Oh, how my heart weeps for this film! It's got a brilliant concept. It's got a solid, if not excellent, script. It's got a talented cast. Unfortunately, it's also got a director with more than just a slight penchant for the overwrought, and a score that bashes everything through our skulls and back out again (why Ennie Morricone's original score was rejected I know not). You could take the same script (maybe doctored a bit) and the same cast and give it to a director better suited to the project--my mind thought up Michel Gondry or Mike Nichols--and come out with a true masterpiece for the ages. But, as it stands now, What Dreams May Come is a highly saccharine, offensively manipulative Hollywood studio flick that hammers out all of the idea's potential for creativity, wit, and real drama. I always feel bad for Robin Williams when I see him stuck in something like this.
