17 Again

In the vein of FREAKY FRIDAY, PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED, 13 GOING ON 30, and other "switch" comedies, 17 AGAIN answers the fantasies of disgruntled middle-aged parents everywhere, as high school basketball star turned average failure of a dad Mike O'Donnell (Matthew Perry) gets to begin again at age 17 (where--bonus!--he's played by Zac Efron). A strangely IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE-style freak storm sends his body back through time to age 17, and since he's been living with his nerdy zillionaire buddy (Thomas Lennon) after being kicked out of the house by his wife, Scarlet (Leslie Mann), she and their kids (Michelle Trachtenberg and Sterling Knight) aren't privy to the change, enabling Mike to be covert father while posing as a high school student, and to tempt his wife into quasi-cougardom. The temptation never gets too far, thank heavens, for Efron belongs not to any one woman but to all the girls enraptured by his star turn in HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL. He's the reason to see the film and he clearly has great fun ...

I need to vent a little before getting to my review of Burr Steer's 17 Again, a movie that was released to American theaters in April and on DVD only Monday. This was done in a timely manner like most American movies with big-name stars. Not so for Zac Efron's film Me and Orson Welles, shot in... Read full review »

17 Again - Zac Efron grows up to be Matthew Perry, in this cute movie.

Pros Terrific performances, humorous in several places.
Cons Predicatble, with a few plot flaws.
Recommended it? Yes

It's cute, and teenage girls will probably love it.  But older audiences will find it predictable, and might be a bit annoyed by some of the plot devices.

I'm talking about 17 Again, starring Zac Efron.  It's one of those age-changing stories, a plot device used many times... Read full review »

He's the reason to see the film and he clearly has great fun playing someone much older and squarer than himself the idea that he will eventually become Perry again is allowed to carry its own melancholy existential charge. Directed by Burr Steers IGBY GOES DOWN this is breezy fun for the whole crazy family with a soundtrack that includes new and classic songs from the likes of Cat Power Santogold Kenny Loggins and Young M.C.
