Dream for an Insomniac

(Columbia TriStar)

The clumsiness doesn't end with the title -- this romantic comedy about bright, funny, confused young people in San Francisco fails to be bright or funny itself, only confused. Ione Skye is an insomniac who spends her sleepless nights thinking of clever things to say, drawing from Kierkegaard and Charles Bukowski to the Brady Bunch and Barbara Walters. She meets her romantic match in Mackenzie Astin.
