17 Again

"When you're young, everything feels like the end of the world." When Zac Efron, Michelle and Leslie Mann are at the peak of their performance, and the genre mixes a few clichés with an nostalgia as strong as a wave of fandom, it is impossible to resist. "Different" teenage comedies still know how to warm your heart. (15.10.2009)

Pretty good. Back to the Future inside out, with a hole instead of a DeLorean. It also seems to me that Efron must be somehow related to M. J. Fox, the resemblance is uncanny, or was it just the similar plot? Perry also is nice to see. Otherwise, the good scenes balance out the bad ones, but I had more fun than not, so thumbs up. I was expecting it to be a bigger heap of nonsense. (22.08.2009)

I felt like I was in High School Musical at the beginning, then ended up just in high school. It wasn't bad. Not that I cracked the screen with laughter, no, but I wasn't bored. One good scene is when the "best friend" has a date. That one kind of amused me. Otherwise, as always Matthew was awesome, I still see Chandler in him, but it was quite fitting here. And then, after the movie, it's interesting to watch the credits for a while, enhanced by the visual aids ;-) (27.07.2009)

A pretty enjoyable comedy, where my only gripe was actually the fact that Matthew Perry doesn't appear more, as he couldn't show even a fraction of his comedic talent. Otherwise, there are great women here, and Zac Efron hasn't been one of those actors I actively dislike for some time. Moreover, Thomas Lennon does a great job pulling his weight outside of the main storyline. (05.05.2016)
