WILL TEENS APPRECIATE SOME HIGH SCHOOL LAUGHS IN 17 AGAIN?
Older kids, teens and plenty of adults will enjoy this teen comedy. Fans of Zac Efron will love 17 Again the most, but it’s best for ages 12+ due to some mild content.
Storyline
Ungrateful for how his life turned out, Mike O’Donnell makes a wish to be 17 again to improve it. One day, he wakes up to find that his wish has been granted.

Aussie boy's thoughts
This mostly spiritless high school comedy is thankfully rescued by Zac Efron’s charming character. Despite how frequently predictable each event and element turns out, it’s the appealing characters and slightly-sweet messages that teens will adore about this watchable flick. Fortunately for those who aren’t interested in fun personalities, 17 Again owns enough satisfying giggles to hold them through.
It’s difficult not to enjoy the unoriginal but repeatedly-delightful theme of 17 Again. Although there’s some of those unsatisfying ideas, it’s reassuring and hysterical to see bullies being confronted, relationships being recovered and characters with good points. It really just depends on how many of these kinds of storylines a viewer has witnessed to clarify whether they’ll be pleased or not.
It’s usually entertaining. And most kids would love seeing an adult repeat his age of 17, but parents should unquestionably keep in mind that it’s best for the older children and mainly teens. However, the film’s just forgettable and ordinary by the time it finishes.
