Do Over
“Joel Larsen is 14 today. The problem is, he was 34 yesterday.”
Thirty-four-year-old Joel Larsen is an unmarried, dissatisfied salesman when a freak accident jettisons him 20 years into the past to his freshman year of high school. Now, back in 1981 with his 34-year-old mind trapped in his 14-year-old body, Joel (newcomer Penn Badgley) has the unique opportunity to make things turn out differently, both for him and his embarrassingly dysfunctional family. The ultimate wish-fulfillment comedy, Do Over proves that sometimes it does take a boy to do a man's job. Josh Wise, Angela Bethany Goethals (Storytelling), Gigi Rice (The John Larroquette Show), Michael Milhoan (Something So Right) and Natasha Melnick (Freaks and Geeks) also star.
