Editorial Review:
If you somehow had the chance, would you do your life over? Thirtysomething Mike O’Donnell would. Then one mysteriously magical moment, Mike gets his chance. He’s suddenly back at Hayden High where he’s the star of the basketball team, a total hottie, and a classmate to his own teenage kids…which gives Mike a chance to go from not-so-good dad to really cool friend. Zac Efron (Hairspray, the High School Musical movies) and Matthew Perry (Friends) are 17 Again and fabulously funny as the younger and older Mike in a good-time time-warp comedy that proves the best year of your life is the one you’re living right now.

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:
Fun Movie!
2009-12-29 - A fun movie that similar to movies about going back in time and/or age, but it entertainly different. Going back in age, but not time to relearn from your mistakes & get yourself on the right track. And of course the issue of meeting your own kids in high school while you look their age & they think you're a fellow student is fun.

Cool movie
2009-12-28 - This is a cool movie with no "sing alongs" like High School Musical. Its fun and enjoyable.

Great Movie
2009-12-27 - 17 Again is the only DVD I wanted to purchase this year. It makes you think about your life. Very inspirational! I also like it because Zack Efron and Sterling is so cute and funny in this movie.Best movie of the year!

get outta here, matthew perry.
2009-12-19 - Should've casted Jason Bateman as the older Mike O'Donnel. Perry and Efron looking NOTHING alike ruins it for me.

And Vanilla Ice didn't break through until 1990. The unfunny comedian playing the coach dropped a reference during a time taking place in 89. And the movie is chalk full of continuity errors. But even still, none of those factors seem to bother me as much as the feeling of Efron stepping off the set just as Perry is stepping on.

Truly entertaining
2009-12-09 - Excellent story and acting. Even though the story is a stretch, it mixes serious undertones with very good comedy. The movie provides the spirit with a genuine lift.
