Fans of the time traveler genre and the teen comedy might enjoy this Copola-directed comedy. Kathleen Turner plays a middle-aged newly divorced mother attending her high school Reunion. After an unexpected collapse, she wakes up in the 1960s and is teenage Peggy Sue all over again, except that she knows everything that she knew in the future. What at first seems like an incredibly awkward dream (especially if you have to repeat all of the silliness of your high school years), turns out to be much more. She solicits the help of high school brain, Richard (Barry Miller) to help find a way to get her back. In the meantime, her reunion with the past allows her to change her future. (Yeah, one of those...).
Though often a hilarious comedy, it may be one well suited for older audiences, since the tackiness of both the middle-age attendees of their 1980s high school reunion and their 1960s teenage counterparts may seem cheesy to your modern teenager (which will, probably, in turn seem cheesy to future generations). But, still, the movie offers good laughs mostly from Turner. Look for a very young Sophia Copola as Peggy Sue's younger sister, in addition to many familiar and some then-unfamiliar faces (Jim Carrey) in supporting roles.
