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.

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.
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...
Teenage girls will love the film because of Efron, but there isn't too much else to love. An interesting story nonetheless.
It has a few plot lines stolen from other movies like "Big" and "Its A Wonderful life". Especialy when Mathew Perry falls off the bridge and his spiritual guardian changes his life. Very familiar. I regret paying to see this movie
This looks like a great movie! and whetever the other people are saying, it cartainly does help that the actor (Zac Efron) is totally hot!!: )
I reckon it's a great movie, not just because Zac Efron acts in it, but because the actors/actresses are pretty good and because it is a movie which is funny and a movie that most people will enjoy.
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...
