Based on Rhonda Byrne's bestselling self-help book, Andy Tennant's 'The Secret: Dare to Dream' is a basic family drama at its core. It's about as clichéd as it gets. However, the movie itself is totally harmless and fine and, at times, even moving. And despite telling a story that basically deals with exploring the power of positive thoughts, the writing never gets preachy or overbearing. The performances from Katie Holmes and Josh Lucas are both effective with the rest of the cast also putting in fine performances.
