Watch 17 Again For Free

Touches You

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

17 Again is surprisingly entertaining. Yes, it's the same age-switch storyline we have seen a number of times, but there is fresh humor and some original moments in this movie - it's worth watching.

This is one of those Zac Efron movies which made me a big fan of his, where he totally nails it good along with a perfect partner that is Thomas Lennon, who indispensably did a pretty fine job too and added his unique touch on the movie.17 Again granted us a quite entertaining experience for a concept that is too sensitive to play with, and might go in a really bad way in case of not being handled properly. But the director knew what he was doing, he gave us an indisputably-good comedic movie which I would recommend to my friends.8/10

17 Again is entertaining, engaging and refreshing. Although I have to admit that all the characters in the movie are somehow stupid, they indeed bring a lot of funs. Moreover, this film delivers a nice message. Each choice has its pros and cons. Rather than constantly focus on the negative sides, you should value and cherish what you have on account of the choice.

I bought this at a charity sale where dvds were 50p each or 3 for £1. This was the 3rd, so it was essentially free and I thought it might be fun to take to a wine-and-takeaway night. This isn't a great film, and it's not a film that will stand the test of time, but it was notably hard to mock, and if 3 drunk 20- somethings can't find much to laugh at in a film like this then the good must outweigh the bad. I feel like this would be a standard film that I would never even have noticed if it wasn't for the inclusion of Efron in the post-HSM phase. I bet most HSM fans didn't even enjoy it, because it definitely seems like it wasn't aimed at them. If it wasn't for the creepy Disney movies (HSM, camp rock, they are all hilarious for all the wrong reasons) I would never have looked down on this film. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I shouldn't have. It's not a standard romcom because it managed to find a new twist on the genre, which should be lauded. And it's not just a vehicle for Efron, which is a bonus. Maybe 7/10 is too high, maybe it's just a reaction to the fact I expected it to be truly godawful. But most dvds get watched once and then returned to the exact same stall that I got them from, and this one didn't.
