17 Again

After graduating from ‘High School Musical’, Zac Efron gets to be ’17’ once ‘Again’ and movie goers get a homage to 80’s comedy morphed with a mystical movie fable. This movie is ’13 Going on 30’ in reverse with a high school singing sensation as the center rather then a secret agent. Instead of some magical wish dust, this film has a spirit guide/angel/mystical somebody pulling the ‘Lesson to be Learned’ strings. The mystical Janitor comes, dispenses some witticisms and then leads our hero into some vortex where he gets his wish to relieve his tortured adolescent life. In spite of that wish he still ends up as a Disney Channel icon.

Despite being un-original film, that has been done several times in several different ways, it proves to be a Merry Little Fun film that has some good moral points. One interesting Moral note involves Zac’s character Mike O’Donnell having to deal with High School Sex Ed. It’s amazing the perspective one views the world from as an adult who has a teenage daughter he doesn’t one grimy boys touching with their dirty perverted hands. He sounds like a stuffy adult when suggesting that absentness is the way to go, but when he describes the results of holding his baby daughter for the first time, it causes the girls in the class to think twice about giving yourself away before being united in Holy Matrimony.

’17 Again’, may not be the greatest fable-style comedy, but it is pleasant enough to enjoy and has several good moments. It may remind you of your youth. In just one year I will go to my 20th year reunion. What would it be like to relive? This type of film helps you to recollect your years of yesterday and helps you to wonder what would happen if you made a wish and some mystical force let you relive a part of your life, grow older or younger, go back in time to help your parents to meet and fall in love, see what life would be like if you were never born or what it would be like to have the powers of God.

In Summary this is the pre-summer movie hit that you can safely wait to DVD to watch unless you want to help the economy by going to the theater to see this film.
