Luv Zac Efron

by LisBaby

....but the movie was kind of lame. Not as funny as I thought it would be.

You know you want to experience the thrill. Don't miss out.

by baktruth

Let me start off my saying that this movie captures your heart. With the starting scene to the last, you come to love every second of the film. This movie is so cute and Zac Efron is unbelievably gorgeous. I expected this movie to be great but it went beyond my expectations, IT WAS AWESOME. Also with some of its witty and comedic scenes, it really pulls you in. I never wanted it to end. Oh and to all you Zac Efron fans.... you won't be disappointed. gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. :)

17 Again

by conradwsba1

This was a good movie. Zac Efron did a really good job. The movie is more for people over 10 years old because there our a lot of parts for teens.

Loved it!

by jrclowery

From the beginning to the end this movie is heartwarming, funny and witty! I'm 48 and I saw it with a 10y/o, 14y/o & 35 y/o- we all loved it. We laughed out loud many times. I thought Zac Efron did a great job (I had my doubts!) and not to mention the HOT factor (careful my cougar claws are showing)!!!! Will see it again and buy the movie when it comes to DVD.

Hilarious!

by MrsKristaB

Hilarious movie! A girlfriend and I went to see this movie and were a little unsure of how good it would be considering it's a "teen movie". However, we didn't stop laughing and the story line was a pretty good one. Efron's acting was pretty impressive and the message anything but "teenish". Definitely go see this.

17 Again

by thecoolone

This is a good movie, did enjoy it. The PG-13 rating a very accurate. I made the mistake of taking my 7 years old daughters just because of the other reviews said it was a family movie. Many scenes that were not kid appropriate but by the end of the movie I think most of those scenes were forgotten. This movie had a very good story line, yes played out, but this generation doesn't remember most of the other films like this one. Even my 8 year old son liked it, even though the girls dragged him to it. I would watch it again and I think even my husband will like it.

Great Movie!

by movie_assessor

I went to see this movie with my daughter, son, husband, and my childrens' friends. Me and my husband were reluctant to go, but had to because none of our children or their friends were over 13. I was quite surprised in the outcome though, because the movie was excellent. The humor and comedy were perfectly balanced, and my 10 year old was not seeing anything bad, nor was my 7 year old or their friends. I highly recoment this movie, it is fantastic.

Great Movie for Both Teenagers and Parents

by seanj288

My wife and I are in our forties and we don't have kids. Saw the movie by chance even though we don't normally care for teenager movies - meant to go see Angels and Demons before it was released. Anyway, while the script was funny and well-written, and we got quite a few laughs, and Zac is a good actor esp. for his age - much better than Perry & mom, there's also something that we could relate to even though the story has no resemblance to our lives. It also has a good moral message unlike typical teenager movies of these days. It started slow and got better and better.
Far far better than Big and 13 going on 30 - it's very different and heart warming, excellent script. Would see it again in a heartbeat.

17 Again

by wilbear

I'm past 60 and took the 10-year-old daughter of a friend. We both loved the movie. Zach really made me believe he really was an adult in a teen's body. I wouldn't have thought he'd be so mature in any role at his age. Obviously, great for all ages and an afternoon of fun.

SHyea, it's Zac Efron!

by drumlinechic06

I really enjoyed watching this movie. It had many funny moments, that I probably laughed too loud at, but I was in a good mood. I thought it had it's own originality. I would recommend this to others as a worthwhile movie. Plus I didn't mind looking at Zac for a while.

Good Message

by masters06

Before going to see this movie, I had been told by friends who had seen it that it was really good. I was still somewhat sceptical but decided it was worth seeing at least once. Surprisingly it was pulled off really well. The concept of a guy who magically transforms into himself as a 17 year old so he could repeat his senior year as a second chance to do things right is somewhat of a cliche, but was believeable enough that it works. I definitely thought the actual transformation, fall off a bridge, could have been done better. It was a little weak to believe. There definitely was some comedic moments and heartfelt moments that were pulled together beautifully and the story does have a great message. While every movie can be seen needing improvement, there are always aspects of them that make them great and this movie is definitely one of those.

17 Again

by c21kathleen

OK, so this is a mom writing a review, so keep that in mind . . . "17 Again" is cute, entertaining, and while mostly predictable, there are enough weird quirks to keep it interesting. The "best friend" character alone is hysterical and is reason enough to see this film! In the end, I found it odd seeing Zac Efron in a film without him breaking into song, and I'm guessing that he has now told his manager, "Dude, unless the next one is a re-make of Hoosiers", please NO MORE TEEN BASKETBALL STAR roles for me!"

THE BEST PART FOR ME AS A MOM: This was a great movie to help my 11-year-old "graduate" from "G" movies to more complex subject matter and issues (some sexual references, but it's not like today's tweens don't already know about some of that). The fact that she could address these new topics through an actor she knows playing the type of role she was familiar seeing him in made it alot easier for her - and me! It opened up a great dialogue for us, which is a just great!

You have to see it!!!

by mariakatleba

OMG! I loved this movie. It was great. Nothing like being able to go back in time and do things right! This is a great family movie. It goes over topics that most parents these days don;t even bother to address (girls need to respect themselves, boys need to have class, not be stupid insecure bullies). This movie sent a few great mesaages!!!!
