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

OK so I was a fan of Zac Efron and Matthew Perry anyway but I am also a huge fan of the 80s film 'Big' with Tom Hanks so was eager to see if this was a carbon copy - it isn't - its a great update! So Matthew Perry plays Mike O Donnell - a father of two and down on his luck. His wife has filed for divorce and he feels like his life has ...  Read the complete review

Ever since I saw Bride Wars in the cinema, and this was a trailer before it, I'd been looking forward to seeing 17 again, I thought it looked great and it had Zac Efron in. 17 Again was released on the 10th of April, and the next day me and a few friends went to see it for someone's birthday, worried that it might sell out fast since ...  Read the complete review

After seeing all the High school musical films and really hating them, I didn't think Zac Efron could ever impress me however I love Matthew Perry and thought the the plot sounded pretty good so I went to see it. Surprisingly Zac Efron really did do a pretty awesome job playing seventeen year old Mike O'Donnell. He really did prove he wasn't only ...  Read the complete review

Ah, this movie is definitely a hit for starry eyed teens. While Zac Efron presents his sculpted face, too dark tan and perfectly coifed hair; Matthew Perry is a stark contrast as the almost bumbling, unfit and insensitive dad. And the morals of these types of story are meant to be that life gets better after the trials and tribulations of high ...  Read the complete review

To be honest i only went to see this film because of Zac Efron and he looked very good in this film. After seeing it i was glad i went to see it. It wasn't some rubbish kids comedy like i expected but it genuinely had very funny moments. Perry plays a middle aged man who is getting a divorce from his childhood sweetheart. He regrets some of the ...  Read the complete review

Seeing the trailer for this film i thought it would be very cheesy, the only reason i wanted to watch it was because Zac Efron was in it. I was very suprised when i realised that it was actaully were good, and i laughed throughout. For anyone that wants a film to take kids, parents, grandparents and others to that this is the film to see. This is ...  Read the complete review

Initially I was sceptical about this film, believing it to be another chick flick with little story and just an excuse for young girls to see Zac Efron on screen for a couple of hours. This was somewhat true, after being badgered by my friends to see this film, I went along with an open mind. I actually was surprised by how much I did ...  Read the complete review

Watching a film on the recommendation of my mum isn't likely to be the best course of action, but she couldn't sell '17 Again' any harder; she loved it. I knew (very vaguely) what it was about, and gave it a go. Back in the 80s, Michael was a school student with everything at his finger-tips. At the basketball game where scouts were ...  Read the complete review

Everyone one wants to be 17 again; who doesn't? Even I do and I'm 19! Although I think I'd want to be 18 so I could legally drink. Anyways, when I first saw the trailer for 17 Again I was quietly excited about this film; I love Matthew Perry and really wanted to see what he could on the big screen. Then in came Zac Efron and I let out a big ...  Read the complete review

The basic story line is that Mathew Perry who plays Mark is divorsing his wife and his wish was to be able to forfill his dream as a basket ball player when he was a child. He is given this chance again without knowing by a sort of guardian angel to teach him ...  Read the complete review

As a 24 year old man, this film wasn't high on my list of must-see summer blockbusters. However, Her Indoors insisted we watch this last night and despite my initial groanings it was........ok. Look, it's basically Freaky Friday/Vie Versa all over again but with star of the moment Zac Efron and star of yesteryear Matthew ...  Read the complete review
