Editorial Review:
ABOUT A GUY WHOSE LIFE DIDN'T QUITE TURN OUT HOW HE WANTED IT TO AND WISHES HE COULD GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL AND CHANGE IT. HE WAKES UP ONE DAY AND IS SEVENTEEN AGAIN AND GETS THE CHANCE TO REWRITE HIS LIFE.
Description of 17 Again:
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 Reviews:
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.
Great movie 
2009-10-27 - I really enjoyed this movie! It was hilarious, cute, and even inspiring. Perfect for those who love romantic comedies... and Zac Efron. ;)
17 Again is A Great Movie
2009-10-27 - Sometimes in life you feel like you want to go back in time, just like in this movie. Zac Efron, and the rest of the people who were in this movie did great. I think it would be nice to go back in the past, and just go back to all the good memories I've had. I think you'll like this movie if you like 13 Going on 30. I like how Mike goes back in the past to get his kids on the right path, everybody in life needs that sometimes. He went back in the past to change himself for the better. It's awesome that Scarlett, and Mike get back together in the end.
Excellent movie for kids and adults
2009-10-26 - A cute and funny movie. The kids love it and even though there are a few bad words in it the whole family loves to watch it.
