The Two Coreys

I realize that this show receives a lot of negative criticism, some of it I can agree with. Corey Feldman admitted recently that a portion of the show is scripted, which at times, is painfully obvious. But it isn't all scripted and staged. I have to say that probably the best part of this show is all the little things that Corey Haim does. His stupid yet funny comments always make me laugh. I can easily recognize that Haim is a true character. Yeah, sure, he is doing this in an attempt to kick start his career again, but he isn't fake (as Feldman can sometimes be). It's certainly no emmy winner, but The Two Coreys is worth watching every once in a while.

I was a very big fan of these two guys when I was growing up. Cory Haim more than the other. I watched all there movies over and over. Their faces plastered my bedroom walls to the annoyance of my father. I even ordered this video that followed Cory Haim around in his free time. I watched the first episode of this show I was hoping to see two men that had grown from the boys they had been, but I don't think they have grown one bit. They, Haim the most, looks and acts like a boy in a man's body. Where he was cute and funny when I was a girl, has turned into a moron as an adult. It is sad really. I couldn't stand to watch it.

The Two Coreys is great fun and a refreshing new show for summer. As the episodes go on, it get's more humorous. The sweat lodge episode is my favorite so far, and Haim's birthday ep was sweet. As far as nostalgia goes, seeing these two characters again is a blast, and I look forward to it every week. It's cool to see Feldman happily married and responsible. Haim is still adorable and you're constantly rooting for him. Both are perfect and hilarious in all there scenes together. Though the show seems a bit set up, with it's Odd Couple premise, it's heart is in the right place. Like other posters I've read, it's just wonderful to catch these guys in any venue or forum. They still have that Corey chemistry! Hopefully A&E will continue with more than 7 eps.

All of us who remember the 1980's especially if you grew up during that decade and were a film watcher like me remember the success, fame and heights of two teenage boy actors named Corey Haim and Corey Feldman. Many of their films were so memorable the most notable hits were "Lucas", "The Lost Boys", "License to Drive", and "Dream a Little Dream". And yes they were very successful yet over the years personal problems and drugs would destroy their appearances in film and most hurtful of all it would kill the friendship that both of them enjoyed. As both Coreys were best buddies. Now finally after many years they have reunited, yet it's still a struggle as both are trying again to find success and Haim is still battling substance abuse problems. Clearly this as the viewer sees causes a conflict with Feldman as C.F. is clearly more level headed and more secure than C.H. as Feldman is married to a very hot and sexy young beauty named Susie. And it's nice to see all of these moments of joy, conflict, anger, and happy times, and past memories unfold on a reality show. Thanks A@E this series is a real winner that keeps us updated on two faded stars of the past.

***It's not like a sitcom or a drama so I don't think I'm spoiling anything, but I do quickly mention some situations from the show*** Moving on--I understand why people might not enjoy the show, because I'm not a big fan of reality shows myself, but from what I know of the Coreys I was curious and gave in to an episode. I wasn't too sure what I thought from that experience so I checked out some episodes "On Demand" and on You Tube, and now I am hooked. Haim's life confusion (a.k.a dependency issues with Corey Feldman) mixed with the Feldman's life organization and slight O.C.D just makes for interesting conflict and I can't help but want to see what comes of it. If you watched an episode and weren't too sure how you felt, or are just curious about the show, I definitely believe its worth giving it a chance--between speed dating, going to a "sweat lodge" in an attempt to stop smoking, and an old flame of Haim's visiting from England, it definitely has it's moments.
