Mike O'Donnell, played by Matthew Perry (The Whole Nine Yards) hates his life and wishes he could have a do-over. Sound familiar? Well it should. There have been a lot of movies about becoming younger, or becoming older, or vice-versa (actually the name of one of them) To name a few: 13 Going on 30, FREAKY FRIDAY, PEGGY SUE GOT MARRIED, 18 Again!, Dream a Little Dream and I am sure you can name a few more if you try hard enough. I was sure this idea had run it's course and 17 Again would be just another in a long list of the same story over and over again. And it was, only with one catch, it was actually pretty good. It was entertaining in that it captured my attention and held it for a majority of the movie. It was funny at times, so much so that I actually laughed out loud at a few of the scenes. And it was heart warming to see how this person had screwed up his life and was only now realizing that he wanted it all back. There were a lot of the same things that were in all the other movies, like the initial shock, the friend who is the only one who knows, and of course the school bully. But all that aside this was a pretty good movie that I would not mind seeing again. Rated 4 of 5 only because there have been so many of these types of movies. There is some violence and some drinking and some adult scenes, but it is relatively clean overall. I suggest you see it for yourself and decide.Read full review

I did not see it in the movies . The movie was very entertaining, romantic and funny. Zac Efron played the part to a tee. I also like the part of his friend Ned .He was crazy. If only we could go back !
