Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
A phenomenal hit when it was released in 1989, Field of Dreams has become a modern classic and a uniquely American slice of cinema. It functions effectively as a moving drama about the power of dreams, a fantasy ode to our national pastime, and a brilliant adaptation of W.P. Kinsella's exquisite baseball novel Shoeless Joe. Kinsella himself found the film a delightful surprise, differing greatly from his novel but benefiting from its own creative variations. It is the film that cemented Kevin Costner's status as an all-American screen star, but the story resonates far beyond Costner's handsome appeal. As just about everyone knows by now, Costner stars as Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella, who hears the mysterious words "If you build it, he will come," and is compelled to build a baseball diamond in the middle of his cornfield. His wife (Amy Madigan) supports the wild idea, but a reclusive novelist (modeled after J.D. Salinger and played by James Earl Jones) is not so easily persuaded. The idealistic farmer is either a visionary or a deluded fool, but his persistence is rewarded when spirits from baseball's past begin appearing on the ball field. Past and present intermingle in the person of "Moonlight Graham" (superbly played by Burt Lancaster), an unknown player who sacrificed his dreams of baseball glory for a dignified life as a small-town physician ... but what all of this means is unclear until the film's memorably heartfelt conclusion. A meditation on family, memory, and faith, the film balances humor and magic to strike just the right chord of thoughtful emotion, affecting audiences so deeply that the baseball field created for the production has now become a mecca of sorts for dreamers around the world. --Jeff Shannon

Field of Dreams starring Kevin Costner always felt like a fable to me. This baseball film is very good and insighful but my parents watched it so many times when I was a little kid that I kinda got sick of it. Now that I am adult, I appreciate this monster hit for its simple storytelling, some parts are a bit draggish but Field of Dreams is a sweet experience, give it a viewing!

I love Kevin Costner in any of his movies, I have seen them all and haven't found a bad one yet. He is a great actor and I also think he is a very good director. "Field of dreams" is just another perfect movie of his can't find anything bad to say about it, loved it!

This movie started ok, remained somewhat slow thorugh the middle but had a powerful ending. It is a movie you can watch with your family. However, due to the lack of mental stimulation through out most of the movie, it is not a movie I can watch mutliple times. Once is enough. Therefore I give it 3 stars.

Every one should see this movie - If you have not, you are missing out on a very good well know and well done movie. A good family movie! The newer DVD has bonus footage that tells why the movie is still going strong after nearly 10 years. Let your iminagination go and see what you can dream of - Maybe it will come true for you if you let your dreams guide you.
