Movie Reviews of American Dreamer
Movie Review: Love American Dreamer
Summary: 4 Stars
My wife and I saw this film when it first came out in the early 80's. And sure, it now seems a bit dated and the script is all kinds of schmaltzy. But the film is a winner because the two stars perform so well together, the Paris scenery is so wonderful and like all romantic comedies, it delivers a satisfyingly happy ending.
Summary of American Dreamer
In AMERICAN DREAMER, frustrated housewife and writer Cathy Palmer enters a mystery-writing contest and wins an all-expense-paid trip to Paris. Once there, she is struck by a car and awakens believing that she is Rebecca Ryan, the heroine in a wild spy adventure.JoBeth Williams plays an unfulfilled housewife who wins a trip to Paris after entering a short-story contest. Once there, she is hit by a car and wakes up believing she is the ingenious and brave heroine from her story. A series of misadventures leads her on a merry chase with fellow bumbler Tom Conti. The casting is a little dubious, but the ever adorable Conti gives this charm. It may rip off Romancing the Stone--without emulating that flick's witty dialogue or sexuality--but this appealing fluff remains a pleasant, if slight, diversion. --Rochelle O'Gorman
