5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully done!!, July 27, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: America's Dream [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This trilogy was very well done: from storylines to acting. The performances by Wesley Snipes, Danny Glover and the grossly underrated Tate Donovan are particularly noteworthy. The subject matter in each tale touches a nerve--I believe the issues dramatized anyone can empathize with. Not to be missed!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Dreams for America, April 4, 2002

By	Kimberley L.G. Selby (Everett, Washington, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: America's Dream [VHS] (VHS Tape)

America's Dream is a fine film that should be viewed by all Americans, whether they be African-American, Caucasian-American, Native American, Hispanic/Latino, or other. It is a sweet story about the dreams of 3 folks, which are dreams we can all relate to. The acting is good and the stories are informative, as well as entertaining, which is why I recommend it for everyone, young and old alike. Wesley Snipes is definitely an actor that can play any role and make it believable (we are watching the character and not the fine actor), and Danny Glover is near the top of his game, also.
