17 Again (2009)

Director: Burr Steers
Starring: Zac Efron, Leslie Mann, Matthew Perry, Thomas Lennon & Michelle Trachtenberg

 This guy decides his life is lame and wants to do it over, he wakes up and is 17 again, the age he was when he felt he was on top of the world.

 This is the kind of lame plot you see done again and again every few years. You would expect this to be a made for teevee movie on the family channel or something. I was actually surprised and half-ass enjoyed part of it.

 Mike O'Donnell wakes up 17 again, but it is now not 1989. He becomes friends with his son and is still trying to hit on his wife. His son finds it weird his friends crushing on his mom. His daughter. Michelle Trachtenberg, ends up trying to get with him... and it turns out she's a freak! Pretty funny stuff. Thomas Lennon plays Mike's best friend and is damned hilarious as the geek in school that became rich. Still maybe not worth the cash to shell out for theaters, but definitely worth a see.

Verdict: * * *
