Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFour days before filming, Corey Haim broke his leg and Dinger's character had to be rewritten to include the injury. While his actual cast was removed during filming, he had to wear a fake one for the remainder of the production. In the movie Dinger says that his mother hit him with her car. In real life, Haim broke his leg while trying to teach his mom how to ride a motorbike. She couldn't use the brakes well yet, and ran into the side of a building, breaking her nose and Corey's leg.
- GoofsIn the credits, "It's the End of the World As We Know It (and I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M. is listed as being co-written by Michael "Stripe" instead of "Stipe".
- Quotes
Dinger: [sitting alone in Joel's car, waiting] Wow... shit's gotten weird. Me, Dinger - this unbelievably-looking guy - is sitting out here, freezing my ass off in some butt-ugly red Mustang. Well, now I have ample time?
[looks down at wrist]
Dinger: I don't have a watch, I never had a watch. Why did I look at my wrist? At the dance. Dancing perfectly. With a hot chick. She wanted me. I know she wanted me. Well, every girl wants me. I should be in Hawaii drinking a piña colada, looking at some Hawaii chick. "Hello, honey."

Well, the result is a mess as you can image. The story is practically non-existent. Corey Feldman - whose acting is horrid in this movie, by the way - has to fret for something because of something that we are not exactly sure about. As we're trying to figure out why we're too stupid to figure out what's going on, we are constantly bombarded with a soundtrack of old and then current songs about "Dreams".
It's kinda fun and intriguing to watch such a train wreck. The characters are less than believable, the fashion is the worst you've ever seen in a movie. You've never seen a movie like this at all. It's a rare member of the romance/sci-fi/mind swapping/coming of age/drama/comedy-genre. Or something.
Lovers of the obscure, this is your movie!
