A Tale of Two Coreys (2018)

Why so much hype?

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

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.

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.......

This is one of the first movies to come out dealing with sexual abuse in Hollywood since the Weinstien scandal broke. Unfortunately the movie has a bit of a cheap feel and rather stilted acting. It does show some abuse but it doesn't show what the viewer would want to see like the successes or famous romances of the 2 Coreys. Also Corey Haim's death is just glossed over in the post script. Maybe the next movie dealing with such a subject matter will be better.

I am the exact age of the two Coreys and had their pictures hanging all over my room. I was happy to see this Lifetime movie made. I was upset when the Two Corey's reality show displayed Corey Haim as a drug addict that could not get over his issues being a 40 year old adult. I lost my love for him and believe that Corey Feldman did the right thing by not allowing drugs to come back into his life and possibly having a midlife. He is a strong person, a true survivor. This Movie shows fans how Corey Haim got to that place in his life. Mothers can only protect your children so much and it is sad that this was allowed in Hollywood. It is shameful and sickening. I find it hard to believe that there were no witnesses to this behavior. These kids needed protection and you can't tell me that people were not around that could have stopped this. How many people does it take to make a movie? Hundreds. Shame on those people for not noticing or being silent. I hope that Corey F. knows what a brave person he is and hope he knows understands how many kids he will save by speaking out. I would be sick if this had happened to one of my kids, and most likely dead of an overdose if it would have happened to me. Corey Haim would be proud of his friend. Even though Haim's mother is mad, she will never understand and only see it from a mother's view. She should be thankful to Corey F. This movie was a great tribute to Corey Haim and his fans now understand what he went through. It was better to end this way, than on the Reality two Corey's. I cried hard after it was over. To: Corey Feldman. Thank you for clearing up Michael Jackson's name! You have no idea the pain & doubt that you lifted for his fans and I am so sorry for all your loses that you have endured in your life. Thank you!
