"Me, Myself and I" is a 36-minute documentary (?) from 1989, so this one is almost 30 years old and its age shows through the fact that the protagonist in here, Corey Haim, died already several years ago a most untimely death that may or may not have been connected to his longtime drug abuse. He is the prime example of a successful actor during his teenage years or childhood whose career went south pretty quickly when he was growing into an adult. Anyway, in here he is around the age of 18 and this was written and directed by Haim's fellow actor Brooke McCarter, also dead now sadly. It basically was supposed to show us how Haim spends his free time making sports like tennis or just driving around in his car for fun. We get to meet some of his friends and see and hear interview footage with him on many occasions from start to finish. Sure we will never know how much of what we saw in here was authentic and how much was staged, but that's also not too important I guess as regardless of how real it all was, it felt completely uninteresting and I have no idea why they thought people would want to watch this. Very full of himself if you ask me. Sorry Corey, I hope you rest in peace and all, but this one was just a complete no-go. I read that Haim was dating Alyssa Milano around the time when this was made and shame she isn't included I think. Like her and she was gorgeous back then, still is today I guess. Anyway, overall these slightly under 40 minutes were a big amateurish mess. Skip them please.

1989 - what a fabulous year. i was 12, and hopelessly in love with one Corey Haim. i had his gorgeous face plastered to my wall, my locker, and all of my books. i owned all his movies - the two best of which are clearly "Dream a Little Dream" and "License to Drive", but don't diss "Lucas" or "Lost Boys". i pined for him. and part of that ritual was watching "Me, Myself and I" almost every single day.i mean, who wouldn't die over a guy that says: "I think maybe ten years from now, I'm hopefully going to be, in like, Tahiti or something. Kicking back like in my huge mansion, if everything goes right, it's all up to me. Just watching like the dolphins, and the porpoises and the sharks and the little sea horses and all that fun stuff go by in a whole different country, while things happen back here." Now that i am almost 29 and i am married, i still carry a torch for this trouble soul. i can only hope that he will end up resurrecting his career like Corey Feldman by going on The Surreal Life or Yes, But Can They Sing? aaaah Corey. i'll be loving you forever.

My teacher showed us this in class (Theatre of the Avant-Garde class) for no reason he just thought it was really funny. And it is really really funny, in a super pathetic way. Does Corey Haim really play tennis, hockey and baseball every day like his documentary claims he does? The best part is that he tries to show how important he is by showing how many crew members follow him around. It's obvious they're just laughing at him the entire time. (Asian guy snapping photos kills me!)And what was with him thinking he could compose music?? How many times can he say 'like' in one sentence!Where can I get this film I need to show it to my friends.

I don't know exactly what this movie is supposed to be, but its truly a horrible thing to watch. Its supposed to be a look into the life of Corey Haim, but the crew tells him exactly what to do and say. And yes, they actually show the crew doing this.
