Dream a Little Dream (1989)

I really really like this movie. The plot is a really simple story that anyone can learn from. It basically is don't take what you have for granted as you may lose it all and could be unable to get it back. All the way through out the movie you are wondering if the old man and his wife's life is ever going to get back to normal. This movie has drama, romance and comedy in the former of my favorite character Dinger. I also really like the two Corey's but Corey Haim is the better of the two in my opinion but Corey Feildman did a really good job at acting in this movie. This movie is really good and has a plot that anyone can relate to. If you haven't seen this movie please please check it out because if you haven't you are missing out.

It's difficult to me to review this film, for the simple reason that I was 15 when I saw this movie. It was made for me. It was made for teenagers trying to figure out life, love, getting into college, and dealing with adults. I loved it.It was the best by far of the "body-switching" genre that seemed to dominate the 1987-1990 period, but rarely was a teen drama tackled with more earnestness and via such a bizarre but interesting plot. Whatever the reason, it works and instead of being just another body switch comedy or teen fluff, it truly becomes a beautiful film that deserves its cult status.

What is "Dream A Little Dream"? No one knows, but somebody in the late 80's seemed to have had the following idea: let's make another movie with the two Coreys about something that kids love to see at the moment. Yeah, let's make a body swapping movie or something. We could put in some rad clothes and hip music. To top it all off we'll have Jason Robards in a side role, how about that?Well, the result is a mess as you can image. The story is practically non-existent. Corey Feldman - whose acting is horrid in this movie, by the way - has to fret for something because of something that we are not exactly sure about. As we're trying to figure out why we're too stupid to figure out what's going on, we are constantly bombarded with a soundtrack of old and then current songs about "Dreams".It's kinda fun and intriguing to watch such a train wreck. The characters are less than believable, the fashion is the worst you've ever seen in a movie. You've never seen a movie like this at all. It's a rare member of the romance/sci-fi/mind swapping/coming of age/drama/comedy-genre. Or something.Lovers of the obscure, this is your movie!

I checked that this may be a spoiler just in case i say something that happens in the movie....It seems that most of the people who have seen this movie just don't get it....there is a magic in the movie that most people seem to overlook, this movie has not as much to do with the Corey's, as it has to do with the story, and if you just watch the story unfold and listen to the strategically placed soundtrack you would see the magic in the movie, it's all about the relationships, c'mon watch the 2 couples having similar conversations and the way Gina asks Coleman why he loves her and he says cause I saw the other half of me. If you just watch the movie and let your mind go and enjoy the story you WILL fall in love with the movie, and the music in the movie. If you're looking for a hot female, you have her in this movie, she is a nice addition to a wonderful story, I just love this movie, and I always will.
