"The Girl of Your Dreams" is a dramady which manages neither comedy nor drama and falls on its face with a nonstory screenplay which is little more than a whole lot of bantering and busy work. Telling of a Spanish film company which goes to Berlin during the Nazification of Germany (circa 1938) where the star, Macarena (Cruz), becomes the unwilling object of affection of Nazi propagandist and womanizer Joseph Goebbels, this flick is flat and seemingly devoid of purpose. Although the film has a lot to offer from a solid cast and good production value, its story is devoid of all that stuff we go to movies to see. Requiring two hours of subtitle reading, "The Girl of Your Dreams" is one very well made dud which is almost certain to leave you cold. (C+)
