That the film proves as affecting as it does is largely due to Knoxville’s understated, terrific performance that makes his character fully sympathetic despite his many flaws.

The SS Ben Hecht

An unlikely success, featuring a dramatic turn from Johnny Knoxville, more than holding his own in a rare lead dramatic role.

Rated: 3.5/5

Epoch Times

In 'Sweet Dreams,' Johnny Knoxville's a long way from his 'Jackass' roots, deep in dramatic acting territory, and surprisingly effective.

Rated: 3/5

Some key monologues detail a character with issues to sort out, and Knoxville steps up to the plate to deliver. A good softball story.

Rated: 7/10

Spectrum Culture

A formulaic plot and a layer of adolescent humor can't obscure this addiction film's honest, earnest beating heart.

It was really nice! I loved it. I’m no expert on how to make a movie but it seemed like the editing was seamless and excellent camera work. None of the cast seemed like bad actors. It was a good feel good movie and raises awareness for addicts. They deserve to be seen as humans. It wasn't too deep or dark it was just a well made good movie to watch. And i will definitely watch it many more times.

Great acting and a good story about getting sober-lots of laughs along the way, though a serious subject at heart.

A very OK movie with some likable characters. Not great by any means, but a decent story of recovery and the human spirit. Makes a good case for people helping one another.
