Dove Review

“Yesterdays Dreams” is an excellent film about the real meaning of marriage and companionship. The film is about a good natured and big hearted man named Harvey who is constantly brought down by his drunk and verbally abusive father. He meets a woman and after a series of events bring them close, they become engaged. The film expresses the importance of strong meaningful relationships and reveals that when you meet the right one, God will let you know. The film has only a few inappropriate words and a few instances that would make this more for children twelve and up although most adults would enjoy this film due to the subject matter of marriage. Dove is proud to award the Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this film.
