WHAT THE BOX DOESN'T TELL YOU
This movie might be too ridiculous to be awful. I'm going to buck the trend here and say a movie about a boy who falls into a coma during the height of 80's pop culture in a freak breakdancing accident, only to awaken twenty years later in the present (just in time to watch his parents foreclose on their home and his dream girl marry his eternal foe), is probably one of the most original films I've seen all year.

WHY I WOULD RENT IT AGAIN
The laughs are genuine and the cast not mentioned above perfectly cast. This isn't a movie for everybody, but it is a movie that everybody who remembers the 80's can find something to recall be it the film's soundtrack, fashion, or just grim memories of our antiquated electronics. Kennedy does this brand of comedy well and somehow, the make-up artist managed to make Menounos look average. If there's anyone whom I had expectations of its Michael Rosenbaum and the class act that he is, he delivers. Progressing from his Sorority Boys days, Rosenbaum tries his hand at being the antagonist everyone can hate.

WILL MY GIRLFRIEND/BOYFRIEND LIKE IT?
Yes.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Some are quite funny, but maybe not worth the detour.
