February 13, 2007Contrived poop. If these people really exist I hope we never meet. Let's be weird and free-spirited for the sake of being weird and free-spirited. Insert fart noise here...

December 6, 2007I love this movie. It is my favorite chick flick of all time! It is very hard to explain why I love this movie, but I remember the first time that I watched it I had to watch it again immediately. I watch it whenever I am in need of an awesome - sappy- beautiful - chick flick.

November 16, 2006Ione Skye is a beautiful Wallflower. Proving that even the quirky black sheep of the family can live happily ever after.

September 22, 2006Tiffanie DeBartolo should never again be able to write, type, speak, or in any way communicate her ideas of "creativity" to the world.

It's talky, clumsy and a bit trivial, but the talk is rarely dull, and there's an integrity about its clumsiness: It's harder to be smooth when you have things you really want to say. Full Review

A slight, sleekly polished debut feature propelled by a kinder, gentler Swingers vibe. Full Review

Peter Keough, Boston Phoenix
A romantic comedy about bright, funny, confused young people in San Francisco, it fails to be bright or funny itself, only confused. Full Review

Barbara Shulgasser, San Francisco Examiner
All of the playful dialogue -- and this movie is joyfully full of talk -- is handled well in DeBartolo's savvy script and given life by actors who seem to truly embody the idealism of the characters. Full Review

If you're looking for a safe romantic comedy featuring 20-somethings, then you might enjoy Dream for an Insomniac. If you like more challenging films, you won't regret skipping it. Full Review
