Kickin It Old Skool (2007) 7/10

Starring : Jamie Kennedy, Maria Menounos, Miguel A Nunez Jr, Michael Rosenbaum, Christopher McDonald
Director : Harvey Glazer
Running Time : 109 mins

Following an accident during a break dancing contest, schoolboy Justin Schumacher (Kennedy) ends up in a coma. When he wakes up 20 years later, he soon realises how much the world has changed and, with the help of his old friend Darnell(Nunez), decides to reform his break dancing troop, the Funky Fresh Boyz, in a bid to relive his lost youth as well as win back his childhood sweetheart, Jennifer (Menounos), from her horrible boyfriend Kip (Rosenbaum).

This is such a silly movie, but it doesn't go too over the top in its humour. Kennedy is good as Justin, and it's funny that even though he's the one who's supposed to be stuck with his mind in 1986, everyone around him has barely moved on from that era. Well worth watching, if only for the campy 80s moments.
