Me Again

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.

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.

True, it is a story about a man learning a profound lesson through a trek of uncommon experiences. True, these experiences are somewhat supernatural and explained in the miracle-from-God cheesy style. And true, such experiences are by no means innovative and can be considered a fairy-tale enchantment. Still, it is a little gem that illuminates in a miniature yet successful way, thanks to its essential message, its gradual and managed delivery and its surprisingly good transition from what feels like misplaced pieces of chaos to a complete conclusion with an apt reflection.

The start of the film is the end of the film, though nothing is revealed (nothing but the message that it is going to be a family film classified within the usual formula and that it will end happily). The lessons learned and the process are indeed experienced through watching the story that fills the gap. Rich starts as a disoriented mid-aged man who has lost his purpose in life and prays in the hopes of being someone else, anyone other than himself, and for your convenience, indeed, what he gets is what he wishes for. The twist is that it happens uncontrollably. Rich begins to be able to control different individual, some seemingly being predetermined, while others feel completely random. Through stepping into others' shoes and viewing with different eyes, Rich slowly learns and grasps the meaning in life, along with other significant messages about family and love, and his marriage most noticeably. He decidedly turns his disadvantage into determination and strives for a new life and a place back to his family whom he misses. As the transitions between different living beings increase and the randomness seems to set in, a sense of unconstrained chaos arises, causing the film to be slightly off its track, but it is ultimately satisfying to see a nice conclusion and relation and at least some degree of relevance in the things and ideas involved.

The performances are mediocre but in no way hinder the development of the plot line and the display of message. The closure has the ability to strengthen the film and reinforce ideas, and conclude in a satisfying style and in a proper tone. All in all, the story is organized well and everything has the closure it deserves. Amid the silliness there are quite a few heartfelt and hilarious moments that adds a foundation of sentiments to this well-developed indie production.
