Overview
Joe Gardner is a middle school teacher with a love for jazz music. After a successful gig at the Half Note Club, he suddenly gets into an accident that separates his soul from his body and is transported to the You Seminar, a center in which souls develop and gain passions before being transported to a newborn child. Joe must enlist help from the other souls-in-training, like 22, a soul who has spent eons in the You Seminar, in order to get back to Earth.
This movie falls somewhere in the middle of the Pixar catalog of movies. I’ve seen much better and definitely much worse. The themes in the movie are excellent as is the final scene. The problem that the movie has is that from an enjoyable perspective it is just average.
