Description of 17 Again [Blu-ray]:
Zac Efron breaks free of his High School Musical legacy with 17 Again, leading a pack of fine comic actors in a body-switching comedy that freshens the genre with good ideas. Efron plays Mike, a high-school basketball star who blows a college scholarship in 1989 to marry his sweetheart. Cut to 2009, and late-30s Mike (Matthew Perry) is a sour guy passed over for a promotion and feeling estranged from that wife, Scarlett (Leslie Mann), and teen kids (Michelle Trachtenberg, Sterling Knight). Magical intervention causes Mike to turn 17 once more--albeit in the present--and tackle his failures with a fresh start. As the hot new kid in his children's high school, Mike proves a better father to them as their peer than as a man, while Scarlett sees in him everything that attracted her to her husband two decades before. Writer Jason Filardi and director Burr Steers demonstrate an imaginative and supple wit in such half-expected scenes as Mike's confrontations with a school bully and his unsuspecting daughter's flirtations with him. But it's Efron who carries some truly delicate moments and proves to be genuinely sympathetic when emotions get thick and heavy. Thomas Lennon is also entertaining as a wealthy Star Wars nerd who pretends to be Mike's father, but his slightly excessive screen time suggests the filmmakers weren't entirely sure Efron could do what needed to be done. If so, they were mistaken. --Tom Keogh
17 Again [Blu-ray] Reviews:
Amazing flick! 
2009-11-29 - This movie was really enjoyable to watch, The story line is strong, there are funny moments, and there are serious moments.
The movie basically asserts that Mike O' Donnell(Matthew Perry) a guy in his late 40s(a basketball star in his teen days), got off the wrong tracts of his life and stumble into many failures, his wife Scarlett O' Donnell(Leslie Mann),because Mr. Donnell blame her for his failures.. Mrs. Donnell decides to set forth a divorce and to take the kids Alex and Maggie. Mr. Donnell then stumbles into the highschool and meets this old weird janitor, later on Mr. Donnell would be 17 again. The teen Mr. Donnell (Zac Efron) now has the opportunities to reshape and diligently rebuild the directions for his kids, and at the same time develop the opportunities to stop the divorce. Of course he didn't do all this alone... he is just a teen...but his best friend, Ned Gold (Thomas Lennon) an adult will help aide Mr. Donnell in his adventures. The winning point of this movie was the amazing emotional speech that Mr. Donnell articulated inside the court room, it had ultimately set Mrs. Donnell's decision.
I recommend this movie.
whoa- this is not a kids movie 
2009-11-24 - I watched this movie on a plane. THIS IS NOT A MOVIE FOR CHILDREN
OR TEENAGERS. If you have a home where you are trying to educate your
children to be decent adults DO NOT LET THEM WATCH THIS MOVIE. (ADULTS,
THOUGH, WILL FIND THIS MOVIE ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS)
Great Condition - Decent Shipping 
2009-11-21 - The DVD case and disk are in great condition and the movie itself is amazing. The product arrived within the shipping window, but just barely.
17 Again 
2009-11-14 - This was an excellent revision to George Burns version of 17 Again in the 80's. Zac Efron did a great job as well as Matthew Perry. These are two very talented actors who followed in very big footsteps. Some of it i would not recommend for children under 13 because of the decade change. Other than that one great movie.
I Was Pleasantly Suprised 
2009-10-29 - My wife forced me to watch this movie with some friends. I actually enjoyed watching the movie. Honestly Ned made this movie for me, he was hilarious. We rented this movie and the next day ended up buying it.
