Full Plot Details

Former British pop star Gary Shaller (Martin Freeman) is at a crossroad in his life: his job in New York City is going nowhere, his American wife, Dora (Gwyneth Paltrow), drives him crazy, and he passed his thirtieth birthday four years ago. Add to that his best friend Paul (Simon Pegg) seems to become more successful every time he breathes. Gary is feeling depressed and dejected, until he meets Anna (Penélope Cruz). She's glamorous and smart; she's seductive and witty. Best of all, she's crazy about Gary. Anna is the girl of Gary's dreams, literally. And that's the problem. Gary can only see Anna in his dream life, so he has to find a way to carry on the most satisfying relationship of his life, in his dreams. His quest for lucid dreaming techniques introduces Gary to some crazy characters who ultimately give him a new perspective on life.

Movie Reviews

ComingSoon.net - 9/10 by Edward DouglasThe material is often too bizarre and esoteric for ordinary people to be able to relate to any of it.
NewsBlaze - 8/10 by Prairie MillerThis sleepyhead Prince Charming is in for a rude awakening when the choosy, chain smoking Anna, actual female that she is, finds him an annoying loser, and at best undesirable. Au revoir, unconditional love. Someone wake me when it's over.
Reel Film Reviews - 8/10 by David Nusair...a low-key yet consistently engaging effort...
I.E. Weekly - 8/10 by Amy NicholsonWriter-director Jake Paltrow's (yes, brother of Gwennie) debut feature is exquisitely romantic, painful, and riotous; everyone's lonely and going about it wrong.
Entertainment Weekly - 7/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumThe filmmaker's got good taste -- and luck -- in casting.
New York Magazine (Vulture) - 7/10 by David EdelsteinJake Paltrow's comedy takes familiar male-angst material and turns it into a painful--but fun--string of jokes.
Variety - 7/10 by Justin ChangThough its forays into the subconscious may strike more adventurous cinematic palettes as precious and unimaginative, few will be able to resist Martin Freeman's appealing lead turn or the wry Brit wit that gives this fanciful confection a robust comic core.
Times (UK) - 6/10 by Wendy IdeWhat comedy there is fails to ignite and the romance is stillborn since we don't care who sleeps with whom or whether they do it in real life or the dream world.
Big Picture Big Sound - 6/10 by Joe LozitoPromising debut from writer-director Jake Paltrow about a sleep-obsessed man who meets the literal girl-of-his-dreams has some perceptive moments amid a lot of tossing and turning.
The A.V. Club - 6/10 by Keith PhippsEither way, it's too pretentious--or not nearly pretentious enough.
