Movie Info
In 1987-88, a quartet of films with the same basic body-switching premise deluged theaters: Like Father, Like Son (1987), Big (1988), Vice Versa (1988), and 18 Again (1988). One year later, Dream a Little Dream (1989) followed suit. Coleman Ettinger (Jason Robards) is forever scolding the local high school students who use his yard as a shortcut to and from their nearby school. Coleman is not a crotchety old coot, however. He's deeply in love with his wife Gena (Piper Laurie) and is good friends

This is one incoherent movie; I have a hunch that the writers could not figure it out, either.
Top CriticFolks staggering out of Dream a Little Dream may well wonder what the heck they just saw.
Dream a Little Dream is an aggressively unwatchable movie.
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.
The best things in this movie were Meredith Salinger's breasts.
Total crap.
Audience Reviews for Dream a Little Dream

Poor performances from all really, many of the bigger names are possibly there simply to cash in on being with the younger stars, to show they are still hip hehe
Can't recommend unless you love the two Corey's.
