17 Again Review

Thanks for checking out my 17 Again review. Here's the description:

"What would you do if you got a second shot at life? Class of 1989, Mike O'Donnell is a star on his high school basketball court with a college scout in the stands and a bright future in his grasp. But instead, he decides to throw it all away to share his life with his girlfriend Scarlett and the baby he just learned they are expecting. Almost 20 years later, Mike's glory days are decidedly behind him. His marriage to Scarlett has fallen apart, he has been passed over for a promotion at work, his teenage kids think he is a loser, and he has been reduced to crashing with his high school nerd-turned-techno-billionaire best friend Ned. But Mike is given another chance when he is miraculously transformed back to the age of 17. Unfortunately, Mike may look 17 again, but his thirtysomething outlook is totally uncool in the class of 2009. And in trying to recapture his best years, Mike could lose the best things that ever happened to him." (movieweb.com)

The Good: Zac Efron is very good in the lead role. In fact, I think he did a better job in this movie than HSM. Really. He's going to have a great career in acting.

There are some very funny moments in this film.

Has a lot of heart in it.

17 Again has an engaging story that keeps it fast-paced.

The Bad: Some pointless scenes. Such as a 6 minute fight with Efron's friend.

Drags on in the last 10-15 minutes.

Some characters seem to be off in their own worlds.

Overall: 17 Again is a funny, heartwarming, and good movie. Problems don't take away Zac Efron's charm, so it's definitly worth checking out. 8/10.
