Movie Reviews of Dream a Little Dream
Movie Review: Cory Feldman in a good movie ... wow!
Summary: 4 Stars
Who would've imagined, looking back in retrospect at the career on the once young Corey Feldman, that post The Goonies, Stand By Me or The Lost Boys, that he had yet one more classic film in him.
Also, imagine this film starring Jason Robards and Harry Dean Stanton and the film still holding up after, now, almost 20 years later. It's absolutely stunning.
The 1980's saw a plethora of movies flood the market about High School Life, Teen angst and Teenage love tales, mostly lead by John Hughes, the greatest director of this Genre of all time. But, as the '80's waned into a darkness and Hair-bands were all the rage, these films started to be pushed aside by adult coming-of-age films like Grosse Pointe Blank (yes, 7 years later) and other oddities, like Reality Bites, that would make you question what life after High School was really all about. Sure, Teen movies were made en-masse in the '90's, but none had any real viewing power until Brick came about in 2005 and let you know just how absent films like these had been.
But Corey Feldman ...
This really was the Swan Song from an actor who would disappear from film-making and lose himself into bad career choices, bad life choices, a Michael Jackson obsession that would turn sour, Rehab at the Palms and everything else that a typical Hollywood story would be comprised of. Dream A Little Dream is incredibly well paced, well written and equally well acted. Corey Feldman shines in this as the 'Every Teen' with his annoying and whiny friend, who would remain whiny and annoying for years to come. Feldman gives a performance beyond his years here and makes himself into a equal with Jason Robards, even with the crazy bandana, ripped jeans and tennis racket air-guitar.
Was this the last we'll see of this actor? Probably not. Like Crispin Glover, who also struggled with trouble, bad press and bad management in the '90's, he emerged stronger still and resilient. I imagine Corey Feldman might still, undoubtedly star in his generations Casablanca ... but I aint holding my breath for it.
Movie Review: It's the End of the Coreys as we know it, its the end
Summary: 4 Stars
Warning: this review may not be entirel helpful to some viewers
Yes, its sad but true to admit that Dream A Little Dream was indeed the downfall for the Coreys. The popular duo starred together in 3 movies in the 80's and this DALD marked the beginning of the end.
While this reviewer may admit to being just a tad biased (due to a major crush on the two), this movie still failed to impress me. The acting was great, the soundtracked pumped to the bring with rockin' hits, but the story line was blurred.
The storyline was fine, if not a little slow moving for the first 1/3. It climaxed and peaked at exactly the right time and left you with all the fuzzy feelings a movie, such as this should leave behing. Some have said that the story was presented in a complicated, jumbles way.This is true in some aspects, i agree. However, the majority of the story makes sense, and gets you laughing throughout.There's so many funny, little things to observe, and evertime I watch it, I uncover something new.
Bottom Line: a little slow, but entertaing
Recommended: totally
Movie Review: A More Accurate Plot Description
Summary: 4 Stars
Bobby has a crush on Lainie, the girlfriend of Joel, the school jerk. Coleman is a crotchety old man in Bobby's neighborhood who wants to spend eternity with his wife, Gina, and seeks a mystical way to do it. During one of his experiments, Coleman winds up in the body of Bobby, while Gina ends up in the body of Lainie - only Lainie doesn't realize she's now hosting Gina, but Bobby is completely displaced by Coleman and only accessible through Coleman's dreams. Now Coleman has to convince Lainie that they were husband and wife in another life, put back together Bobby's life, and avoid being killed by Joel, with the help of Bobby's best buddy, Dinger, in order to get everyone in the proper bodies.Movie Review: Great Nostalgia =)
Summary: 4 Stars
Alright, I do love this movie.. but it is an 80's movie. Nothing wrong with that except for it is quite comical when you watch it and see the clothes and the way the people talked back then. I'm a child of the 80's, recently purchased this again, and laughed my butt off the first time I watched the dvd.
Other than that, and the horrible Michael Jackson outfit that Corey Feldman sports shortly in the film, it's a cute teenage love story also dealing with an out of body/ in body experience. Worth the money in my point of view. =)
Movie Review: 80's Movies Rock
Summary: 4 Stars
Another great 80's movie, that not to many know about. This had both the COREY's in it! It has a real cute love story. Corey Feldman plays Bobby, a kind of loser who's grades are lousy, and his love life is no exsistant. He's actually in love with his best friends Joels girl, Laney. Laney and Bobby get's mixed up with this ecentric old couples experiment, to stay young. The old couple and Laney and Bobby do a switcher roo, and things get crazy...but this is where the movie really takes off, and get's interesting. It's worth checking out!
