Let's be realistic.

A Disappointing Continuation

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

OK, no spoiler. It would be too long too. This movie is now easier to find, in Hulu for July (2017). I loved this movie in the 80s and 90s. The time was perfect. The dream concept odd and music to remember for yrs into the future. Watching in 2017 is fun for holidays. You can work, chill, and watch old memories. I remember i use to love the Coreys too. Good times.

I just finished watching this movie on my account with Hulu. At first, it was very confusing with the constant switching over to the old couple to the kid. But, finally clicked when we got to the scene with the house covered in toilet paper. Just to warn you it had some weird surreal imagery and some violence involving a gun. I thought the part where they were dealing with serious scenes like when they got to the fight scene with the abusive the key love interest's previous was a little after- school special. But, overall it was one of the best 80's teen movie. I really enjoy in-school dance done with the main character and love-interest. The music was classic and fun. I love the whole thing. I would watch it again if I did not have to go to bed in an hour. So,do yourself a favor and see this movie. You will not be disappointed.

80's teenage comedies come a dime a dozen, but while watching 'Dream A Little Dream' you'll realise it really stands out compared to many of the others.Written, directed and produced by Marc Rocco, who also wrote psychological thriller 'The Jacket', Dream A Little Dream takes the teen comedy genre and adds a fantasy body-swapping twist to it. But despite the fantasy theme of the film it still comes across sincere and slightly nostalgic.Once again the two Coreys team up together, this time with Corey Feldman taking the lead role as hopeless in love Bobby, but its Corey Haim who steals the show with a fantastic performance as hapless best friend Dinger.There are great supporting roles from legends Piper Laurie and Jason Robards and once again a tremendous performance from the always wonderful Harry Dean Stanton.One weak point in the cast comes from the lead love interest played by pretty faced Meredith Salanger who doesn't seem to fit the mood of the film.There is a strange atmosphere during the film which is helped along by the soundtrack, Van Morrisons classic "Into The Mystic" seems especially fitting to the movie.So give Dream A Little Dream a watch, and like it or not I'm sure you'll agree that it's got something a little bit different.

Still...it is an interesting film. Like a hodge-podge of teen-movie clutter that is highly stylized to look classy and meaningful. Yet, it is not...this movie doesn't necessarily succeed, though it makes for solid head-scratching material. Even so, I liked it on some level.Pros: The Corey's try something different (slightly); very atmospheric, if nothing else; a nice, if a bit loud, soundtrack.Cons: Everything else. That includes who ever edited this thing. Also includes Feldman's botched efforts to play dual rolls convincingly.Check it out if you want to see the Corey's while they were still in C+ condition.I have seen plenty worse, trust me.
