A young breakdancer hits his head during a talent show and slips into a coma for twenty years. Waking up in 2006, he looks to revive his career with the help of his friends, while making a play for the same girl he had a crush on before the accident.
Obviously, you can tell from the plot this is gonna be cheesy as it can be. Add Jamie Kennedy to the mix and you know it's got serious blow potential. Well, it didn't let me down at least, because blow it did. By the end, I wished I'd have hit my head and managed to maintain a coma for at least an hour and a half.
I admit, I did get some laughs out of the 80s pop culture references, from the terrible clothes to the break-dancing to the Pop Rocks and Garbage Pail Kids and Mr. Roboto... I can relate to all of those (too well). That part of the film was pretty funny but there was no way it could sustain 90 minutes worth of laughs based on that.
To me, Jamie Kennedy is just a bad actor who isn't all that funny and all his co-stars don't really fare much better at generating the comedy. Jamie seems like he could be funny at skit comedy, not full length movies, because he wears thin really quickly. Most of the jokes are fairly easy to spot coming too. Kids might get some laughs though, in a dopey way.
