Tween girls will be happy to know “17 Again” kicks off with a shirtless Zac Efron. But their parents will be even happier to know it’s a movie the entire family can enjoy — for different reasons.
The premise is quite easy to like and even easier to follow. Mike O’Donnell (played by Matthew Perry as an adult and Zac Efron as a teen) had everything going for him as a highschooler in 1989: cool-status, mad basketball skills, a hot girlfriend and a promising sports scholarship. But instead of going with the game, O’Donnell marries his high school sweetheart and twenty years later ends up with a dysfunctional family, a marriage held by a loose thread and a lame job.
To top things off, O’Donnell is now separated from his wife Scarlett (played by Leslie Mann), and living with his extremely nerdy friend Ned Gold (Thomas Lennon) in a house filled with “Star Wars” memorabilia. Things couldn’t possibly get any worse. O’Donnell questions whether he made the right choices in high school and wishes he could somehow make it right.
Sounds cheesy (or like a repeat of ‘Freaky Friday’)? I thought so too — but that was before I had actually seen the film. “17 Again” turned out to be a nice blend of pop culture teen-movie with legitimate doses of emotional moments. In fact, you can be 17 and relate to this movie or 47 and still find ways to connect because let’s face it, most of us remember vividly (or at least think we do) the “good old high school days.”
But when a janitor transforms 37-year-old O’Donnell back into his 17-year-old self (kind of random), there’s a catch: he doesn’t go back in time. Instead, O’Donnell finds himself going back to high school with his kids, and that’s where most of the comedy comes from.
Efron actually does a convincing job of being a middle-aged man stuck in a pubescent body. It’s a pretty smart transition movie for the “High School Musical” actor because he still gets to play the high school heartthrob, only now he has adult dilemmas, which is refreshing.
Once he turns 17, O’Donnell’s relationships with son Alex (Sterling Knight) and daughter Maggie (Gossip Girl’s Michelle Trachtenberg) becomes very entertaining and heartfelt at the same time. There’s just something really funny about seeing Zac Efron promoting abstinence and lecturing high school girls about not being sluts. Still, you can sense that behind the beardless face and Converse shoes, there’s a middle age man who worries about his “little girl” and wants his son to be a hit with the ladies and a pro at basketball.
And I feel weird saying this, but Efron actually shares a great deal of chemistry with Mann, who plays O’Donnell’s wife, and is 15 years Efron’s senior in real life. Of course, there’s almost no action between the two of them, but the pair share funny scenes and multiple movie-magic moments.
At times O’Donnell’s best friend Ned (who pretends to be his dad when he turns into a teenager) steals the scene with his geekyness. He makes the word awkward look like an understatement. Little side note, Ned can speak fluent Quenya (the official language for the elves in ‘Lord of the Rings’) and at one point shares a battle scene with O’Donnell using fake lightsabers.
Clearly this movie won’t win any of its stars an Oscar, but there’s definitely something in it for everyone. Perry probably taught Efron a thing or two about comedic timing because the movie is filled with giggle-worthy moments. And I think it’s not just teen girls that will be saying “aww” by the time the film is over.
So even if you’re not part of the YouTube generation that spreads the word through cell phone videos, or have no idea who K-Fed is “17 Again” can still strike a chord with you.
