Me Again

I don't even know who this movie is for, it's themes are more directed to an older crowd but the dumb jokes and simple writing is geared more towards children.

First off, this is a story that has been done many times before and done much better than this lazy crap.

One of the biggest problems is that David A.R white is a terrible and unfunny actor, director and writer.

They start by trying to show just how overworked Rich is, he is sleeping in his office, drinking Pepto and alka-seltzer and forgetting what day it is.

The office is crazy, paperwork everywhere, bills all over the place, you would think he is some sort of alchoholic business man but nope he is a @#$&ing pastor.

They don't justify anything he is going through, showing him drinking Alka Seltzer is supposed to be enough.

His wife is a stereotype, the kids are a stereotype and this movie is the ultimate white Christian fantasy.

The problems in this movie are not problems, the idea that the Christian god has to intervene in these petty and simple issues is just ridiculous and frankly kind of sad.

From the outside looking in, Rich Chaplin (David A. R. White) has everything that any Pastor and family man could ever want. In reality Pastor Rich has lost sight of the blessings that God has given him, including his family and ministry. When he dreams for a life other than his own, he suddenly finds himself trapped within the lives of everyone his apathy has effected. Rich quickly realizes that he is wasting his God-given chance to love and impact the most important people in his life, will he get a second chance?

Just the normal spiritual based themed movie nothing to special. Not bad but not the best.

Once a while we all need an inspiration. Me Again is a movie which talks about a person who hates his life with thoughts about what he missed in his life.

A little dream\divine intervention makes him feel the need to go back home and to a realization that he is better off with what he has is his life.

Watch the movie only when you are in mood for little inspiration. A simple plot is well presented and thus worth watching. The movie will surely get us appreciate the little things we have in our life while we whine about the missing.

Films produced by Christian based studios have a history of weak scripts and poor acting. Unfortunately, Me Again is not an exception to that trend.

Movies like 17 Again and Freaky Friday are fun body swap romps. In that light I decided to give this movie a chance.

I honestly can't think of a single redeeming quality here. The script is dense, the acting is weak and the lead overacts in major ways.

Corny doesn't do enough justice here. If you are looking for a film to inspire, challenge and strengthen your faith skip this one and give War Room, Flywheel, Courageous, The Grace Card, Facing The Giants or Fireproof a look instead.

"Its a wonderful life" would have been a much better title for the movie, "ME AGAIN" sounds inane and weird. The movie also mentions about "Its a wonderful life", let alone being hugely inspired by it. So we have the lead character who finds Life unfair as in so many other movies - the only novel thing about this is that the protagonist is a Pastor - and finds out a miracle way to know others' lives and how things in life ought to be balanced. Finally a Happy Ending blessed by God, we all feel rejuvenated, animated and excited about life albeit having watched a badly made movie. In fact, felt more like watching many movies at a time - from Bruce Almighty to Don Camillo.

The plot so loose, the screenplay so glossy and the background score quite irksome at times. It never launches well with some mediocre acting and badly executed shots which mars the movie experience right from the beginning. The ending was awesome for a movie which niggled throughout, the "hero's" speech stands out which saves the movie from hitting rock bottom. Thoroughly disappointed that the movie ends up a lackluster product despite having the thread which was destined to be great. 6/10
