    goodness, I was so young when this came out, it still does it for me, very romantic and 2 of the best performences of the Corey's, just wish they would be giving the chance to do more great things together

    While the latter 1980s were absolutely gagged with lame body-switching comedies like the listless Vice Versa and Like Father, Like Son, I found something entirely different and actually inspiring in Dream a Little Dream. Buoyed by strong performances, Dream is not at all what you...( read more)'d expect it would be. Corey Feldman gives one of his best performances, and no, that's not a joke, and Haim is never better anywhere than he is in his small role as the oddball best friend Dinger. I believe that teen and horror films are nothing now like they were in the 80's. I recommend this to any fan of movies.

    I hate this movie more than life itself. Watching the douchebag twins in action (one of which wishes he was Michael Jackson) makes getting gangbanged in a prison shower seem like Caddyshack.

    As far as 80 flicks go, this is one rad piece of celluloid waiting to be unrolled. Amusing and great just to listen to.

    The Corey's are at their most heightened fashion in this one, although the plot wasn't such a hit.

    "Dream a Little Dream of Me" is a song, usually credited to Fabian Andre and Wilbur Schwandt. The lyrics were written by Gus Kahn. It was the theme song in the 1989 movie Dream a Little Dream. The movie features two versions: One is a solo by Mickey Thomas, and the other is a du...( read more)et with Mickey Thomas and Mel Tormé.

    What an unfortunate misfire, It had such an interesting idea, an interesting cast and a decent production to work with, nut the film just doesn?t work. It should have taken a much lighter tone. A waste of some good talent.

    Surprisingly inspiring and well thought out.

    Not exactly that entertaining. I didn't find this all that funny. This movie certainly did not bring out the best in Jason Robards either. Not that fun of a movie to watch.

The show is a start...but hopefully someone "important" will see it and realize they got some great stuff left in them. Good Luck to them
