Jordan Sanders was heavily bullied
in school as a teenager. Now an adult, she runs her own tech company and she
has vowed not to take crap from anyone. In fact, she has become the bully
herself, treating her staff like garbage. After Jordan screamed at her, a kid
named Stevie puts a curse on Jordan, wishing that she turns back into a child.
It works, and, the next day, Jordan’s mind is stuck into a 13 year-old girl’s
body.
This film is not without charm and
cuteness, with a sweet little end message to boot, but it is not nearly as
funny as something billed as a comedy should be. The acting is decent, but this
just feels like a cheap rehash that has become the norm nowadays. Moviemakers
just reuse old premises with characters of a different gender or race. I wish
they’d give women of all cultures more original material to work with, but, I’m
not a decision-maker.
