17 again.
I really didn't think that I was going to enjoy
This one because I don't really enjoy Zac Efron
Acting to be honest and it just sounded like it
Would let you down. Don't judge a book by
It's cover because this film to my surprise
I enjoyed this and I think that it was a bit of a
Wake up call for all the smaller films to shout
"Hey look at me watch me you will enjoy me"!
So the film follows Mike O'Donell a
Miserable, disappointed businessman
Who thought he chose the right choices when he
Was younger but he chose the wrong ones.
After loosing his job, his pride and his family
Through arrogance, complaining and divorce
He is forced to live with his high school best
Friend; Ned Goldman who is a massive nerd
But amazingly rich. One afternoon when he
Goes to pick up his kids from high school he encounters
A strange janitor, later on his way home Mike's life
Swirls out of reality when he sees this weird janitor
Standing on the edge of a bridge.
When he gets home he looks in the mirror
And realises he's 17... Again and figures out
That this a gift to try and make the right choices
But to also make sure his kids do to.
This film was very enjoyable on the behalf of
The comedy because it was the first comedy film
I have seen in a while that actually is funny.
And half most of that is thanks to the brilliant acting
Of Thomas Lennon who was absolutely fantastic
Every scene he was in was side split-tingly hilarious
And I desperately looking for more of him.
This film also shows that you have to prepare
For the future and that growing up isn't fun you
Have to make decisions and very tough ones
Too.
But it was a very good film that surprised me
With the acting and the comedy so really everyone
Should go and see it.
