Ok, this is from Dark Horizons, a script review of a movie that would never get made but I would kill to see:
COREY HAIM AND COREY FELDMAN COMMIT SUICIDE:
Is a highly fictionalised story about Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, the glorious child stars, and their tragic fall from grace into addiction and depression, their adventures at misery's impetus, and their eventual longing for death. And it's very, very funny.
The tone is an oddly absurd one in which celebrities go from adoration to ridicule in as little as two weeks, Corey Haim auditioned for the part of Edward Scissorhands, and rehab is this sort of beach party paradise full of porn-stars-cum-therapists, volleyball, and skinny-dipping with Drew Barrymore
The characters are somewhere between goofy parody, real life and a cynical fantasy.
The plot, in which after a couple weeks in rehab the Coreys find themselves has-beens and eventually plot a trip to Florida to fun young girls and do drugs or, failing that, kill themselves is somewhere between happily ludicrous and depressingly believable.
But most importantly, the whole thing is just inspired, from the imagery (the Coreys, wearing long shorts and t-shirts because they're embarrassed of their bodies, being humiliated at beach volleyball by two oiled, spandexed athletes who then give one another a high five reminiscent of the ones the Coreys have given each other throughout), to the various turns of events that befall the nominal brothers (at one point while Feldman is talking to his girlfriend from rehab, she's being funned by Anthony Michael Hall while she's on the phone) to the dialogue ("So, I said, Spiely, baby, I need my soda or I can't be Mouth, right? Well, no one had ever called him that before so all he could say was 'You little punk ash-hole what kind of soda do you like?' And that's how we got the Pepsi deal. Hey, honey, could you rub my crotch a little?")
Oscillating between absurdism and satire, COREY HAIM AND COREY FELDMAN COMMIT SUICIDE is memorable and unpredictable. How easy would a picture like this be to get made? Not very. How much do I want to see this? A lot.

Ah yes, the Coreys.
Quote from Feldman -"I've been at the bottom man, I know what it's like to be scrabbling around in a dumptser looking for something to sell for crack"
Quote from Haim - "I try to wear matching socks, it's very important"

I would see it only if the Coreys were in it.
They rule.
The Lost Boys rules.
License to Drive rules.

I completly agree. I read that report on aint it cool news yesterday and thought that it sounded like the most looney film. Kind of reminds me of the inspired insanity of Being John Malkovich. The two Coreys. They really did think they were going to take over the world together. Poor misguided fools.
