17 Again Review

Our official review is now up!

The Scoop

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. Mike is played by Zac Efron.

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.

Interesting Fact

If I could go back in time, I wouldn’t pick the age of 17. I’m only 38, and I can barely remember anything important about being 17. I remember barely having to shave when I was 17, I had a real baby face and girls found me “cute” instead of taking me seriously.

If you are 17, and actually reading my rant, stop taking yourself so seriously. You don’t know shit about anything, you won’t marry the girl you are with and you’ll never see 85% of the friends you hang out with today.
