December 26, 2009It seems strange that Matthew Perry would play a dad of two teenage children. He is getting divorced as he has resented his whole life. He was popular in school with great potential in basketball. He returns to his school and means a janitor who grants his wish to return to his y...( read more)

September 22, 2009The main problem with this is trying to stomach anything that Zac Efron does. He's trying to steer away from the musical, but somehow get wrangled into yet another dance sequence in this film. The basic story is not all that good and it's been done before in the recent past. T...( read more)

August 27, 2009Actually pretty funny and surprisingly clean! I like Matthew Perry, but I knew he wouldn't be in it much considering the premise of the film. Even so, I thought it was absolutely hilarious -- especially Ned (Thomas Lennon)! He cracked me up! :D

August 25, 2009This was pretty cute. My daughter and I sat down to watch this together. Kinda reminded me a little of "Like Father Like Son" from back in the day with Kirk Cameron, rofl. The sory was reall nice,but sometmes it felt like the acting was "fake".Overall it was cute and somewhat ent...( read more)

February 8, 2010I don not care for Zach whatever-his-name is but he did alright in this movie.

February 5, 2010Quite funny, and a good plot to the movie. However, Zac Efron's acting destroys some of the move, as he is more used to starring in films for children of younger ages such as High School Musical or Hairspray. But Thomas Lennon, who plays a science geek best friend, who constantly...( read more)

February 3, 2010All right, initially I labelled this movie as "Not Interested". Because I wasn't, really. I had enough of Zac Efron in High School Musical, who needed him in a slightly different version of the great 80's film Big? Well, I didn't.
But...I ended up watching it... And it was pret...( read more) -
January 30, 2010So predictable but so funny. The guy obssessed with Star Wars is worth the 8 out of 10 rating.

I found him a sympathetic, and strangely believable, middle-aged dad. full review

17 Again takes a while to get cooking, and at times it just feels like a pale imitation of 13 Going on 30. Still, it's often breezily entertaining, partly thanks to Efron, who certainly knows how to b... full review

Zac Efron shoots and scores in 17 Again which puts its own hilarious and heartwarming spin on a familiar premise and makes it work effortlessly. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
If you can't figure out what happens, you've never seen a movie. And if you haven't, please, God, don't start with this one. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though not as clever as 13 Going on 30 or Freaky Friday, it's also not as hokey as Hannah. For a swoon-fest aimed at tweens, 17 Again has a lot going for it. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
You needn't be a Zac Efron fan to enjoy the appealing 17 Again. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
17 Again is pleasant, harmless PG-13 entertainment, with a plot a little more surprising and acting a little better than I expected. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Even with actors who echoed each other's mannerisms, 17 Again would still be lame. full review
April 9, 2009
Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times
Check out 17 Again, an age-swap comedy co-starring Matthew Perry, only if you have daughters who will kill for a sight of heartthrob Zac Efron. full review
