5.0 out of 5 stars Best show I've seen in a long, long time., October 8, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: 17 Again (DVD)

I'm pretty picky about movies I'll spend money on nowadays. I fell in love with this movie because, in the middle of so much crud coming out of Hollywood, here is a show that actually praises abstinence and encourages families to work out their problems.

The humor is incredibly clever, Zac Efron nailed Matthew Perry's mannerisms and intonations, and the storyline is charming.

I can't even count how many times I've watched this movie since buying it. I highly recommend it. And of course, I found it cheapest here on Amazon.

This review is from: 17 Again (DVD)

OK buddies don't laugh! I watched this film because my wife recorded it on our DVR. This film reminded me of so many of those 80's high school comedies with the body switching premise. The film is not very original, but Zac Efron carries the story with some help from a good cast that keep it amusing. The story of a would be basket ball star (Efron) blows his big chance at playing college ball and getting a scholarship to marry his high school sweetheart who he gets pregnant. Fast forward 20 years and you have Matthew Perry who is stuck in a nowhere job and can't seem to find any passion in his life whether it be fixing up the house, being a good dad or not making his wife feel guilty for the choice he made to leave the big game to propose to her.

While the film is oh-so familiar, I thought Efron was engaging and with the help of comedians Jim Gaffigan and Thomas Lennon, the film is an easy watch with some funny moments. Efron shows he could be more than just a pretty face in this good natured teen comedy.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected..., August 25, 2009

(VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: 17 Again (DVD)

I grew up watching films like this...Freaky Friday, Big, 18 Again and so on.

I wasn't expecting anything new from the plot or story premise so it was up to the actors and screenwriting to carry this through.

And they did.

Though this didn't receive 'rave' critical review, it was quite cute and highly entertaining. The cast was well assembled and Zach Efron was surprisingly funny, especially opposite "Lt. Dangle" (Tom Lennon).

I actually read a review somewhere that Efron lacked 'edge' in this role...ummm, what? Was 'edge' really necessary? I didn't think so. He was adorable and funny and what more does one need for entertainment?

I watched this with my husband and mother-in-law and we all agreed to its entertainment value as qualifying as 'cute and funny'.

This movie was a sleeper. And it was Funny. It was just a little different from Big with the selfish guy fixing his kids lives and not his own.
