Three forty-something scientists make an incredible breakthrough in age reversal research and decide to test out their formula on themselves. They decide they'd like to go back to their twenties, but they overshoot and end up regressing into six year olds. They remain children throughout most of the ...more

The latest crop of El Cheapo DVD's hit the local (Wichita, KS) Wal-Mart recently, and this flick was among them, so I decided to plunk down a dollar and check this out.

This was apparently a 1995 Direct-To-Video offering aimed primarily at kids. Lots of silly situations (that I didn't find all that funny) and a threadbare plot about three scientists being regressed to six year olds and having to get the antidote from rival scientists who want the original formula in exchange. It seems the scientists kept their adult minds, but without the antidote they will remain in their grade school bodies for the rest of their lives.

I knew this was a make-a-quick-buck piece of schlock when the star of the piece was listed as "Art Johnson" on the back and "Artie Johnson" on the front. Once the film started rolling, I saw the familiar name of "Arte Johnson"in the credits. Arte Johnson was a versatile comedian whose star rose very high in the 60's thanks to a TV show called "Laugh-in". (Does the line, "Vaireeee eeenteresteeng!" ring a bell?) The fact that the marketers couldn't get the spelling of Johnson's name right on the packaging -- and altho his role is minor, he's the closest thing to a "name star" this turkey has -- shows how little they cared about the product.

FX for the transformation are fairly well done and shown on-screen (one of the guys even stands in front of a mirror and watches himself transform). Some funny scenes, but no great plot to write home about here.
