Ben
Meyers’ rating: 4.3|5.0 Starsìììì
17 Again highlights the personable Zac Efron’s acting skill. It’s one of
his best films since High School Musical and emphasizes him as a
high-profile actor. It’s good to see Matthew Perry, Leslie Mann, and Jim
Gaffigan in the movie. The basic
storyline of this film is not new and not creative, but the message has been so
skillfully woven into the dialogue and timing of the scenes that the movie
serves at a much higher level than others that have dealt with this subject
matter. The resolution is better and seems to reflect a reality nearer to truth
than similarly made films. It’s a refreshing watch and a good holiday watch.Film Poster Courtesy of Google Images

Buy a ticket? Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes. This movie is a
surprisingly well-written Zac Efron film.
Although not a new or fresh film idea it has been presented in such a
way that leaves a powerful message about first love, keeping marriages
together, and keeping priorities straight in life. Great watch for late teens
and adults. Provides good after-viewing discussion material.
