I just can't stand Corey Feldman since he grew up, okay? As the little kid in "Gremilns" and "The Goonies" he was fine. But after he hit puberty, the charm went south.
That has nothing to do with "Dream a Little Dream", which I can't stand for reasons all its own, but I just wanted to get that off my chest first.
I feel much better now, let's go on.
I have yet to understand a single solitary thing about this movie, only that Robards is supposed to be Feldman and Feldman is supposed to be Robards. And...that's about it.
And Meredith Salenger is in this, too. She's cute but she outclasses the material greatly. So do Robards and Laurie but that goes without saying.
But as for the Coreys (Feldman and Haim), they had good chemistry in "The Lost Boys". Period. Since then, they have become self-absorbed little twerps who just take acting jobs to keep some excitement in their boring, listless little lives. They used to be able to act but now cannot. Will not. Do not. Even with a gun pointed to their heads (which, when you think about it, might just be worth seeing in itself).
Even if this movie made sense, it would still subject us to the end credit scene where Robards and Feldman sing a rock (yes, ROCK) version of "Dream a Little Dream (of Me)". And Corey, what in the H - E - double hockey sticks do you call that? DANCING? Been spending a little too much time around Michael Jackson, you think?
It's sad, much too sad to think about any longer.
No stars. Corey, don't "Dream" - it's over.
