Synopsis

If you had a chance to meet yourself as an 8 year-old child, would that kid be happy with who you turned out to be? In Russ Duritz's case, the answer is a big "NO!"

Bruce Willis stars as Russ Duritz, a high-powered, successful "image consultant" whose life is suddenly turned upside down when he magically meets Rusty (Spencer Breslin), himself as an 8 year-old child. Rusty is a sweet, but slightly geeky, pudgy little kid who is not at all happy with who he turns out to be, a 40 year-old "loser" without a wife or a dog. Ironically, the kid helps Russ learn about himself and remember his dreams as a kid, in order to become the grown up he wants to be.
