Summary: An absolute GEM. Melts my heart every single time I see it.
Review: ... after watching it again for the 75th time tonight... I had to write a review.



This is an awesome romantic comedy. Intelligent as hell. Highly recommended. Ione Skye fans should also check out Gas Food Lodging and Say Anything. ESPECIALLY Gas Food Lodging... yet another insanely underrated film. Dream For An Insomniac is a Dream Come True for a Hopeless Romantic (such as myself). I hope it's released on DVD sometime in the near future. Until then, rent it. Buy it from amazon.com. It's inexpensive. You'll thank me. -Skip Frederiksen from the band Beauty's Confusion

Summary: A pearl among swine
Review: This is one of my absolutley favorite movies. I have rented it over and over patiently waiting for it to come out on DVD.
I also have adopted those same lines that a previous reviewer has.
It has all the qualities of an old classic film. Each time I see it I see something new in it. And the soudtrack is great. I wish it were available on CD.
No this movie is not for everyone, you really have to be someone who knows how to think and see depth in characters. It would have made a great stage play.

Summary: DFI
Review: this is a movie for thinkers . this is a movie for people who need to suspend thinking , and want to just feel good .... the words swell and move like tides , and feelings touch you in misdirection , and smiles .

if you have no life , or have not lived.... you won't get this movie . it is a waste of time for the beer belly belch bunch... this is the kind of movie you quote ... like silent running , wyanns world , wizard of oz , and trouble with tribbles .

this movie is for adults who are up after 1am , drinking coffee w/ cinomon and watch saterday morning cartoon reruns while working on serious word processing...

and I just loved it

Summary: A Philosopher's Dream
Review: "Dream for an Insomniac" is an incredible movie that I truly didn't think I would enjoy. When I first saw it, I thought it was going nowhere, but it turned out to be one of my favorite movies ever (second only to "Gone With the Wind.")

I know a lot of people think this movie in unrealistic and fails where other Gen X movies succeeded. My note to them is that this movie isn't a typical Hollywood romantic comedy, which is why it was done independently. You have to acknowledge and respect Tiffani DeBartolo (writer and director) for her wonderful sense of language. I realize some people do not talk like Frankie, David, Allison, Roberto, and Juice, but that is not the point. Enjoy this movie for the lessons in life and love it has to offer. There are so many lines from this movie that have become my mottos.

"Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with and love shouldn't be one of them."

"I either get what I want or I change my mind."

Please just give this movie a chance. I know not everyone will like it, but don't knock it until you see it.

Summary: Terrible Movie.
Review: I picked up this movie because it was on my local rental store's Picks shelf. I had never heard of it before, and I had never read a review.

It was AWFUL. I only watched it until the end because my friend and I were enjoying ourselves by cruelly insulting the main characters.

Frankie is entirely self-absorbed and pretentious. The love interest is a boring wuss. The friends are entertaining and are obviously more talented then the Couple, but they have to take a backseat to these idiots. The acting (for the main couple) is weak and stiff.

Also, way too much quirkiness. You know, the little habits and goofy details that writers stick in to make their characters seem cute and genuine. Frankie quotes Nietzshe! The gang dances to Sinatra in the coffeehouse! They giggle over who's homosexual!

Of course, the whole idea that the leading lady's life is dull and colorless till she gets a boyfriend is idiotic.

Just another lame Generation X clone of Reality Bites. Skip this one, and see a movie which stars people with an ounce of charisma or talent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Brilliant
Review: This is my absolutely favorite movie!! I just saw the whole thing and I love it! I am a fan of quoting movies, famous people, and just about anything. Frankie and David's love of quotes was one of the things i just loved about the movie. The whole principal of the movie I love as well though. It is a love story, kind of traditional, but not really. Love it Love it Love it. Oh and a really specail bonus is that David reads Frankie some of Dr. Suess's sleep book to put her to sleep. That is my favorite book (don't ask, hehe)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent!
Review: I recommend this movie to anyone! I believe that this is a movie that everyone needs to see at least once. It is excellent! I love the story line. And Frankie is a great charcter. I relate to her well... "a little on the dark side, but always aims for the good."
"Anything less than mad, passionate, extraordinary love is a waste of time. There are too many mediocre things in life to deal with, and love shouldn't be one of them." -Frankie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: If you see this movie for one thing...
Review: See it for the praise of Sinatra, Cafe' Blue eyes, cuz' we all know that no matter the tears, no matter that laughter, no matter how many smiles, frowns, giggles, laughs, chuckles, pokes, nothing could ever drown out the most important sound of all: the single insistant melisma of Frank Sinatras voice. See it for the coffee and the resolute love of Poetry, (you see I capitolize it, I hold The Word in deep respects), see if for the scrabble, the one liners that no matter how deep and profound they are, they reach the vestige of everything we feel, see if for the dancing, see it for Uncle Leo (great character) this is my favorite movie if you cant tell... But honestly if you see this wonderful, magnificent work of art, see it for one thing only, you could pick from above, but no matter the Poem, no matter the tune ole' blue eyes spouts, no matter the scarbble coffee one liners, see it for the over powering beauty, and Poetry in Ione Skyes smile.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Movie Ever
Review: This is one of my favorite movies. My best friend showed it to me because she loved it, and I loved it so much I started showing it to other people. Now, almost everyone I know has watched and loves this movie... We all swear by it. This movie is perfect whenever. If you've just lost a love, if you are in love, if you are somewhere in the middle; if you are lost in life, or if you are walking down the right path, you can't help but love the movie... anyone can relate to it, any time of year
