17 Again
Mike (Mathew Perry) is approaching middle age, just split with his wife and doesn't get along with his teenage kids. He finds himself reminiscing about when he was 17, and the life he might have had if he’d done things differently. Then an incident involving the mysterious janitor at his old school sees him returned to his 17-year-old self (now played by Zac Efron), with a second chance to start his adult life over again. Only things have changed since last time he was a teenager, and being at school with his own kids turns out to be very weird indeed.

Great, if you don't take it too seriously, I found myself giggling at least once every ten minutes of the film. You may get blinded by the superstar actors and actresses in this, and you may find the storyline quite unoriginal and similar to movies like Big and 13 going on 30, but this movie is just as good as many other family rom-coms if you'll let...
WELL DON'T LOOK AT THE STARS, I'LL EXPLAIN.
So we me and cousins went and watched the film with high spirits! However, it seems that the spirits became much of a roller coster. Yeah there were really funny moments in the film, however there are a lot of boring inconsistent plot twists that didn't really help the story. Now for what the film will be known for... besides having the over- acting...

pressThere was not one single original thought in this dull and lifeless reheat of a tired old cliche and I found very little to like about it.
