Plenty of 80s loved up and loveable determination, perseverance, and personal will power, freedom, and dash of 80s signature toughness, and attitude - coupled with dreams, dreaminess, passion, and fantasy.Comes across with more than a touch of - real, and regular life in a fantasy, and fantasy in real, and regular life.The characters are cute, casual, natural, genuine, relatable, charming, fun, interesting, attractive, and un-pretentious.An America behind what Springsteen, and Mellencamp fantasized, and celebritized - but this is the REAL life and dreams and fantasies behind the real deal - Sweet, fun, beautiful, dreamy, determined, perserving, and believing. That special sense and awareness of a greater dream, and reality, in the midst of one that is sort of already pretty great as it is - but normal. The astral dreams kick in, it skirts the broad precipice between sci-fi and fantasy, never fully crossing the line into one or the other - again in the 80s believable, fun, innovative, and loved up spirit."Dream, dream, dream. That is all I want to do!"The music score is great too!In this day and age, Dreams Come True is an equally enjoyable escapism from both the mundane, and the overly contrived that can make you laugh, and feel good and interested about things - Just as it was intended to be when it was created in '84!Great movie, and the neon and the sparkles make it even greater! :)

I first saw this film in the late 80's when I hired it from Rainbow Video. In hindsight it's not too bad for what it essentially is: a B-grade fantasy romance flick. The story revolves around a young couple who meet at a go-kart race track and embark on a series of wacky and sometimes dangerous adventures when they are astral-traveling. It's mainly aimed at a teenage audience, although some might find the plot a bit difficult to understand especially when it tends to be overshadowed by sex scenes. Although hardly considered a classic, it's definitely more entertaining than some of the sanitized PC garbage that often gets served up as entertainment these days.

This movie is a pisser! It's hard to find information about this movie and not hard to see why: it's a cheap, thinly veiled excuse to watch a cute couple getting it on every few minutes. Actually, that's also it's main appeal. The special effects are really hokey, but it's nice and sexy and there's a sweet scene involving a piece of cake (no, it's not what you think! ). The lead guy looks great in a pair of jeans. Who cares about the lack of script/plot/premise? This movie came out in 1984 but it had more of a 70s feel about it, especially the hairstyles, the special effects and the geeky best friend! Anyway, I enjoyed this movie a lot and I'm trying to get a copy of it as we speak.

Anyone who has viewed Dreams Come True and can bring himself to comment on it at all is indeed quite a special person. I lived and breathed this film for a couple of days many years ago, while transcribing the dialogue for foreign distributors.The remarkable part of Dreams Come True is that we have characters who can astrally project--how cool!--and they choose to enact the tamest, dullest fantasies. Between the unfortunately low budget and the subpar performances, it is a cruel waste of an interesting idea. Nevertheless, I salute anyone who finishes making a film, let alone gets it distributed. Dreams Come True is bad enough to enjoy for its badness, and that's an accomplishment.
