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.

trust me when I say that this movie is not easy to get your hands on I was looking for hours before I found a sight to buy it off. But if u just want to go and watch it you can watch it on you tube it might not be very good quality but its worth it.the story itself is just so magical I mean two 2 year olds who decide to get married it is unlike anything I have ever seen. the on screen duo of Cayden Boyd and Annasophia Robb was a great casting choice and adding val kilmer to the mix was great. All of the actors were great and I think that they knew this movie was going to be a gem when they read the script because even though it had a limited budget they all agreed to do the movie for limited wages, and well what can I say they were right even though the DVD was not released in America or in Australia it was released in Brazil so if you have the chance to get it jump at it and don't let anybody else get it brilliant film could not of loved it more!

"Have Dreams, Will Travel" is quite a surprising movie, I wouldn't call it a great movie, but certainly it has some good things and the general feeling is quite special.The storyline is, at least, weird and hard to believe: a couple of 12 year old kids, one of them a parricide, being capable of traveling all alone through the USA is very improbable, but it's the behavior of most of the adults involved in the story that is even less realistic. The behavior of the two main characters is also quite surprising, and, may I say, contradictory: the unbelievable maturity of the two preteen when it comes to face their emotional problems and romance contrasts with such reckless actions like departing from home and the protection of adults, who, by the way, are themselves portrayed rather childish.The conclusion is that it's not a story about aging kids (and, definitely, not suitable for children) who follow their hormones in a crazy adventure, but about adults facing adult problems, but fit in children's bodies. But that, together with the dramatic darkness at the end, is what makes the special feeling.In the end, the film would have little good without the starring couple. While adult roles are well-performed, they are not challenging, and it's the talent of the young Caydon Bayd (as Ben) and AnnaSophia Robb (as Cassie) that shine and give deepness to the film. Being put in the challenge of playing adults, they show an extremely convincing acting, showing an understanding of different emotions much beyond expectations. AnnaSophia Robb is specially brilliant playing her very complex character, going through sweetness, anger and despair. Her dramatic power in some scenes is overwhelming.

I'm not usually very fond of drama like movies or movies that really touch you. I prefer not having to take the consequences of watching a sad movie and having a feeling stick to me. However this movie completely captured me. It's a beautiful story that even left me crying at the end. I'm slightly amazed since I'm a 18 year old guy and don't usually expect myself to cry. I haven't sobbed like that for probably 5 years. This truly shows how strong the movie is. It's hard not to be amazed by the beauty of it, following Ben and Cassie through both struggles and joy. There is also quite a lot of humor to be found in the slightly bizarre portrayal of the two precocious kids. What makes the movie into a true piece of art is the balance between tragedy, joy and friendship and the fact that the ending is happy. Annasophia Robb and Cayden Boyd do some wonderful acting, which really makes you sympathize with the characters. There is a very special unique feeling throughout the movie, one I can't explain but certainly makes it worth watching. I can't do anything other than give this Movie a 10 considering how it touched me.
