Though it uses a well-worn formula, 17 Again has just enough Zac Efron charm to result in a harmless, pleasurable teen comedy. Read critic reviews

Jul 28, 2012not a bad film but by the end its a little boring. The concept isn't anything new but the film is well cast and often has more going for it then you realise.Brendan N Super Reviewer

17 Again Quotes
Janitor: | Wondering what might have been. |
Mike O'Donnell (17 years): | ...I want to remind you of September 7th, 1988. It was the first time that I saw you. You were reading Less Than Zero. You were wearing a Guns N' Roses T-shirt I'd never seen anything so perfect. I remember thinking that I had to have you, or I'd die. Then you whispered that you loved me.....at the homecoming dance. And I felt.....so peaceful.....and safe. Because I knew that no matter what happened from that day on.....nothing could ever be that bad. Because I had you. |
Alex O'Donnell: | And, um, I just want to tell you that you look like my dog. |
Nicole: | Excuse me? |
Alex O'Donnell: | Your hair looks like my dog's hair. |
Nicole: | Oh, um... |
Alex O'Donnell: | No, it's shiny and soft. We give my dog special food. It's got flax in it. She's a sweetheart. Well, she died. |
Nicole: | So I look like your dead dog? |
Alex O'Donnell: | I'm just really nervous, and I've wanted to talk to you for so long. |
Scarlet O'Donnell: | [squeezing young Mike's face] You look just like my husband... |
