Soul Man/ 18 Again!

Description

18 Again!: In this fantasy comedy, Jack Winston (George Burns), a swinging 81-year-old bachelor with everything but youth, blows out his birthday candles with the wish that he could be 18 again. When he and his outcast grandson David (Charlie Schlatter) are involved in a bizarre car accident, their souls switch places in the operating room. Inside David s body, Jack turns his grandson s image around, making him into a popular, confident trendsetter. At the same time, he makes some revelations about his own life and must turn his mistakes around in a hurry because David s soul, in his body, is about to be taken off life support.

Soul Man: Mark Watson (C. Thomas Howell) has been accepted to Harvard Law School, but his dreams are dashed when his parents withdraw financial support. In desperation, Mark chemically darkens his skin and wins a full scholarship intended for black students. What results is a series of comic misadventures including romantic entanglements that explode stereotypes. Suddenly, in a bout with his conscience, he learns that his clever trick denied a far more deserving student a scholarship. On his day of reckoning, Mark makes restitution and leaves everyone in the school a little changed by the experience. James Earl Jones, Rae Dawn Chong, Leslie Nielsen and Julia Louis-Dreyfus co-star in this outrageous comedy.
