17 Again (DVD) Reviews

I don't think it should be any surprise that this movie is merely a quick vehicle to get Zac Ephron in a movie and making money as fast as possible before, god forbid, he becomes a flash in the pan. If you have seen a trailer for the film then you've pretty darn near seen the film aside from the juicy bits that all the tween girls in America are ...  Read the complete review

Like a lot of young girls now, my daughter has a huge crush on teen senation of the moment, Zac Efron. She has been harrassing me for ages to go and see it, but she was too young to see it at the cinema as it is rated 12, so when it arrived from Lovefilm last week, she was one very excited little girl! As it is rated a 12, I had to ...  Read the complete review

17 Again wasn't exactly a film that I rushed out to see at the cinema nor one that I rushed out to purchase on DVD but it was one that I added to my 'lovefilm' rental list and was in fact the film that dropped through my front door last week. Having it now in my house and waiting to be watched I dutifully sat down with my mum to give it a go. I ...  Read the complete review

i was stuck on a 9 hour flight and was unable to sleep. After pretty much watching everything there was to watch on the plane, I was pretty much stuck for ideas. I hadn't watched this film yet as i thought it could possibly destroy my soul and would break won in tears for sinking to such a low level. Anyway boredom finally got the ...  Read the complete review

He hates his job.(dont we all) He is living with his best friend Ned going through a divorce with from childhood sweetheart. His two children are ...  Read the complete review

I am not ashamed to admit I love Zac Efron so I do tend to watch his films and one I really fancied was 17 again. Plus it has the delectable Matthew Perry in it too. Me and my sister watched it and we loved it so we think everybody should love a bit of the Efron. Here is why. 17 again is about a guy called Mike who is having trouble ...  Read the complete review

I expected this film to be a typical movie about body swap with the sugary, sweet better tha everyone Zac Effron in the limelight. I also expected it to be a continuation oft he shallow characterisation that we know him for in High School Musical. I am pleased to report that I was wrong on this. The start of the movie is typical Zac ...  Read the complete review

17 Again is a bit like those body swap films you often see repeated and remade over and over again. This one, however, is like a cross between them and Tom Hanks' film Big, only in reverse. With some comedic moments and a warm story to follow, it's surprisingly entertaining, and one that's worth giving a go. Matthew Perry plays Mark ...  Read the complete review

I firmly expected 17 Again to be a lifeless and vacuous comedy film, thanks largely due to its star Zac Efron, whom I frequently associate with the tawdry High School Musical series. Efron, however, has a lot more going for him than I originally expected - he's frequently touted as the "next DiCaprio", and given the charm he espouses ...  Read the complete review

This is another film that I wanted to see at the cinema and never actually got round to it. Seems to happen a lot actually, but is cheaper sometimes to get the DVD! Anyway Seventeen Again was released on DVD just a few months ago. It is one of the latest films in the teenage comedy romance sector. I do think there has been a bit of a ...  Read the complete review

I never saw High School Musical, so was maybe one of the few who didn't go see this just because Zac Efron was in it. Instead I was at baby cinema with my 2 month old son and some friends, hoping for a good movie but not expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised to find I actually enjoyed this movie a lot! I felt that all characters played ...  Read the complete review

Although I love High School Musical, it is essentially a kids film and I was looking for something a bit more grown up for my night in on my own (only a little bit more grown up mind you!). But after checking out a few dooyoo reviews I decided 17 Again was worth a try. 17 Again follows the story of Mike O'Donnell (Matthew Perry/Zac ...  Read the complete review

The first 10 minutes of '17 Again' were like a bad dream - there were highlights, Zac Efron and cheesy dance moves, it felt like High School Musical all over again, but as the rest of the film developed, I was pleasantly surprised to find myself enjoying every minute! The Story: The film centers around Mathew Perry's character Mike ...  Read the complete review

I wouldn't really call myself a massive High School Musical fan , although I will admit that I enjoyed all three of the movies. I'm not that much of a fan of the cast either ; I like them , but I wouldn't wait five hours to get their autograph or nothing. I don't really get the whole 'Zac Efron' madness thing , however when the film 17 Again , ...  Read the complete review

It took me quite a while before I decided that I was going to go and see this movie. After the huge success of High School Musical, I thought that after something that good, how much better could Zac Efron get. As it turns out, much better, I am so glad that I did eventually decide to go and see 17 Again, and the pairing of this young actor, with ...  Read the complete review

17 Again starring High School Musical's Zac Efron is about a guy who's given a second chance at life when he is given the chance to be 17 again at the age of 37 allowing him to undo the mistakes he made and choose a different path in life. For this, he is allowed to travel back in time allowing him to relive his teenage years again with very ...  Read the complete review

Slightly shameful though it is to admit, I'm a closet High School Musical fan. There it is, out in the open! I loved Zac Efron in the film and then when I saw Hairspray where he did a great job of playing Link Larkin I was hooked! For anybody that don't know, the plot revolves around Mike O'Donnell a disillusioned 35 year old whose ...  Read the complete review

this review might be a bit biased because i love zac's acting. this film is basically about a guy who ran out after his love of his life ,(scarlett) , whilst doing this he lost his scholarship for basketball, 20 years later he's married scarlett and is in a dead end job with 2 kids, he is also getting a divorce from scarlett. he then ...  Read the complete review
