Comedy and heavy drama mixed into one, 14 April 2003
Author: senor_small from san francisco california

well corey feldman and corey haim, have proved themselves as being fun loving teen idols through the mid-late 80's, this time, it was time for some changes in pace of their own acting. Both of the corey's star as best friends, who do their own things, and have their own suave styles. while an old man played by Jason Robards, whom both corey's stumble onto his property for short cuts, on thieir way to school every morning, start to be annoyed of eachother. until, one night feldman is accidently bumped into his love interest (meredith Salenger) there both knocked out cold that night, until the next morning, he awakens, and discovers, that Robards is inside of him, and Feldman is inside of robards. they both start having this conversations together, giving eachother directions, on what to do with themselves. so, for over a few days, feldman must go around to get himself back inside of him, while robards is in search of his wife. this wrote written for haim,is very rude and was a little unfun to see him that way. i loved corey feldman's dress styles, and his dance inpressions of Michael Jackson. this was a nice teen comedy. and was very intense at the same time. i enjoyed it very much.
