The Donovans move from Los Angeles to Connecticut, ready to start a new phase of their life. All 12-year-old Willie cares about are his science experiments; he is currently working on an anti-aging formula. However, when some of the formula spills onto a box of soap, Willie finds out that he has gotten more than he bargained for, as his divorced grandparents use the soap and turn back into 17-year-olds.
Tia and Tamera Mowry (SISTER, SISTER) are terrific as Sydney and the transformed Grandma Cat, respectively, with brother Tahj playing Willie, who must search for an antidote when he discovers that his formula has a few problems that might just end up killing his revitalized teenage grandparents. Meanwhile, his now-young grandparents are exploring their second chance at love in this touching cable original from Hallmark Entertainment. The film also features a performance from BOYZ II MEN.
