The movie is just self-conscious enough to get some bad reviews, and it's going to draw some walkouts. Pay no attention. There's something wonderful here...It's a fascinating film. [3 March 1989, p.6]
The story is an uneasy mix of adult dreams of immortality and adolescent anguish. [3 March 1989, p.A]
For a romantic comedy, this offers few laughs and little tenderness, and mainly evokes confusion with its muddled storyline and inept execution.
This unbearable cross-generational fantasy, with Coreys Haim and Feldman, has one bit that sums up its overall ineptitude. It's a romantic interlude featuring the great Sinatra standard Young at Heart; instead of the 1954 hit version on Capitol, the filmmakers use the 1962 Reprise remake - photographed on a revolving turntable (and with the wrong label) as a 78! A 78 in the era of Gene Pitney? - what preschool did the filmmakers graduate from, anyway? [8 Sept 1989, p.3D]
Dream a Little Dream is so murky and convoluted that it just comes off as being tired. [10 March 1989, p.3F]
This is one incoherent movie; I have a hunch that the writers could not figure it out, either.
You could call it a nightmare but that would be an insult to Elm Street.
