Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
lchelle-lm 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.
sherrypeck19825 This film was expertly done. I read a review somewhere that the time line of the movie jumped all over the place and all I have to say to that person is: If you couldn't follow the time line of the movie, you must have forgotten to pause the movie when you took a bathroom break.At a glance, one might be confused as to how the scenes of the movie line up, unless you pay attention from the beginning (and learn to love your pause button). The whole premise of the movie is that the old man (Coleman) is trying to discover a way (through meditation) to enter the dream world CONSIOUSLY and thus live forever in this state with the woman that he loves.He experiments with meditation and because of an accident that happened in his yard during the experiment, his soul jumped into a young mans body and the soul of his wife, who is not as into the experiment as him, only partially jumps into the body of that young mans love interest. (His best friend's girl) It is a heart wrenching, yet simultaneously heart warming story about soul mates and the unbreakable bond that will always lead them back to each others arms, and hearts.Many of Corey Feldman's dance moves mimicked Michael Jackson. This was intentional due to the popularity of Michael Jackson in the late 80's. True to the era, "Bobby" was a young teenager who emulated a very popular icon of the times. Never-The-Less, as an adult, I still find his in this movie charming, witty, and full of depth.Anyone who would say that this man made his success on his looks alone has obviously not seen this movie. It is rare to find a good looking actor who also has a full arsenal of talent and is not afraid to use it. If more performers would fore-go work that is trendy and opt for jobs that require real skills; movies, TV shows, and music would be so much the better for it.
Mccadoo The Corey's should become poster boys for bad movies, they're two of the worst actors out there but I felt bad for Jason Robards and Meredith Salenger for having to be seen in this piece of trash.The plot made no sense, the scene in the gym was just absurd, was he doing an imitation of Michael Jackson or what? And why would you film a scene like that with a actor who obviously cannot dance and has absolutely no rhythm? Watching this movie is like having a root canal done without the benefit of Novocaine, avoid it like the plague. For that matter, avoid any movie that either of the Corey's appear in with the possible exceptions of Silver Bullit and Stand by Me.
Reyak OK, cats out of the bag, I have had a crush,...or more of a crunch on Merideth Salanger since i was....when did this movie come out?? Otherwize this move was great, soundtrack and all. The "Corey Brothers" were outstanding as usual, Merideth was HOT, even the weirdo parents of Feldmans character played,...what ever parts those were perfectly....a bit odd, but perfect.The old man was great too, as was his beautiful wife.All in all, the story line was great, and even at my young age at the time, was simple enough to follow. I just loved this movie, it is number one of my top ten.
