Movie Review: Kickin' It Old Skool

1986 - Justin, a 10-year-old, takes a bad fall in a break-dancing contest and winds up in a coma.

2006 - Justin, now an atrophied 30-year-old played by Jamie Kennedy, wakes up in the hospital to the surprise of all involved.

As a child in an adult's body and an unfamiliar time, Justin does fairly well. He manages to round up his old group of friends, now all grown up and disillusioned. His grade school crush shows up, engaged to his old rival. To win her back and save his parents house, Justin and his "Funky Fresh Boys" must win a dance contest TV show.

Yes, it's about as good as it's sounds. There are a few laughs, and plenty of "weren't the 80s a funny time?" jokes. We didn't turn it off, but we didn't pause it when we needed to get a snack, either.

2 out of 5 stars
