Michael Rosenbaum, of 'Smallville' fame makes his directorial debut in 'Back in the Day,' a raunchy comedy that features a new twist on the typical teenage coming of age story. In it, he also plays the lead role of Jim Owens, a man who heads to his high school reunion hoping to convince his friends to relive the glory days with him one last time - and nearly ends up destroying both his friendships and his town in the process.
