Official Site: http://17againmovie.com/
Cast: Zac Efron (High School Musical), Matthew Perry (Friends), Leslie Mann (Knocked Up)
Genres: Comedy, Science Fiction/Fantasy, Teen

Synopsis:
Mike (Matthew) is almost 40, in the process of a divorce with his wife Scarlet(Leslie) whom he blames everything that has gone wrong with his 'not-so-imperfect' life and also his two kids whom he just couldn't understand nor do they wish to relate to.
Making an effort to communicate with them, he goes back to his high school on intention to fetch his kids but meet the old janitor from 1989 when he was still in school. Janitor asks him why he's so unhappy with his current life - a beautiful wife and two wonderful kids - he says he just doesn't know and wishes he was 17 again.
And a sudden downpour later, he runs home to his friend's place where he's been putting up at since the divorce begun and stares at a 17 year old self (Zac) staring back at him.

Review:
I loved it.
Matthew did a good job bringing the plight of the main character, his personality and hopes and wishes. I didn't relate his former Friends character; Chandler into the role because of that. Afterall, everyone in their 20s 30s can never forget the fond characters in Friends.
I also enjoyed the movie due to Zac Efron's convincing role as the young Matthew. He's both delectable and very very fun to watch. his mishaps and how he almost got kissed by his daughter whom almost fell for his caring ways towards her (he was afterall her dad, just really really young) haha. And I enjoy seeing Leslie Mann whom always gets into characters of a Mom, but always a hot vibrant mom.
totally recommend it as a Couple date movie. Girls would love it (the cute Zac). Guys would enjoy it for the comedy and storyline. Families can watch it and love it together too.
Its also the kind of movie you could rewatch again and again (well, I'm a female and i am starting to love Zac after watching it! he's sooooo cute!)
*cough*
Back in 1988, there was a movie called 18 Again!, full synopsis here
It is almost similar in Genre as a Grandpa gets his body switched with his Grandson whom was 18 after a car accident. While his Grandson laid in a state of coma in hospital, he gets into the mode and relishes his high school life and playing Rugby as the fastest runner. He also helps his grandson (himself being in his body) to know & chase his grandson's sweetheart dream girl. Through it all, he got to know his son & daughter-in-law better as they showed how they educated his grandson and spoke well of him.
I saw the movie too and i did enjoy it fondly but 17 Again was much more lovable.

18 Again! Movie
9/10
-Good Movie for Couples, Families Movie, Teenagers.
-Guys above 25 won't quite like it because there aren't hot young things in there and if you are watching with a bunch of girls or your girlfriend/wife you have to tolerate their endless swoonings towards Matthew & Zac.
