Review of Young Again

The Magical World of Disney: Young Again (1986)
Season 30, Episode 13
A good forerunner for the movie BIG.
6 October 2002
This film is what got Keanu Reeves noticed. He was 22 years old, but looked like he could pass for 17. Michael Riley(Robert Urich) is a man who seems to have it all, he's rich and successful. But there's one thing he does not have, his youth. On his 40th birthday, while on a bus. Michael sees a lot of teenagers on the bus having fun, and wishes he could be 17 again. A mysterious man(Jack Gilford) on the bus, grants him that wish. Michael is now a teenager again(Keanu Reeves) and begins to have fun, goes back to school, and becomes the star player of the basketball team. Michael begins dating Tracy Gordon(Jessica Steen) the daughter of his ex-girlfriend Laura Gordon(Lindsay Wagner). A good forerunner for the Big, the story lines are somewhat similar. A good family movie. Viewers started taking notice who Keanu Reeves was. Who had yet to through his Bill and Ted and Matrix faze.
