What To Do If Scorpio Man Ignoe Your Text

17 Again - Back in high school

Year: 2009
Director: Burr Steers
Distribution: Warner Bros.

Here's another person who from time to time he reappeared on the big screen. That of an adult child who returns, or vice versa, in other words that for some reason back in time ...

The examples are numerous from "Wonderful Life" Frank Capra's master, until the recent "The Family Man" with Nicholas Cage, or "30 Going on" with Jennifer Garner. Before they had seen "Big" with Tom Hanks, learn from our "grow up" with Renato Pozzetto.

Mike O'Donnell is a forty disillusioned and apathetic who dreams of returning to school. Said than done. An angel pretending to jump off a bridge and Mike, to save, it throws itself into a vortex that makes him go back to having the body of a seventeen. The man now baby, however, must contend with her daughter, courted by a dude, while attempting to fix a life that seems destined segregation in the role of underdog ...

Operetta mild, that of "17 again", all engineered to brush Zac Efron, dry after the success of "High School Musical," and Matthew Perry, now nearly forgotten hero of the TV series "Friends." The result is what you expect without infamy and without praise. Some found it funny, like the young Mike, who must win back the hearts of his future wife that does not seem to recognize it, or the courtship "Barely Legal" that makes a boy against her daughter, but it all boils down to a jump to the basket without markers. The dunk hits, but as we have seen much better games. Nor is the sympathy of the actors save the film bore a subgenus which for years has said it all.

Diego Altobelli (2009)
