Me Again

At first glance this movie is truly corny in parts. I almost turned it off in a couple different spots that were painful to watch they were so bad. But because there was content/circumstances in the storyline I could relate to in my own life, curiosity kept me watching. And I'm glad I did. The corny parts all seem to become justified, forgivable, and actually endearing in the nuggets of wisdom and feel good scenes that result. The message is a powerful one...one that I have turned back to and watched again, and that brought me to tears the second time around allowing me to hear things I missed the first time. God does have mysterious ways of speaking to us...even it's through somewhat corny outlandish movies.

The beginning of the movie was good, funny moments through out... BUT this movie is basically quantum leap, the main character rich is too similar to sam and his best friend is just like al and half the story line is straight out of quantum leap episodes, even the actor that plays the angel in this movie is the same actor who plays god in the last episode of quantum leap. plus not as good as quantum leap so not really impressed. The scenes in this movie where rich has "leaped" into female characters is just like quantum leap. The dialog between rich and tony is just like sam and al. If you like recycled movies then you will probably like this, i would recommend this movie to anyone that hasn't seen quantum leap, then i would suggest that you watch quantum leap as it is far better than this movie. The last ten minutes of this movie was the worst religious rant i have ever heard in a while.

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.

Me Again (2011), directed by and starring David A. R. White, offers a delightful mix of humor, heart, and spiritual exploration. It takes on the familiar yet refreshing concept of personal transformation with a supernatural twist, which makes for a fun and engaging narrative.

Me Again is about Pastor Rich Chaplin (played by White), a man disillusioned with his life, family, and faith. The film introduces a clever plot device: Rich is given the chance to experience life through the eyes of different people, including a wealthy man, a troubled model, an elderly house cleaner and even a teenage boy . This "body-swapping" aspect allows for hilarious moments, but it also dives into deeper reflections on empathy, gratitude, and the human experience. White's direction ensures that the humor never overshadows the message, keeping the tone light yet impactful.

White's performance is charming, and he handles the comedic shifts in personality with ease. His portrayal of a man grappling with his sense of purpose feels authentic, and the moments of realization come across as sincere, not overly preachy. The supporting cast, including Ali Landry and Bruce McGill, add solid performances, bringing out both the humor and emotional weight of the story.

What makes *Me Again* stand out is its blend of lighthearted entertainment and spiritual themes. It's the kind of film that doesn't feel heavy-handed with its messages of faith and redemption but instead invites viewers into a thoughtful journey through the main character's eyes. The story emphasizes that personal change comes not from external circumstances but from a change of heart, which is both relatable and uplifting.

Visually, the film embraces a clean, simple style that complements its focus on the characters' emotional journeys. It may not be a big-budget spectacle, but its charm lies in its sincerity and the relatability of its message. The film's pacing is well-balanced, giving audiences enough time to reflect on the lessons being learned without slowing the momentum of the story.

Overall, *Me Again* is an enjoyable, family-friendly movie with enough humor to keep things lively and enough heart to inspire reflection. David A. R. White successfully blends comedy and thought-provoking spiritual themes, making this a memorable and worthwhile watch for those looking for an uplifting, feel-good film.
