Dream Team (1989)

The Dream Team

"The Dream Team" to me is one of those overlooked classics. The plot of this movie is funny from the start. A psychiatist takes 4 mental patients on a trip to New York where he gets attacked and they are left on there own. Micheal Keaton is such a good actor anyway, but the four together play off of each other so well. It is just a great comedy in the old fashioned way. No filth and vulgarity that some people think is the only way to do a comedy these days, just a great lot-of -fun movie. Very worth watching and owning. Thanks Amazon for supply the hard to find movies. You are my only movie supplier!!! November 2, 2008

Dream Team DVD

I would highly recommend this movie. It was most enjoyable, funny, touching without violence, sex or offensive language. The actors were perfectly selected for their characters. I loved the way. Their characters evolve in their relationship with one another, as well as individually. July 22, 2008

"Swing and a Miss...."

In case you have not seen this movie, the line above comes from Ianuzzi, the Phil Rizutto want a be. Okay, you have four patience coming from the Trenton hospital for the clinically insane who are on a 'field trip' to a Yankee game.

You start off with a few neat surprises at the beginning while they are in the hospital. Then you get to see them for the first time out of the hospital, driving along the NJ Turnpike, viewing the twin towers. Billy says: Hey what the heck, we're already here, let's throw up the other one. claiming he was one of the architects. The banter back and forth between the patients sounds a lot like lockeroom banter.

When they finally make it to a stop in NY, things get ugly for the Doc and very difficult for them. Seemingly, the message subtlely being given is that there is very little difference between those who are institutionalized and some on the 'outside.' Witness the professionals hitting on the waitress in the restauarant, the guys at the bar, Jack getting a witness. What a hoot, even a man dressed up like a chicken, think about it, it is crazy.

You will get to really like Jack - the religious psychotic, Henry - the clean freak, Ianuzzi - the catatonic and Billy - the one with the tendency toward violence.

Although some may say this is too much poking fun at those with limitations, the story is actually a touching one with a hint of hope. Here you have four individuals who see that they may, if given a chance, get another shot at life as it could be.

Enjoy the dream team and see it often, definately worth the price, the time and the mesage. May 22, 2008
