Review
1991 marked the year Corey Haim disappeared
from mainstream films and started running around in cheap B-movies
consisting of more or less silly action and a pretty girl or two.
Dream Machine was his second such film of the year, after
Fast Getaway,
and granted, it's actually a step up from that one. The plot is moronic,
but the film is a puerile and not
altogether unengaging celebration of the ultimate fantasies of male
youth: pretty girls, fast cars, and pranks. The scenes involving Haim's
frat boys liven things up and constitute a fun contrast to the
perversely sombre Randall England as the antagonist Lance. Haim does
well enough with what he has to work with, and although he and Brittney Lewis
look like an unlikely couple at first, the young Canadian has the
charisma to make you believe he could woo her.
