Do Over is a romantic comedy directed by Ryan Francis and released in 2016. The film follows the story of Sean King (Drew Seeley), a man in his mid-30s who is struggling with life's pressures. He is unhappy with his job, his love life is in shambles, and he doesn't get along with his siblings. One day, he wakes up to find himself as his 17-year-old self (Jonathan Bennett). Determined to make things right, Sean decides to take the opportunity to relive his life, do things differently and make new choices.
The first thing Sean does after waking up in his 17-year-old body is visit his childhood friend Owen (Zack Lively). Together, they start making some changes such as getting high-tech equipment that they will use for betting on games to make money. Sean also decides to get involved in the talent show, which is being held at his high school, in the hope that this will give him an opportunity to impress the girl he has been interested in since his teenage years, Miranda (Myko Olivier).
As Sean begins to navigate the challenges of teenage life, he realizes that he has to do more than change his appearance to make things right. He must also change his behavior, his relationships, and his priorities. However, as he sets out on this quest to make things right, he is confronted with the reality that changing the past can have unintended consequences.
Throughout the movie, the audience is taken on a journey through Sean's life, both past, and present.
