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 which was kind of embarrassing/hilarious. Anyway, 17 Again is mediocrity in its most boiled down form. The movie is about how Chandler Bing decides he hates his life now and is magically transformed into Zac Efron by Brian Doyle Murray as a corpulent janitor. Now mind you he doesn't go back in time...he's just 17 again in the same time. So he ends up going back to school and learning very important lessons regarding his family. Costarring Leslie Mann (who I love) as Chandler Bing's wife and Michelle Trachtenberg (who has a rockin' heinie), 17 Again features a couple good laughs, a predictable plot, and one particularly emotionally charged, well acted scene from Zac Efron. Basically, this movie could've been a lot better.
