    A classic fish out of water story gets an 80's teenage makeover in this flawed vehicle for the very talented John Cryer. Jon plays Andrew Morenski, a successful stockbroker in his late 20s wanted by mafia hitmen after a sour deal with a criminal kingpin. After a workmate is kille...( read more)d he flees, and with the aid of a razor and strategically placed hair dye, he passes himself of as a teenager back in high school. The script wants to suck out all those silly 'I've been in high school before' moments, which it does unconvincingly. The real gem of this film is Keith Coogan as Patrick, Andrew's teenage cousin. Coogan, who people might recognise from the 1987 hit Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead, is charmingly silly as Patrick. His attempts at driving provide the few funny moments of the film. Cryer is stuck in a role that takes him nowhere fast. Without room to move and demonstrate at least some gravity or comic ability he is wasted in this dreary role. It is a shame to see that after his breakout eccentric performance as Ducky in Pretty in Pink this role in a top-billing movie is so run of the mill.

    Patrick Morenski: "Okay, on one end of the spectrum you've got homo, and on the other you've got hetero. Then there's me, way the fuck over here! "

    An enjoyable and highly amusing teen flick

    Great disguise, Cryer -- EXACTLY the sort of look you want when you don't want to call attention to yourself.
