September 22, 2009The main problem with this is trying to stomach anything that Zac Efron does. He's trying to steer away from the musical, but somehow get wrangled into yet another dance sequence in this film. The basic story is not all that good and it's been done before in the recent past.

August 27, 2009Actually pretty funny and surprisingly clean! I like Matthew Perry, but I knew he wouldn't be in it much considering the premise of the film. Even so, I thought it was absolutely hilarious -- especially Ned (Thomas Lennon)! He cracked me up! :D

August 25, 2009This was pretty cute. My daughter and I sat down to watch this together. Kinda reminded me a little of "Like Father Like Son" from back in the day with Kirk Cameron, rofl. The sory was reall nice,but sometmes it felt like the acting was "fake".Overall it was cute and somewhat ent...( read more)

August 19, 2009I'm not proud but I watched it. I'm less proud because I liked it.
Thomas Lennon stole every scene he was in hence the extra half star.
I'm too embarrassed to say anything else positive about this movie so I'll leave it at that. -

November 5, 2009Wow, I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Especially with the lead being a twinkledouche named Zac without the h.
Still, I have always liked the premise of these types of movies: 18Again (George Burns), Vice Versa (Fred Savage), Like Father Like Son (Kirk Cameron), etc...( read more) -

I found him a sympathetic, and strangely believable, middle-aged dad. full review

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

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
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

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Though not as clever as 13 Going on 30 or Freaky Friday, it's also not as hokey as Hannah. For a swoon-fest aimed at tweens, 17 Again has a lot going for it. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
You needn't be a Zac Efron fan to enjoy the appealing 17 Again. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
17 Again is pleasant, harmless PG-13 entertainment, with a plot a little more surprising and acting a little better than I expected. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
Even with actors who echoed each other's mannerisms, 17 Again would still be lame. full review
April 9, 2009
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
