Some Dark Room Lighting Issues

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.
