Dream a Little Dream

In 1989, the two Coreys starred in Dream a Little Dream, a cute little 80s film about body switching hijinks and high school romance.

The plot revolved around Bobby Kellar (played by Corey Feldman), who had a crush on Lainie Diamond (played by Meredith Salenger) who was dating a jerk (of course!).

In the meantime, an old married man named Coleman (played by Jason Robards) was tinkering with dreams, and when he crossed paths with Bobby, they wound up switching bodies.

The interaction caused Coleman and his wife, and Bobby and Lainie, with intertwining lives.

Dream A Little Dream is a great film about the “grass is greener” effect, and shows that no matter how old or young you are, life can be difficult and complicated.

The film also starred the otherCorey-Corey Haim, as well as Piper Laurie, Harry Dean Stanton, William McNamara, and Victoria Jackson.

This, along with The Lost Boys, is probably the best of the “Corey” films. Moreover, Dream A Little Dream is a sweet film about life and love in the 80s.
