Zac Efron, a good actor? Who knew?!
May 05, 2009
Kristine - imdb.com
As we've seen many movies like this before: Big, 13 Going on 30, and Freaky Friday, we always love to see the retelling of the old classic story of the switching age. Since the story has been used so much, a... Full review

I'm not a big fan of Zac Efron but this film was actually good. Its was entertaining it was sweet and it was very funny. It's a little confusing figuring out who was who when he went back to being 17... Full review

The storyline was very well done and enjoyable. I was pleasantly surprised at this movie. Keep an open mind and you will enjoy the movie. Zac Efron did a really decent acting job. I honestly thought it would be High School... Full review

I saw 17 Again yesterday and it was hilarious. It made me laugh out loud through out . The story reminded me of "13 going on 30" only it was funnier and shorter than "13 going on 30". Zac Efron proved... Full review

This is an excellent, and really funny movie for teenagers and even adults. However it is PG-13 for a reason. It has a lot of sex talk. ALOT. it also has curses and slight drinking. Unless you wantyour 5 year old... Full review

"17 Again" has been done before in "Big", "13 Going On 30" and one of my favorite movies, "The Kid". That being said: I really liked "17 Again". This is a star vehicle for teen heart-throb Zac Efron. Okay, the movie... Full review
Perfect Film for Dad & Pre-Teen

I was overwhelmingly surprised at how much I liked this movie for myself (46) & our 12-year old daughter. Critics rating below B are out of touch with purpose & audience. Clean storyline, little-to-no time wasted on how time-travel works, plenty... Full review
Every teen generation needs a good body swap/turn the clock back type of story and 17 again is one of those stories, Mike O'Donnell had it all. He was the star of his high schools basket ball team. He had Scarlet... Full review

Three years ago, a little known actor named Zac Efron became a superstar thanks to a Disney Channel film called High School Musical. Efron's only other movie had been two years before in a Lifetime movie. HSM, as it came to... Full review

I was invited to this movie by my Dad's girlfriend and since I wanted to be supportive, I came and hey...free movie. So as expected, me and my Dad were maybe 2 of 8 guys in a sea of teenage girls... Full review

perhaps shed a tear during the standard happy ending scene, than this movie is perfect.....Directed by Burr Steers, 17 Again is 102 minutes of PG-13 goodness for anyone who loves cheesy fairytale flicks.... ... Full Review

Overall, an enjoyable little comedy that's "believable" when you wouldn't expect it to be.....That leads to a bunch of "politically (& socially) incorrect" efforts on his part, which results in some good situational humor, very well handled by ZAC (who continues to show himself to be really talented as an actor beyond in singing & dancing).....As played by THOMAS LENNON , he has the right "moves" in things like hitting on the school principal.... ...

We love a good body-swap movie.....Also, every time you select one of the extras, you get the same completely weird, not-so-special shot of Zac Efron and Thomas Lennon before the selection starts.....Despite its played-out storyline, 17 Again is surprisingly refreshing in the looks department.....it's a nice surprise.... ...

fulfilling its intended role as a cute teen flick with witty one-liners, almost all of the dialogue falls short....By all accounts, 17 Again should be a fine movie to sit back, in hollow-shell-of-a-human being mode, and mindlessly enjoy.....With Leslie Mann, Zac Efron, Mathew Perry, Thomas Lennon, and Melora Hardin all cast, I expected the film to be, at its least, just as good as, say, What a Girl Wants ..... ...

Guaranteed to lift your spirits, make you laugh and charm your socks off, this body switch comedy is wild, wacky and wonderful.....Lennon's self-professed dork Ned is the big scene stealer as he shamelessly woos Melora Hardin's stitched up School Principal Jane Masterson (the restaurant scene when they speak Elvish over red wine is inspired - and when Ned dons a cloak of invisibility so no-one can see him, the ridiculous and the heartfelt morph into one).....Jason Filardi's script is darned clever, taking a ...
