Plots(1)
In 1989, Mike O'Donnell (Zac Efron) is a popular high school senior, a star on the basketball court and looking forward to a bright future at college and beyond. But everything changes when he learns that his girlfriend Scarlett (Allison Miller) is pregnant, and he gives up his college place to settle down with her and bring up their baby. 20 years later, things are not going too well for the 37-year-old Mike (Matthew Perry): he is separated from Scarlett (Leslie Mann), living with his billionaire best friend Ned Freedman (Thomas Lennon), his career at a pharmaceutical company is at a standstill, and his relationships with his teenage children are practically non-existent. Mike is unexpectedly given the chance to rewrite the script of his adult life when he finds himself miraculously transformed back to the age of 17. But how will he fit in with the class of 2009?

"When you're young, everything feels like the end of the world." When Zac Efron, Michelle and Leslie Mann are at the peak of their performance, and the genre mixes a few clichés with an nostalgia as strong as a wave of fandom, it is impossible to resist. "Different" teenage comedies still know how to warm your heart.

A quite pleasant comedy, where the only thing that bothered me a little was that Matthew Perry didn't appear much here, as he couldn't show even a fraction of his comedic artistry. Otherwise, there are great women here, and Zac Efron hasn't been one of those actors that bothered me for a while. Additionally, Thomas Lennon is pulling it off wonderfully outside of the main storyline.

Pretty good. Back to the Future inside out, with a hole instead of a DeLorean. It also seems to me that Efron must be somehow related to M. J. Fox, the resemblance is uncanny, or was it just the similar plot? Perry also is nice to see. Otherwise, the good scenes balance out the bad ones, but I had more fun than not, so thumbs up. I was expecting it to be a bigger heap of nonsense.

I felt like I was in High School Musical at the beginning, then ended up just in high school. It wasn't bad. Not that I cracked the screen with laughter, no, but I wasn't bored. One good scene is when the "best friend" has a date. That one kind of amused me. Otherwise, as always Matthew was awesome, I still see Chandler in him, but it was quite fitting here. And then, after the movie, it's interesting to watch the credits for a while, enhanced by the visual aids ;-)
