The Truth About “The Secret: Dare to Dream”

Based on the 2006 best-selling book The Secret, a global phenomenon happened. It empowered millions to lead happier and more fulfilled lives, directed by Andy Tennant. The Secret: Dare to Dream centers around Miranda Wells, played by Katie Holmes, a hard-working young widow struggling to raise three children on her own. 

A powerful storm brings a devastating challenge and a mysterious man, Bray Johnson, played by Josh Lucas, into her life. 

In just a few short days, Bray’s presence re-ignites the family’s spirit, but he carries a secret—and that secret could change everything. 

The groundbreaking book by Rhonda Byrne has sold over 34 million copies worldwide, has been translated into 50 languages, and appeared on the New York Times best-seller list for 190 consecutive weeks.

The following trailer tells us more about the movie while keeping what is in the large envelope a secret.

“Poms” Trailer, Posters & Clips

Directed by Zara Hayes, the movie stars some old favorites in Poms and follows Martha, played by Diane Keaton. She moved into a retirement community and met some quirky mature ladies. It’s okay. They are quirky and old, which is the point of the movie. Another excellent message in the film is to live your dreams because it is never too late.

The movie is an uplifting comedy where Martha starts a cheerleading squad with her fellow residents, Sheryl, played by Jacki Weaver, and Olive, played by Pam Grier. And Alice, played by Rhea Perlman. They soon enroll in a cheerleading competition, which is way too young for them, but they still compete and prove themselves young at heart.

Hayes originated the story, and Shane Atkinson wrote the screenplay. Atkinson is known for his work on Penny Dreadful, which he also directed.

The rest of the cast includes Celia Weston, Phyllis Somerville, Charli Tahan, Alisha Boe, and Bruce McGill.

The second poster says, “It’s never too late to chase a dream.”

The three movie clips are cute and show the storyline and humor of the movie. Keaton is so good in these clips.

Keaton is so good in this movie. She leads a great cast of women in their golden years. My favorite of the two clips is “Audition.”
