Back in the Day Audience Reviews

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Jonah Abbott There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Jillian Carr I have adored Michael Rosenbaum for many years and this movie is definitely one of my favorites. There's a lot of Michael in this movie (and I don't mean the fact that he wrote, produced, directed and starred in it). You can really tell he put a lot of heart into telling this story, of his life basically. His character makes you feel, not just for him, but the man behind him.....for Michael. He makes you wanna know him on a deeper, more personal level. In watching this character, you're actually getting a glimpse into Michael's life. He has so many talents and the main one's you get to see here are not just how funny he is, but you get to see the love he has for his friends. It's an amazing film and I would recommend it to anyone whether you're a fan or not, I think a lot of people can relate to what "Jim" is going through. Plus, hello, 80's references lol
subxerogravity I really did like the concept of the film. Michael Rosenbaum plays an actor unhappy with the way his life went, and when he comes back home to his high school reunion and tries to relive his glory days, which includes rekindling the magic with his high school sweet heart. It sounds like the regular formula but it's actually done more sophisticated than expected. Much props to Rosenbaum who was able to direct and act at the same time getting a lot from his character. The movie is filled with a few laughs, the best I feel come from a character named Ron, played by Nick Swardson who peaked in Jr. High after everyone was able to grow facial hair like he could.Although all the characters are interesting not all the actors were. I did not feel the chemistry that would suggest these guys are friends, yet alone for 20 years. I did not feel it click.Plus, this may be me nick picking, but the movie suggest that they are the class of 1994, yet I kept getting a late 80s vibe from the whole thing. I feel they really missed an opportunity to make fun of the 90s that could have added some much needed jokes. Overall it was good.
j-egeberg This movie just straight up sucks! Is it even allowed to call this movie a comedy?All the characters are trying so hard to be funny, and to be someone they're clearly not, it's painful to watch. This is NOT a classic funny high-school/college "f***-shit-up" movie. It really is a "so-what" movie.. It could have been better, if only Michael Rosenbaum's directing didn't suck so hard.I would not recommend watching this.And it really does seem as if the good reviews for this movie is in fact written by friends of actor/director Michael Rosenbaum.
joshuapehrson1 This film was much better than I expected it to be. I was constantly laughing at the crazy jokes and situations. The movie just seemed like it followed the lives of average people, the kind of people you were friends with in high school. Some of the situations were a little cheesy, but the movie ends differently than you would probably suspect. Michael Rosenbaum's character is an actor in L.A. who's having a difficult time finding work, so he goes home to get away from that for a while and go to his high school reunion. We meet his friends and his ex-girlfriend who he is still in love with. Good to watch a movie that doesn't give you the bs that everything will just work your way if you want it hard enough. Watch this film, you won't regret it.
