About The Secret: Dare to Dream
When a powerful storm wrecks a family's home, Miranda Wells, a widowed mother of three, struggles to keep her life afloat. A weathered handyman named Bray Johnson arrives to repair the damage, offering more than a simple fix. As the roof is patched and the walls mended, Bray shares a hopeful philosophy rooted in the idea that the universe can deliver what you truly want if you believe and stay receptive. The conversations mix practical hardship with uplifting principles, and the Wells family begins to see small miracles brighten their days. The bond between Miranda and Bray grows in the midst of risk and loss, guiding them toward a future they hadn't imagined. Their lives begin to regain hope again.
Directed by Andy Tennant, The Secret: Dare to Dream draws on The Secret by Rhonda Byrne with a screenplay by Bekah Brunstetter and Rick Parks. The 2020 drama features Katie Holmes as Miranda Wells and Josh Lucas as Bray Johnson.
The film earned about $3,215,636 worldwide, a modest performance given its 21 million budget, reflecting limited reach despite star power. Some markets discussed its hopeful appeal amid competing releases and streaming options. Its audience reactions varied by region and platform.
The film taps into The Secret philosophy, stressing intention and gratitude. While not a blockbuster, it contributes to conversations about how mindset can support families under pressure and spark acts of kindness. The message resonates with viewers seeking hopeful stories during difficult times and special moments of generosity for all.
Critics generally treated it as a light faith-leaning drama that leans into optimism over realism. The film centers on Miranda's family, their financial strain, and the idea that belief paired with practical care can open doors, recover hope, and redefine what counts as success for some viewers and readers alike.
