I didn't expect a much but I got sucked in small doses. I even took a couple hours naps 'in a half' time :) Not a bad thing. There is a lot of dreaming in the movie! Movie reminds me from a TV-series Awake (Shame it ended just after one semester). Awaken also resembles to a movie called The Lake House (2006).

A smiling lady, Rachel (intriguing Jordan Ladd) is waiting to get in a coffee shop for her morning coffee and makes a toast with Alex, the keeper and owner of the place. (conscientious Corey Sevier) Clearly Rachel seems very keen of Alex but a little crestfallen Alex is coming from a slow and soon to be closed and sold out Coffee house and lacks a determination and carpe diem kind of mind set replying straight to Rachel's approach going to drinks..

Awaken is quite mellow and relaxed romantic story. But not at all a average or generic one. The plot is pretty and solidly flowing experience. Nothing irritating or too much underlined. Maybe a fraction compliant ending for my taste but I'm not complaining. I liked the story and this is quite fresh in a category of romantic movie or shall I dare to say fairy tail.
