The curiously neglected A Dream to Believe (aka
Flying) can be summed up as a distaff
Rocky.
Olivia D'Abo is starred as a teen-aged girl who dreams of becoming a top gymnast. Human, emotional and financial roadblocks do not dissuade D'Abo, nor do her own severe physical shortcomings. You can see the ending come a mile away, but there'll still be tears in your eyes. Filmed in Canada, A Dream to Believe enjoyed a second life in video stores thanks to the presence in the cast of a pre-stardom
Keanu Reeves. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
