Product Description
Let COREY FELDMAN and COREY HAIM (LICENSE TO DRIVE) take you on a wild romantic comedy adventure with MEREDITH SALENGER (THE KISS), VICTORIA JACKSON (CASUAL SEX?) and screen veterans HARRY DEAN STANTON, PIPER LAURIE and JASON ROBARDS! Set to a hot, hit-filled soundtrack featuring R.E.M. VAN MORRISON, MICKEY THOMAS (of STARSHIP), and the #1 smash hit ROCK ON by MICHAEL DAMIEN, DREAM A LITTLE DREAM is a fun-filled, non-stop adventure for the young at heart. "My best friend Bobby is totally cool. We hang together, go to the same school and think rock' n' roll's rad. Bobby's kind of a dreamer. Now he's stuck on some dreamboat named Lainie. She's pretty hot, I guess, but doesn't know he exists. Bobby's got just three days to convince Lainie that she loves him, even though she already does but doesn't know it yet. This whole thing is just too weird - but I'm sticking around to see what happens." - DINGER

5.0 out of 5 stars Metaphysical twist on classic theme, September 11, 2003

By	J. B. Barton "Beth Barton" (Saint Petersburg, FL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Dream a Little Dream [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Jason Robards is obsessed with transcendental meditation and is constantly trying to get his wife to experiment with him. They live in a classic turn of the century style house near the school - so near in fact that he keeps threatening the school kids who keep cutting through his garden - notably Corey Feldman and Corey Haim. Just as he finally cajoles his wife one night into experimenting with the meditations with him out in the garden, Feldman and his girlfriend, or rather the girl he would like to be his girlfriend, ride through on their bikes colliding with the couple and with metaphysics.

Several improvements are made on the classic "Freaky Friday" theme. For thing, Feldman and Robards are adversaries. For another, it is not just Robards and Feldman that make the switch. His wife has too but she doesn't realize it. She, as Feldman's young girlfriend, doesn't understand why she can't remember her locker combination or dance routines. As Robards, with help from Haim's character, tries to adjust to life as a high schooler in the days of mousse and Michael Jackson, he is haunted by cryptic dreams where Feldman - who seems to know more than he is letting on - warns him that he must make her realize who she is before it is too late and Robard's wife is lost forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dinger lives / An 80's gem, April 26, 2004

By	N. Damiano "[e-mail]" (NH , CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

One of my favorite films so defining of the 80's. A classic teen angst high school movie but with imagination. I think Corey Feldman & Corey Haim made a great team in this. This film makes you want to go back to the 80's. I was just going into high school at the time this release in theaters .Watching it nowadays I completely related to Corey Haims character Dinger. Dinger and Bobby are best friends Bobby falls for Lainie the hottest girl in school and has to convince her that she loves him before the night's over but here's the story in an accident Bobby switches his body with the old man next store living life thru his eyes and vice versus. The same thing with Lainie and the old man's wife. A romantic comedy with a twist. Pay attention to the characters and their bond. A great film about friendship & relationships in high school. An essential to collection for anyone who grew up in 80's cinema. I own the DVD and the soundtrack is great too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Movie for all Generations., December 4, 2003

By	E. Cooley "ocokillian" (Colorado) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This movie is a great movie and I have been enchanted by it since I first saw it in the 80's. Now it is out on DVD and I still enjoy it. It is so romantic and has alot of human emotion in it. I have to also admit I used to be in love with Meredith Salenger. She is such a fine actress and Wow, what a bod. This movie has soooo much cool music in it and it appeals to all ages. The romantic part of me loves this movie and it is right up there with another romantic movie that I love, "Xanadu" with Olivia Newton John. Corey Feldman might not have been the best actor ever, but he was excellent in this and the Academy Awards should have noticed. (Like they ever vote for anthing that REALLY deserves it). The rest of the crew made an excellent movie and the dirctor and editor did a first rate job. What else did the director go on to do?

Pick up the sound track and you will love it. I listen to it all the time and the inclusion of the Van Morrison hit "into the mystic" sets the mood for any situation. Beautiful movie and all time classic.
