Don't bother with this movie there is no moral to the story what's so ever, no climax to story, simply BLAND! Wasted an hour and a half of my life.......
As I wrote in the headline, the subject of this film is interesting but the script, the actors'direction and the actors are really mediocre. It's a pity because it would be interesting to show in a "good movie" how this cinematographic system crushes live of those young stars.
What I like best about the film is the nostalgic feeling of the 80's and seeing it through the perspective of the Coreys. Although I must admit I wonder how much of this film is truly through the eyes of Corey Haim. After all, It's been 8 years since his passing, so it's not like he can have a say on it's accuracy. But for the most part it does paint a pretty picture for Corey Feldman in comparison to Corey Haim. Albeit it was interesting to get an idea of how they met and basically relive the 80's with them. Which was quite fun for me being that I'm the same age range as the Coreys.
However, regardless of my nostalgic childhood bias, I can't ignore the fact that the direction of the film was half fast.The casting was weak, especially for Corey Feldman. Not only did Elijah Marcano not look like Feldman, which is forgivable, but he definitely did not embodied the energy of Corey Feldman. I've seen enough behind the scenes interviews, commentary and the like to know what Feldog is like. This kid was too laid back and mediocre at best. Shame on the director for not pushing him more. The pacing of the film is somewhat basic. It almost feels like a scripted documentary rather than a movie at times. Also I felt the music was a tiny bit over done at times.
In a nut shell I wouldn't expect too much if you are planning to see this film. It's very basic and a good watch if you are curious about the Coreys in general. But you'll probably get a lot more accuracy just from some basic online research. Hopefully the movie will inspire you to do just that. The movie gets a pass, it's just a shame that the movie wasn't as entertaining as it could be if given better direction. Because the story of the Coreys is very interesting from a documentary standpoint. So imagine if you truly stylized their story in the form of a really good movie. What a shame.

Both "Corey's" are certainly great actors. But this film is a straight up "no", better yet a huge "NO". This film makes me upset. Why?
But correct me if I'm wrong but this story seems to be told only from Corey Feldman's point of view.Basically one sided. And my issue is, what makes him think that he has every right to say what happened in Corey Hiam's life when most of the time he wasn't there. Sure we know about the drugs and the sex and the abuse that was going on from both homes. But come on Feldman you could have done better than this.
However I do like how he explains that Michael Jackson was a kind gentle person ( as we the audience and some knew already ). And I really liked that. But on Corey Haim's part, I don't think the film did him any justice. Yes they were best friends but the film could have been a little less BS and I just wish this film wasn't all for how Corey Feldman "believes" he was a good friend to Corey Haim.

This movie is an adaptation of a fraudulent book by the name of Coreyography, Corey Feldman's Memoir. This book is ground zero when it comes to this (Truth) scam he released on the tenth anniversary of Corey Haim's death. You know, the one he wanted $10 million dollars to release names in, that one. Watch this to see what history Corey Feldman wants you to believe. From adding sexual abuse to Corey Haim's history to beating up bully's in his own Corey Feldman should be ashamed.. but hey, if anyones heard his music i'm not sure he's capable of Shame or Honesty. The Haim family were not involved in this disaster.

- TriviaJamison Newlander, who plays a cop in this film, starred with both Coreys in the film "The Lost Boys." Newlander played Alan Frog, brother to Corey Feldman's Edgar Frog, and friend to the late Corey Haim's Sam Emerson.
- GoofsThe Coreys are shown playing with a Super Aqua Blaster Soaker 1200, a squirt gun that didn't exist in 1985 when the scene takes place. In fact, air pressurized pump-style squirt guns were not popular until the Super Soaker 50 debuted in 1991.
