17 Again, a review by Rich

Title: 17 Again

Runtime:98
Certificate:12
Year:2009
Genres:Comedy

Plot:If you somehow had the chance, would you do your life over? Thirtysomething Mike O'Donnell would. Then one mysteriously magical moment, Mike gets his chance. He's suddenly back at Hayden High where he's the star of the basketball team, a total hottie and a classmate to his own teenage kids...which gives Mike a chance to go from not-so-good dad to really cool friend.
Zac Efron (Hairspray, the High School Musical movies) and Matthew Perry (Friends ) are 17 Again and fabulously funny as the younger and older Mike in a good-time time-warp comedy that proves the best year of your life is the one you're living right now.

My Review:
Tired old story, man unhappy with his life, gets visited by angel (in this case janitor), wishes he could go back in time, does and ends up at school with daughter hitting on him, sorts out nerdy son into popular kid, hits on wife, realises he doesn't want to change, goes back to proper age and he and wife live happily ever after.
And thats about it, except it stars the gorgeous Leslie Mann to add some beauty to this sorry excuse for a movie.

Poor Dief, or should I say Corky
A real fun episode! A lot of great banter between Ray and Fraser.
Fraser: "You hit a 'zed'"
Ray: "What's a 'zed'?"

This episode guest starred Cliff's mother from the Cosby Show as the old woman you is almost attacked.
