At AIM magazine we were tempted to see the new British-Asian flick, Don’t Stop Dreaming, just because the trailer itself was so bad that reviewing the film would have been an absolute joy. Alas, we have been denied.

On the BBC Online site Poonam Joshi trashes the film and takes out all the fun of us doing so. She says:

But try as you might, there is nothing to recommend Don’t Stop Dreaming. Singer Taz stars alongside Sunil Shetty and Michelle Collins in this embarrassingly hackneyed story of wannabe singers going for their dream. An unrivalled contender for the worst Brit-Asian film ever made.
…
Technically it’s flawed on every level, with poor camera work, inept editing and suspect lighting. The characterization, which veers firmly towards caricature, is further marred by gut-wrenchingly bad dialogue, a narrative that lacks any depth and stilted acting. Taz’s soundtrack is possibly the only redeeming feature. Shame the same cannot be said for his acting, which is utterly cringe-worthy. But then, he’s in good company.

The cast of Don’t Stop Dreaming will want to head for the hills, adopt a new identity and deny ever having any involvement in this film. Cheap, incompetent, unfunny and crude, the film’s greatest achievement is that it ever got a cinema release.

We like our reviews brutal and to the point so thanks for that Poonam, even if you took the wind out of our own sails.
