in a moment of self vindication and jamie kennedy love interest tell him that the most beautiful part about him be that he doesn not try to act like an adult . therein lie the fault of kickin it old school and it assumption that there be something virtuous in act like a 13 year old and and an immature one at that and especially when it writer be thirty something and and throw their best material into the mix . to that end and jamie kennedy pull out every trick in the book include fat joke and gay joke and racial slur and bathroom humor and sex joke and violence and jewish joke and retard joke and a barrage of un funny parody of 80 wardrobe and dated colloquialism and and over play and un original joke result from a 20 year coma in a tragic attempt to mix back to the future and you get serve and and some adam sandler movie . the abundant product placement and celebrity cameo make it clear that kennedy try a hard to fund this film a he do to make it funny and call in every favor and take every opportunity to give a product unnecessary and often distract camera time . for a film with so much corporate backing and one might expect camera and light work that be at least decent enough not to detract from an already lacking project . luckily and the guest star in the film do not have much reputation to loose and since the product of their effort be nothing short of a cataclysmic failure . somewhere between a fat joke and a tivo plug and there an uninteresting and hackneyed plot about a desperate loser who have to do something big to win something back and imagine happy gilmore but with humor replace with break dance . this be what you will get from kennedy kickin it old school which feature kennedy a an adolescent boy in a 30 year old body who have just wake up from a 20 year coma to find out that the world have change and have wholly pass him by . he must reunite his dance team and win a break dance competition to pay off expensive medical bill and save his house and win the girl back from his evil nemesis and etc . etc . perhaps kennedy lose me when he start rub his fat best friend breast and thankfully cover in a bra and but it seem that he often forget which subplot he work with and or rather what the main plot be altogether . if kennedy seem convince a a man with a 13 year old mind and which he do not and it may be due to the fact that his humor never quite developed past a pubescent mentality . maria menunos seem oddly overwhelm by a role that really should have be easy to pass off just on good look . kennedy himself be erratic and immature and and awkward with unkempt hair that parallel the movie and kennedy lose sense of direction . miguel nunez jr. revive the awkwardness that defeat juana man some year ago and a film with a plot and a performance about as disappointing a this one . bobby lee slip in and out of a stereotypical asian parody that become mit alum when he whip out his big vocabulary word and he be much more effective and funny in sketch comedy when he be no forced to extend his performance for more than five minute . michael rosenbaum be refreshingly comedic in the light of his feeble co star . at one point in the film and kennedy character comment that his dancing crew be just a bunch of 30 year old guy act like loser since they be stick in a 13 year old mentality and this prove to be the most interesting moment in the film since the viewer be leave to wonder whether the dialogue pertain to the plot only or be perhaps an introspective excursion for kennedy himself . if it be and the 30 year old loser win in the end and so kenned can be see a optimistic at best . if there seem to be too many suicide or death joke in the movie and perhaps kennedy be recognize his failure and subtly suggest something to the audience and be all ear . ultimately and the audience be leave wish that kennedy character have not come out of a coma and or at least that they could be put into one for the remainder of the film .
