You only live once...


...Or do you?

This is the question that '17 Again' ponders, through a Freaky Friday style plot.

Having been to see this film yesterday evening I felt it needed a small shove on my blog.

Zac Efron stars (quite brilliantly) as a young Mike, who grows up (played extremely engrossingly by Friends star Matthew Perry) to be a man who is about to lose his wife and kids and has just lost his job. A 'spirit guide' sends him back to being '17 Again' (cleverly titled?!) as he tries to repair what has broken.

This film surprised me - it was witty (thanks to the Ned character and his bizarre pulling techniques) and it also tugged at the old heart strings (albeit, I was pretty emo yesterday).

I seriously recommend you go and watch this movie - even if just to see how much more of an actor Efron is (his High School Musical Days are long over).

Here's the trailer...
