June 29, 2009Wow, I am so surprised I loved this movie! It was a lot of fun to watch. At the end, it really gets you thinking about your own life and the choices you have made. I have to say Zac Efron made my proud in this film, for someone I usually despise, he did a wonder job. Also, Ma... ...( read more )

May 14, 2009was really cute though I think Matthew Perry could have slimmed down a bit for this role he looked way better in Fools Eush In

May 10, 2009Despite the fact that 17 again promises originality, it simply is a march of parading cliches, and trying to "pass on the wisdom" of its theme by teaching of senses as the things that really matter in life and the right to a second chance in life.

17 Again takes a while to get cooking, and at times it just feels like a pale imitation of 13 Going on 30. Still, it's often breezily entertaining, partly thanks to Efron, who certainly knows how to b... full review

Zac Efron shoots and scores in 17 Again which puts its own hilarious and heartwarming spin on a familiar premise and makes it work effortlessly. full review

If you can't figure out what happens, you've never seen a movie. And if you haven't, please, God, don't start with this one. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times
Check out 17 Again, an age-swap comedy co-starring Matthew Perry, only if you have daughters who will kill for a sight of heartthrob Zac Efron. full review
