Dream for an Insomniac

This movie was perfect. At least in my humble opinion. I found it well thought out and written incredibly. I loved Skye's character, Frankie. She was amazing and her whit and intellect astounded me. The chemistry between her and Mackenzie Astin was fantastic. Of course, Jennifer Aniston (in my opinion) never makes a bad movie so her role as Allie was great too. I just appreciate a decent thought-provoking movie on love every once in awhile. What's wrong with that?

I just watched About a Boy; a movie about a man living off his father's singular hit. Do we have the same thing here? Writer/director Tiffanie DeBartolo only did this one film. It is a good one, and I can't understand why there has been no followup.

It may have been a little corny at times - a search for a may with the eyes and soul of Sinatra, but Ione Skye (Girls in Prison, Guncrazy, A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon) does a really great job as the dreamer that doesn't want to settle. As she says, "Pussy, pussy, pussy. pussy. We're all pussies. It's what we have to overcome in life, our pussiness." So true! It was also the best performance I have seen by Jennifer Aniston outside of "Friends." Maybe it was because she did it during the "Friends" period.

It was a cute movie, a little corny at times, but well worth watching.

One of the sweetest movies I've ever seen. It was a perfect, sweet, different kind-of feel good movie.

OK - I agree Jennifer's accents were not that funny. But she did a convincing job as the friend who is in reality. She contrasts and complements the lead. now ione (i think thats her name )she plays Frankie - sometimes recites her lines perfectly, other times she strains to get them out w/o making it seem forced. but her positives outweigh the negatives, and when she needs to be on target she is. The guys were outstanding, though BJ was too gay. Roberto was played brillantly, i'm glad the guy has gotten past union square. but the award if i had one should be given to Mackenzie Astin, who was fabulous as David. He was just simply outstanding doing everything right! Good movie - got a different view of love - from the quirky side. it was fun, and gave hope to all that the perfect guy is out there.

While the acting gets a little corny at times, the vibe is definitely prevalent in this movie. It's got a good feeling. Simple plot, easy to follow, and while some of the time I found myself looking at my shoes, I was drawn into it. By the time Frankie meets David, I was hooked. The beginning is a little slow, and that's lethal for those out there with ADD. But I know for sure that myself as well as most of my friends have wished for the type of relationship Frankie and David have in this flick. You have seen the physical dramas where the girl is kidnapped and needs rescuing, and you've seen the emotional dramas where the girl is in the abusive relationship and he saves her from it and you've seen the really far-fetched movies where there's some kind of Monster/ Cyborg/ Evil Psycho trying to Kill/ Maim/ Eat her and the lead male saves her from it, but rarely, if ever, do you see one of these well-written, not so surreal movies wherein the girl wears real clothes, people make mistakes, and things are sometimes awkward. On purpose.

It's refreshing to see, even if it means getting corny at times. There are few ways around cornball moments in life. Making life into film or even the dream of life and avoiding them is near impossible.

Personally, I'd recommend this movie to anyone looking for a serious, rewarding, real-life type fictional romance. Give it a chance. See the whole thing. And don't you DARE look at your shoes.
