18 Again!

ComedyFantasyRomance100 min

After a car accident, 81-year-old millionaire Jack Watson switches bodies with his 18-year-old grandson David, leaving Jack to navigate his grandson's life while David lies comatose in Jack's aged body. George Burns is Jack, bluffing his way through youth with only a grandfather's idea of how teenagers think, while Charlie Schlatter's David is stranded on the other side of the swap as the family considers pulling the plug. To stop them, Jack has to pass as David long enough to make the impossible story believable.
