50 million people used to watch him on TV. Now he washes their cars.

TV child star of the '70s, Dickie Roberts is now 35 and parking cars. Craving to regain the spotlight, he auditions for a role of a normal guy, but the director quickly sees he is anything but normal. Desperate to win the part, Dickie hires a family to help him replay his childhood and assume the identity of an average, everyday kid.

10/10

I bought this movie on a whim. It turned out to be one of the best and funniest movies I have ever seen. I highly recommend seeing it at least once. You won't be disappointed.
