Summary: "Ah, It's Great To Be Young And Insane" - Michael Keaton
Review: The Dream Team is just another one of those killer comedies that no one went to see when it was originally released, but has now found a nice following on home video. I actually saw the film in theaters and thought it was hands down the funniest movie of the year!First you have a great comedy ensemble who also can play drama just as effectively. Michael Keaton is Billy Caufield ("I'm an escaped mental patient with a history of violence"), Christopher Lloyd is Henry Sikorsky, an overly organized person ("Why don't we bring this up in group? Or maybe we should just hug?"), Peter Boyle is Jack McDermott who has a Messiah complex ("Arise and walk, my son"), & Stephen Furst is Albert Ianuzzi, who only speaks in TV ads and baseball jargon ("Nobody doesn't like Sara Lee"). If you don't already know by now, these guys are four mental patients, whose doctor, played by Dennis Boutsikaris ("One more afternoon in the rec room and I'm gonna have to go on Thorazine myself"), decides to take them to a baseball game in New York. Only things don't go as planned, as the good doctor ends up getting knocked unconscious and whisked away to a hospital, leaving his patients all alone on the streets of New York City. And the comedy ensues! As the gang tries to figure out a way to find their doctor, they end up finding "themselves" in the process. Add Lorraine Bracco (of "Goodfellas" and "The Sopranos" fame) as Keaton's girlfriend ("So am I walking home with an escaped mental patient or what?") and you know you're set to have a good time. What makes the film memorable is that it has the perfect blend of laugh outloud humor ("We're a special combat unit with the United States Marine Corps and we've been tracking some Libyan terrorists. In fact I think we've got 'em trailed to a bagel shop around the corner.") combined with some tender dramatic moments, that work together seamlessly. The DVD is your typical standard DVD. No extras, other than the original theatrical trailer. Happily the film is presented in Anamorphic Widescreen in its original aspect ratio of 1.85:1, which looks pretty good. A little dark in some spots, but not too much to complain about.
So if you're looking for a comedy that's full of great laughs as well as a good story with some dramatic moments thrown in for good measure, pick up The Dream Team today. It's the sanest choice to make! The Dream Team - a very funny movie. Henry - "We're directly under the Hudson River now". Billy - "Yeah. You guys see those tiles up there, all those individual tiles? Doc, isn't true that if even one of those tiles were to come loose, like millions and millions of gallons of water would come pouring down on us and crush us like tiny little bugs? (pauses) Is that a leak up there? You see those tiles? They're leakin' water! Oh, my God!" Jack - "I will hold back the waters". Billy - "Thanks, Jack".

Summary: funniest comedy ever !
Review: There is only one other movie ever made better than Dream Team and that was Gone With the Wind. I have watched it at least 10 times and laugh just as hard ever time! I want to give it to my friends as gifts. How can we persuade the powers that be to release it again? Please, please, please.

Summary: A Movie With Very Good Ideas
Review: This is a funny movie. The ideas and such presented in the film are very original and hilarious. However, what this story lacks is an effective story-line. It is a movie with very funny characters, but no terrific plot.

Summary: "Entertainment for the Whole Family"
Review: This is one of my all time favorite Modern Comedies. This is a quick moving inner city adventure. Michael Keaton reminds me of Jim Carrey in this flick, hes so unpredictable, so ludicrous, that it tickles you with laughter. The interesting part of this movie is that I can see how close some people in todays society are not far from being committed to the funny farm, some just hide it better than others. I think all the characters mixed well, they didnt play off of each other. Howard Zieff the Director is a genious, and I would like to thank him and would encourage him to make more of these type of movies.

Summary: A wonderful comedy.
Review: This is the sort of movie you can see a hundred times without getting bored. Four 'lunatics' try to track down their psychiatrist after he has been mugged. Hampered by their own mental problems and a society which is less than understanding they manage to find him and protect him from two corrupt policemen. A good script is further enhanced by excellent team-work from the actors includig Michael Keaton, Christopher Loyd, Stephen Furst and Peter Boyle. At theend of the movie you truly begin to wonder who is really crazy: the four nutcases, or the society around them.

Summary: a complete riot
Review: This movie definitely goes down as one of my all-time favorites as far as a comedy goes. From Michael Keaton in his skin tight awesome 80s Springsteen jeans to Christopher Lloyd's walking around with a lab coat on and a clipboard saying " I want you to know this is all going on my report." Its always the small things that you sometimes won't even notice until you watch a movie for the second or third time that really make you laugh. I think that compulsive liars are some of the funniest people in the world, and having Michael Keaton play one is perfect.
Not too many movies have come out recently that will really make you laugh (besides dumb and dumber and a few others) but just the way people dress in this movie will make you laugh, and the acting is hilarious.

Summary: We wonder who is really insane
Review: This movie has Michael Keaton, Peter Boyle & Chris Lloyd. This movie shows us that being mentally disturbed is a relative expression. It shows clearly that you can pretend to be sane and get away with it.This is done so well in this movie. A must see!

Summary: the second best movie about schizos ever!
Review: this movie is awesome,but borrowed heavily from one flew over the cuckoos nest.4 mental patients are taken on an outing and thier doc gets mugeed.they wander about new york for the next few days.the 4 are:michael keaton with a low frustration tolerance-he beats people up a lot over anything,2-the crazy doc from back to the future as guy who is convinced hes a dr.3-a guy who thinks hes jesus christ and finaly,a chubby little man who only communicates in baseball terminology.children wont understand this but its pretty harmless.it is the second best movie starring mental patients ive ever seen.it is sad in one spot but it goes past quickly.keatons girlfriend is not all that sexy.but i guess you cant be picky when youre an escaped schizo.the guy who acts like a dr is obnoxious with his by the book attitude.michael keaton however does an excellent job in this one.its his best performance.there is a mess up in the film.at the hospital,the real dr has aq cast on a foot of his.later yet,he is helped out of a van with the cast on the other foot.a great film.

Summary: Nothing quite like four crazies on the streets of New York!
Review: This movie is hilarious. Michael Keaton, Peter Boyle, and Christopher Lloyd all give career comedy perfomances. The whole idea of four totally crazy psychiatric patients roaming the streets of New York looking for their doctor is great. Michael Keaton is perfect as the leader of the group who's view of reality is way off. Peter Boyle is great as the former executive Jesus Christ messiah. Christopher Lloyd's character (the patient who thinks he's a doctor) adds the perfect spice to the movie to make a great two hour film. I can't wait until the DVD comes out.
