What if you could go back to high school, knowing then what you know now? Great premise. However, I never really bought Kathleen Turner as a high school student, nor Nicholas Cage as her husband. They should have picked someone younger to play Peggy Sue. What happened was Cage looked fine as a high school student, but had a horrible makeup job as a 40 something and Turner didn't cut it as a high school student, yet looked normal as an adult.
Another thing that really annoyed me was Cage's teeth. There was really no point to him wearing whatever made him speak so stupidly. Helen Hunt plays Peggy's daughter and Jim Carey and Catherine Hicks play friends of Cage and Turner in high school and as adults.
There are several things that send the teenage Peggy Sue into fits of laughter. One being that her dad buys an Edsel. She also, of course, can invent things - one of those things being pantyhose (you know, not just nylons and garters), but she takes nylons and sews a panty onto them.
The one scene that really touched me was when Peggy Sue is in high school, the phone rings and it's her grandmother (who has since died since she became an adult). That gave me chills.
All in all, it's a nice movie, suitable for all ages, although I don't think little kids will care for it. People who went to school in the 50s will probably appreciate it more than say, teenagers now.
