And now having read your review (of what does sound like a very entertaining movie) - yeah, I think actually, the one thing that can make "It was all a dream!" work for me is when the narrative dodges between the dream world and reality, leaving you a little unclear on which is which. I typically really like "some aspects of what you were just told was real actually aren't real" twists - like the Fight Club-eseque tropes we were talking about in Rachel's previous post, or certain kinds of unreliable narration about canon events. I think it can come under that heading for me when it's mixed into the flow of the plot.
