Help me find out the title of this movie...(old man turns into teen again) (1 Viewer)

[Scott Weinberg]

Never before has one sub-sub-genre yielded so many bad movies:

Like Father Like Son
Vice Versa
18 Again!
Prelude to a Kiss
Dream a Little Dream

Aside from both Freaky Fridays and Big, are there any GOOD age-switching movies??

 

[Dave Farley]

I had a feeling that someone here would know the movie, David. Ernest, you were actually one of the people I thought of when I told him to check here.

 

[DavidFI]

Yeah I appreciate the suggestions on where to look and possible movies...I guess I'm going to have to go buy/rent some of these "bad" age-switching movies and see just how bad they are

"Big" was a good movie...I liked that one...I guess I pretty much like any movie with Tom Hanks in it...

 

[John Alvarez]

Even Castaway?

 

[Haggai]

Not in precisely the same genre, but pretty close, would be "Paxton's Bane" of the 2004 Critics' Top 10 lists thread: 13 Going On 30.

"Even Castaway?"

I think Cast Away is a fantastic film. Bonfire of the Vanities or The Man With One Red Shoe or The Money Pit or The Burbs -- these I can see as being problematic Tom Hanks vehicles.

Not Cast Away. Wonderful movie. As far as I am concerned, Zemeckis and Hanks are three for three (including The Polar Express, which I loved)

 

[Colin Jacobson]

What's wrong with Castaway? It took a potentially dull subject and created a very entertaining flick from it. Not Hanks' best, but FAR from his worst...

 

[John Alvarez]

Nothing was wrong with the beginning and end. It's everything in the middle I didn't like.

 

[DavidFI]

Yep...I like Castaway...and I think Colin put it well with that it is "FAR from his worst"

Yeah I don't really like the Burbs or the Money Pit either compared to his others...I haven't seen the others mentioned by Ernest...

Forrest Gump is probably my favorite along with Saving Private Ryan...
