Well, hellloooo Zac Efron! The young stud, who is redefining cute as we know it, proves that he really does have the acting chops to graduate from the High School Musical franchise that made him famous.

In the pleasantly engaging 17 Again, Matthew Perry (of Friends fame) plays a middle-aged man whose life is a mess. His wife (Leslie Mann) wants to divorce him, his kids dislike him, and his job is rubbish.

He wishes he was back in a high school when he was a basketball champ and everything was great. Voila! - a stranger comes along and grants him that very wish. He is transformed into the 17-year-old version of himself (Zac Efron) and goes back to high school to rights the wrongs of his present situation…

Directed by Burr Steers (Igby Goes Down), 17 Again is another body-swapping comedy to join the crowded ranks of body-swapping comedies that began with Freaky Friday in 1976. But just like that movie and 13 Going on 30 and Big and Just Follow Law, to name a few, 17 Again is sweet and funny enough to be inoffensive.

he cast is very good, and Zac Efron proves he can carry a movie outside of the musical genre. Even the film's Big Dramatic Moments are pulled off convincingly, with Zac displaying a surprising range of emotions. Needless to say, we liked this film. And we looooved Zac Efron.
