Review of 17 Again

17 Again (2009)
7/10
Matthew Perry is 17 again
15 June 2010
Matthew Perry has had an up an down film career but this isn't through lack of effort. The main problem is that in many of his films (which don't get me wrong I really like) he plays a character too similar to his character on the hit sitcom Friends. However here he is takes on a role I doubt anyone could have predicted and does very well in the limited screen time he had. Sure there are flashes of Chandler here but by and large it is a different type of character.

This is obviously a vehicle for Zac Efron and everything in this film is centred around him because of this. He proves in 17 again that he can be more than just that kid from High School Musical and can actually act.

He is ably supported by Leslie Mann and Thomas Lennon and overall this film is light, funny and entertaining and at times heart warming film that Matthew Perry is a big part of. of this.
