Here again, the two Corey's hmmm strange plot, nothing initial but plenty of holes that leave you wondering what's really going on on earth. There's no adequate explanation as to how and why the body / mind change is going to happen and then everything becomes nothing at the end?? huh?Poor performances from all really, there may be many of the bigger names just to cash in on being with the younger stars, showing that they're still hip hehe Can't advise unless you enjoy the two Coreys.

Transfer of consciousness movies were really piling up ever since the Disney Studios came out with the first Freaky Friday during the 80s and 90s. In the case of Dream A Little Dream it only goes one way.

Senior citizen Jason Robards tells his wife Piper Laurie that he's been doing a lot of transcendental meditation and he tells her quite matter of factly that one night he will go to sleep, will himself into a coma and move into the mind of another. Unfortunately the mind he occupies is that of Corey Feldman a rather vapid teen who's got two things on his mind.

The first is he does like Michael Jackson and Feldman does a mean moonwalk. The second is Meredith Salenger who is the girlfriend of jock William McNamara. The only one who has some grasp of how Feldman has changed from within is best friend Corey Haim.

The best scenes are when Feldman goes to sleep and then he can contact Robards. Those dream sequences have both learning a lot about each other.

Usually Corey Haim is in the lead and Feldman is the second banana. It was nice to see them change this up.

Dream A Little Dream besides reviving a great pop standard is nice and innocuous teen flick that still holds up well.

Bobby Kellar has a crush on Lainie Diamond, girlfriend of school jerk Joel. Coleman is working on an experiment which will help him move into a place where Dreams are reality.

When an accident occurs Coleman finds himself in Bobby's body and can only contact Bobby in his dreams.

Part of his wife's mind has also ended up in Lainie. To bring his and his wife's body back to reality, Coleman must agree to fix Bobby's messed up life.....

Out of all the body swap movies of the late eighties, this has to be the one that killed that little sub-genre, because it's boring beyond belief.

Yes, it has the two Corey's in it, but Haim is hardly there, and Feldman spends his role acting like a posh Michael Jackson for the majority of the film.

But the main problem is that the film tries too hard to be something different from the rest of the body swap films, and in doing that turns a neat concept into something more mundane, even macabre in some scenes.

Films like Big, and Vice Versa were fun movies, predictable, but fun nevertheless. Here we get Jason Robards maundering around a dreamworld with awful foley work, and Feldman popping up every now and again acting as smug as smug can be.

And it's just gets too complicated and boring to understand, and to care about what is going on and what happens to the characters.

Stick with The Lost Boys and License To Drive....
