Anyone else think that if Justin Timberlake and Brendan Fraser had conceived a love child, it’d be Jace Norman? Well that’s all that really preoccupied me as this otherwise unremarkable and messy teen drama took us on its own version of colourful time travel. That’s because the hero manages to lose his powers to his malevolent sister (Ella Anderson) thanks to the enthusiastic interference of new fan “Missy” (Glee Dango) and to his fed up cohort “Jasper” (Sean Ryan Fox) who is weary of doing all the work whilst his handsome buddy takes all the glory. Well in this alternative world, it’s “Jasper” who kicks ass and it means that “Henry” is going to have to eat loads of humble pie if he is to convince his “new” friends to help him go back to the old days! Personally, I think I’d have told him to take an hike but this is Nickelodeon remember so even the nasties are fairly nice as all that is missing is a custard pie fight. Indeed, it only narrowly avoids becoming an human version of a “Ninja Turtles” movie. I’m not the demographic, so I’m not really the man to say - but I suspect this is only for die-hard fans of the television series and/or the all-American Norman.
