Teenager Jett Jackson (Lee Thompson Young) does his best to balance his schoolwork with his unique side job: playing action hero Silverstone on television. That becomes more difficult when an electrical accident on set suddenly reverses real life and fantasy. Now, Silverstone is plunged into the emotional minefield of middle-school life, and Jett finds himself trying to fill a superhero's shoes -- which means battling maniacal archenemy Dr. Kragg (Michael Ironside).

Director Shawn Levy does a nice job of providing the action with a minimum amount of aggression, an approach most impressively executed in an imaginative, meticulously choreographed playground fight sequence.

Common Sense Media

A high concept body swap movie that blurs lines between reality, fantasy, and dreams, this is an ambitious slice of children's science fiction.

Rated: 4/5

Once you suspend disbelief for how the movie sets up the journey you will embark on with the lead played by Lee Thompson. The movie really delivers an exciting and well thought out character arc and accomplishes a very humbling and endearing send off for the character.
