Us Rating: ***
Watching Tim Gunn spoof his arch guru image is one perk of this fantastical comedy flick. After popular snoot Amber (Cassie Scerbo) dies, her spirit is ordered by a no-nonsense angel (Gunn) to turn insecure brainiac Lisa (Lindsey Shaw) into prom queen material. If Amber fails? Hello, hell! For such a familiar plot, Teen is full of genuine laughs -- in one irresistible moment, Amber's soul steers Lisa's body! There's a nice lesson in kindness too. It's the leads' charming chemistry, though, that really earns Teen its wings. (ABC Family, 7 P.M.)
