Walter Goodman New York Times This is one incoherent movie; I have a hunch that the writers could not figure it out, either. Rated: 2/5 May 21, 2003 Full Review Richard Harrington Washington Post Folks staggering out of Dream a Little Dream may well wonder what the heck they just saw. Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Dream a Little Dream is an aggressively unwatchable movie. Rated: 0.5/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect If Dream a Little Dream's plot sounds like Vice Versa or Freaky Friday, it's because it is - with some slight variations. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 16, 2022 Full Review Richard Freedman Newhouse News Service It is one thing to Dream a Little Dream; quite another to endure a little movie like this one, a dead ripoff of Back to the Future. Jan 5, 2018 Full Review TV Guide A relentless soundtrack beats throughout the film, and the scenes cut quickly from one location to another in an attempt at 'clever' editing that merely adds to the clouded feel of the movie. Rated: 2/4 Jul 25, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

John A Cringe inducing and utterly incoherent film. I loved the Coreys going into this, License to Drive was a guilty pleasure and I couldn't wait to see their follow-up. It makes sense in a way they had to flip Coreys in this film, there is a bizarre disconnection to it. Feldman's self-indulgent clothing and Michael Jackson dances was an exercise in self-gratuity. I guess this was the beginning of the end for one of Hollywood's most beloved 80s duos, at this point Haim was up to his ears in cocaine. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/03/24 Full Review Robert H To me this is easily the best Corey movie of them all Haim is clearly coked up, but Feldman does a fine job. Add Jason Robards, Harry Dean Stanton, and Piper Laurie as real, valid adult leads, and Meredith Salenger as a very charming and becoming ingenue, plus an excellent soundtrack, and it all works out very well Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/02/24 Full Review A P IGNORE THE REVIEWS POSTED BY ANYONE OLDER THAN GEN X. They never got us. It was relatable and heartfelt. All star 80s cast. I enjoyed the walk down memory lane to my childhood. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/01/24 Full Review Jon G This film is a scattershot mess, and I find it absolutely delightful. One of my favorites! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/14/23 Full Review Dominant S I've watch this movie well over 200 times in my life. It's a wonderful movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/23/23 Full Review Jess H A Perfect 80's movie. Soundtrack, Over the top story, choreographed Dance scene, and generally Unforgettable Movie. Start to finish its nostalgia and quotable. I will Always Love this movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
