Review of 17 Again

17 Again (2009)
7/10
Entertaining and enjoyable
24 June 2009
I don't know how many times I've seen a movie with this kind of topic. Fortunately 17 again was a nice comedy which only purpose was entertaining the viewer. 17 again tells the story of 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: it is an already seen story and kinda predictable but still I had the chance to enjoy it. The plot is convincing and very well developed. It is a movie full of comedy and with its very good moments of drama and reflection. The cast is really good. Matthew Perry is excellent as Mike O'Donnell although his role isn't that long, Zac Efron is quite good in his performance of young Mike, with this role he can tell that he has a promising career after HSM ( thank god), Leslie Mann is convincing enough as Perry's wife Michelle Trachtenberg is also good and Thomas Lennon is terrific as Matthew's all time friend Ned, he is so funny that the movie is worthy just to watch him on it. In conclusion, 17 Again is an entertaining and enjoyable movie you can watch with your family.
