juneebuggy This was a VERY B-movie retelling of the relationship between Corey Feldman and Corey Haim, including the start of their teen friendship during the '80s, their rise to fame and their struggles with drugs, partying, and the untimely death of Haim in 2010. No real secrets given away here and also a one sided telling through the eyes of Corey Feldman alone.This is a very basic movie, it watches sorta like a behind the music documentary with dramatizations of the situations/years unfolding. The acting is bad and the story disjointed or with a skipped over storytelling style. We see their first movie roles, their families, the partying, the drugs, the abuse, its sad.We get glimpses of Michael Jackson, (nothing given away there) and both Feldman and Haim are sexually abused by industry men who are meant to be watching after them. If this movie had been made 10 years ago the scandal and focus would have been on the drug abuse now its sexual abuse. The very sad thing about this is that both of these guys were just used up and spit out by the industry. I remember watching the reality show The Two Coreys which for the most part focused on Haim trying to get or stay sober and break back into Hollywood. Sadly he lost his fight, this is briefly touched on here. The ending is haunting.

jadediamond Okay, you have to take in account this is a Lifetime movie. The editing and transitions weren't great. The voiceovers weren't necessary and sometimes it felt like a documentary instead of a movie. I think this is the movie Corey Feldman did crowdfunding to get made. He did the best he could do on his budget. With that said, this was a good movie if you take those factors into consideration. The actors were great. The guy who played young Corey Feldman was pretty good even though he did not look exactly like Corey Feldman. But the other actors did favored the younger and older version of the Two Coreys. It's a good story about the sexual deviant behavior in Hollywood with the homosexuality and the pedophilia. Instead of allowing these two boys to be teenagers, they were exposed to an endless supply of drugs, assigned pedophiles to chaperone them. Haim's parents were unaware of the things he went through on the film set. Feldman's parents saw him as a meal ticket instead of treating their child like normal parents would. It seemed like Feldman had to raise himself including fired his father as his manager when he realized his father was stealing from him and making bad management decision that assisted in shortening Feldman's career. When the King of Pop can't reason with you, then you know you're a bad managerI liked how Feldman showed us a glimpse of Michael Jackson through their unique friendship. I don't know why Hollywood and mostly white people are obsessed with labeling Michael Jackson as a pedophile even when Feldman, Macaulay Culkin, Emmanuel Lewis, and even his alleged victims all said he never sexually abused them. Yes, Michael was weird and a man child, but he also had a heart of gold like Feldman allowed us to see in the bathroom scene at Neverland. This was a great movie with the budget Feldman had. It was great honor to Michael Jackson, Corey Haim, and even Carrie Fisher, who tried to give Feldman some words of wisdom on the set of the Burbs movies. Based of what we know from Corey Haim from the biographies, the documentaries, and the scripted reality TV series is that he would have loved this movie and wanted to be apart of it. Even though the ups and downs the Coreys experience through their twenty year off again on again friendship, I am glad that the two Coreys reconciled with each other and that Haim was in a good place when he left this world. Overall, it was a good movie.

wmusiwa 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.......

viewsonfilm.com Do you remember Corey Feldman and Corey Haim? I do. They were young actors from the late 80's and early 90's. They became buddies and did at least seven films together. Being about the same age as both of them, I must have binged-watched License to Drive and Dream a Little Dream profusely.Anyway, A Tale of Two Coreys is my latest write-up. In chronological order, it glosses over Feldman and Haim's twenty-plus-year friendship. With its 1986 chic look, its cheesy music soundtrack, and its even cheesier production values, "Coreys" is TV movie personified. Actually, it's a Lifetime movie and an underwhelming one at that.Speaking of Lifetime movies, well they're a guilty pleasure of mine. They are conflicting and manipulative and they suck you right in. A Tale of Two Coreys does go to some dark places and it somewhat shocks you with what supposedly happened to these dudes (drug addiction, being from broken families, being sexually abused on movie sets, etc.).However, where most Lifetime flicks clock in at two immense hours, "Coreys" registers at about ninety minutes (and that's with commercials). Although cutesy and dire at the same time, "Coreys" doesn't scratch enough surface nor does it give these BFF's a thorough testimonial.As for the acting, well there's four troupers that play Feldman and Haim over various periods of time. With the exception of Justin Ellings who channels young Haimster, the other three don't resemble their mannerisms or personalities in any capacity. No one gives a lousy performance mind you. It's just that the casting by Dean E. Fronk and Donald Paul Pemrick (two veterans in their field) is kinda off.In conclusion, The Tale of Two Coreys doesn't suffer with its straight-line storytelling and odious Hollywood insight. Also, you can say that director Steven Huffmaker tries to make you feel somewhat nostalgic (watch for a cameo involving Keith Coogan who was once a teen idol himself). Nevertheless, I just can't find it in my heart to recommend "Coreys". Might I suggest watching The Two Coreys reality show instead. It's the actual guys on screen. Yeah, it may have been scripted but to an extent, it's poser-free. Rating: 2 stars.
