Kickin It Old School (2007)

It’s 1986 and 12yo Justin is leader of the Funky Fresh Boys (a high school breakdance crew), has a crush on a grrl named Jenny, and a rivalry with the bratty Kip, until a breakdance accident puts him in a coma. Justin (Jaimie Kennedy) awakens in 2006, thanks to the power of Herbie Hancock, a puts his group back together to save his parent’s house and win back his childhood sweetheart who is now dating Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum as the adult Kip).

It’s the classic nerds versus jocks storyline from movies and, while it may not be as good as Revenge Of The Nerds or Dodgeball, it’s better than many others. It is loaded with eighties film references, music, fashion, and cameo appearances (including Knight Rider’s David Hasselhoff and Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’s Alan Ruck) to keep you entertained (and make you cringe). Rosenbaum is great as he takes his evil persona to a new high.
