Movie #183 "17 Again" --- Again (for the 17th time probably) the use of the "if I could go back in time" idea, well played by an excellent cast, headed by teen idol Zac Eron, who proves he's worthy of all the attention. The movie plays to his talents and he comes out very impressive, so if you are a fan, this is the movie to watch. He also has a pal who is a stitch and while acting as Zac's dad, pursues the principal of the school in hilarious fashion (he's a star trek geek, enough said). Leslie Mann (Apatow's wife) plays the soon-to-be-ex-wife of Zac/Perry, and she does it with aplomb. Michelle Trachtenberg plays the daughter. Better than average on the topic with good messages for kids and parents. A nice surprise.

17 Again
(2009) PG-13
On the brink of a midlife crisis, 30-something Mike O'Donnell (Matthew Perry) wishes he could have a "do-over." And that's exactly what he gets when he wakes up one morning to find he's 17 years old again. With his adult mind stuck inside the body of a teenager (Zac Efron), Mike actually has the chance to reverse some decisions he wishes he'd never made. But maybe they weren't so bad after all. Leslie Mann and Michelle Trachtenberg co-star.
