Frankie (Ione Skye) is looking for a man "with the soul of a poet and eyes like Frank Sinatra." Her world is black and white--literally in this film--until the blue eyes of David (Mackenzie Astin) enter the cafe where she works with her uncle and cousin. But Frankie's about to leave San Francisco for L.A. with her best friend, Allison (Jennifer Aniston), where they'll both become actresses. Time is running out for Frankie to convince David that she's the love of his life. Unfortunately for Frankie, and this film, the lackluster plot and trite characters don't give her much to work with. The dialogue is atrocious (Frankie says, with complete sincerity, "I'm going to circumnavigate his soul until he's anchored on all sides by my love"), and her character is so utterly spoiled and obnoxious you can't understand what David--or her friends--see in her. What makes the film all the more disappointing is the promising cast. Jennifer Aniston is underused, and Michael Landes does the best he can with his cliched role as a gay man who desperately wants to come out to his father but can't work up the courage. Dream for an Insomniac tries too hard to be the kind of hip '90s love story that films such as Walking and Talking and Naked in New York succeed in being. --Jenny Brown

 great cast, guilty pleasure November 17, 2007
This movie is really great if you take it for what it is - a fun romantic comedy. It's actually kind of edgy for a 90's era Jennifer Aniston flick. Ione Skye is gorgeous as ALWAYS and everyone in the cast is terrific. When this was originally released a lot of my film-snob friends snubbed it but it's been one of my absolute favorites for years. I hope others will discover it too!

I AM A JENNIFER ANISTON FAN THAT WAS THE REASON FOR MY PURCHASING OF THIS MOVIE. I FOUND IT SLOW MOVING AND UN-INTERESTING

This movie is not well know, but is one of the best romantic comedies I own. I highly recommend it.

This movie is such a complete waste of time. Don't be fooled by all of the fake reviews on this website. This movie is awful.
I love this movie September 28, 2005

I have watched this movie over and over. I disagree with the editorial review that says that Frankie is "utterly spoiled and obnoxious." Do these people watch the movies they review at all?? She is an aspiring actress, and as such, she is perhaps overly dramatic and prone to overly contrived speeches. But, aren't all aspiring actresses (professional or merely by lifestyle) that way? And don't our friends love us anyway? Are we not entitled to love?
I am sprawled across my red, velvet chaise, wrapped in a marabou stole utterly distraught over that review. I cannot go on.....
