It's never too old to be young...

What I loved most: Great comic timing of the cast

What I really hated: Predictable ending

A middle aged man, Mike O'Donnell (Matthew Perry) is in the midst of a mid-life crisis faces estrangement from his kids, impending divorce and termination of employment. In a surprising turn of events, he is given the opportunity to return to his seventeen year old self, played by a suave and charismatic Zac Efron, to bring himself closer to his family and salvage what is left of his familial relationships. Even though the plot is simple, with a moral core on the importance of family that everyone can relate to, it is nonetheless a charming and affable production that everyone takes to. The supporting cast, boosted by a superb performance by Leslie Mann, allows the story to progress smoothly despite certain hiccups in the narrative. The complexities of the characters' relations is a hoot and you will find yourself laughing out loud at all the pratfalls and predicaments that Mike lands ihimself in. It also helps that Zac Efron tackles his role with verve, energy, great comic timing and seems to slip comfortably into his character. This light-hearted and mirthful comedy is every bit as entertaining as it promises to be.

Relaxingly Funny

What I loved most: Good acting by Zac Efron

What I really hated: -

I am surprised that Zac can acted so well like a father and it was pretty funny seeing him acting like that. A relaxing funny movie to me though the story is simple.

It's a Coming-of-age in reverse

Sure it's a fun movie to watch. People laugh loudly, people cheered and even say OOOHHH (disgusted). But do you know that this kind of movie is too typical nowadays. Beside people watch this movie just because of Zac Efron perhaps (and Michelle Trachtenberg... & Matthew Perry). Some parts are also way too over-the-top. And yes I believe people will call it a cute film because of all the sexual references and because they see Zac cries in the end of the movie. And yes, girls will be screaming on top of their lungs when they see him half-naked. It's a pre-teen joy, but not really for adults.
