What if, for one night, you could step back into the person you thought you were going to be? Guy Park isn’t young anymore, and the life he sacrificed for family and responsibility has left him quietly stranded. When he walks into his 20th high school reunion, he’s not just revisiting old hallways and familiar faces; he’s confronting the version of himself that never got a chance to exist.
What if you could be someone else for an evening? Guy Park, who works at his family’s mortuary, decides to attend his 20th high school class reunion. But accidentally ends up in a 20th high school reunion for the private high school in town. And since the private high school only had one Asian student, they assume he is that person – a reclusive billionaire.
Guy must decide if he’ll adopt this new persona to help save his job, improve his life, or just have some fun with it. What happens next is anything but predictable.
The cast includes the usual high school stereotypes of prom queen, class president, and football heroes. But even these roles have an unusual depth to them. There’s room for everyone in this film to make discoveries about themselves. And there’s a lot of humor in their getting there. Surprises and twists make this a reunion to remember.
The Director and Screenwriter, John Woochong Kim, grew up in the San Francisco Bay area, and has figured in a lot of local press lately. The movie was filmed in Los Angeles, just as the massive Palisades fires were erupting. But Los Angeles doesn’t have an exclusive role in this film, it really feels like a local production. You could tell that the premiere showing audience was full of cast, crew and family.
We really enjoyed this movie even after attending our own 20th high school reunions! It was funny, yet true of what can happen when old grudges, romances, and real life collide.
Recommended.
