In a modern-day reworking of Mark Twain's classic story, Tom Canty, an average kid living with his grandfather, longs to be an actor. Due to his outlandish behavior, and his tendency to quote lines from his favorite plays, Tom is a bit misunderstood by his schoolmates as well as his grandfather. Tom's best friend and mentor, Miles, is an 'over-the-hill, retired' actor (Vincent Spano) who lives in the neighborhood. Although Miles has his own struggles, he tries to be supportive and lead Tom down the right path.One afternoon, Tom sneaks onto the set of Teen Spy to meet his hero, Eddie Tudor. Eddie Tudor, the famous (and infamously spoiled) child star of Teen Spy, is making everyone's life difficult on set. Little does Eddie know, this demanding behavior is about to get him fired. The two boys switch clothes, and lives, for the afternoon. But when the production suddenly moves to Miami, the boys are stuck in their assumed identities. As both boys struggle to get back to their lives, everyone involved learns a thing or two about being a family.
Editor's Note
This contemporary remake of the classic Mark Twain tale follows Tom, a normal kid who lives with his granddad but dreams of becoming a famous actor. Constantly spewing quotes from his favorite Broadway shows, Tom is a bit of an outcast at school. Even his own grandfather doesn't fully understand him. Tom only feels in synch with his best friend Miles, who is a retired actor with issues of his own. Everything changes when one day on a whim, Tom goes to the set of TEEN SPY and witnesses the rumored bad behavior of spoiled child star Eddie Tudor. The two boys switch clothes for what's supposed to be just one afternoon, but an unexpected location change causes the boys' roles to be reversed indefinitely.
