Movie Reviews of Dream a Little Dream
Movie Review: A very interesting and quirky movie - one of my favorites.
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay first of all, it's NOT a body-swap movie. Despite what you have heard, no one "switches" bodies. Corey Feldman's character Bobby's mind is left in a limbo-like dream world while Jason Robard's character Coleman inhabits his teenage body.
A "switch" would imply the youngster gets the old man's body, and we are (thankfully) spared that.
"Dream a Little Dream" is one of the oddest movies ever made. The director, Marc Rocco, is a certified genius for his use of atmosphere, musical cues, and strange scene transitions. The foley work is impeccable, and the sound editing sets the mood perfectly. The score and soundtrack are first-rate.
There are many funny moments, some metaphysics, and a real message about being young at heart. Dreams and dream imagery are utilized to create an ethereal "feel" to the film's plot.
Corey and Corey are fantastic, their best performance together. "Dream a Little Dream" is the kind of movie not everyone has seen, but almost everyone will enjoy.
I was 16 when this film was released (1989), and have loved it ever since. I've seen it 30+ times and it has never left my personal top 5. Buy it, watch it, then come back and give your opinion. I'm willing to bet you will be pleasantly surprised.
