 |  | A modern day "Its a Wonderful Life" |  |
Spoiler Warning!!! This is not a true film, it is unlikely that if you construct say a cricket pitch in your back garden, WG Grace will appear for a knock about. Now that being said, on with the film.
The premise is ridiculous, and how this got made is anyones guess, but it did and it is a very amusing and touching movie.
It harkens back to a time before Kevin Costner disapeared up his own behind and started making crap films (and I liked Waterworld!). I imagine Tom Hanks would have been better (he was amazing in Bachelor Party) but the story is so good, you would have to be the worst actor on Gods earth to mess this one up. James Earle Jones is great in it, Burt Lancaster is hammy but obviously enjoying himself. But the sum of the parts make up a wonderful film that I have watched time and time again, and I always cry at the end. I have a fractured relationship with my father and this film always makes me try that little bit harder.
Overall, suspend your disbelief and just enjoy a well crafted fairytale.

Field of Dreams starring Kevin Costner always felt like a fable to me. This baseball film is very good and insighful but my parents watched it so many times when I was a little kid that I kinda got sick of it. Now that I am adult, I appreciate this monster hit for its simple storytelling, some parts are a bit draggish but Field of Dreams is a sweet experience, give it a viewing!
September 29, 2008I love Kevin Costner in any of his movies, I have seen them all and haven't found a bad one yet. He is a great actor and I also think he is a very good director. "Field of dreams" is just another perfect movie of his can't find anything bad to say about it, loved it!
July 9, 2008Field of Dreams...was about baseball,but in a fantasy way.I really love it.Kevin Costner,Amy Madigan,Earl Jones,and the rest of the cast were real great in this movie too.It's a family movie i would highly recommened everyone to watch it.
July 2, 2008This movie started ok, remained somewhat slow thorugh the middle but had a powerful ending. It is a movie you can watch with your family. However, due to the lack of mental stimulation through out most of the movie, it is not a movie I can watch mutliple times. Once is enough. Therefore I give it 3 stars.
