Critic Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times | Roger EbertAdd Critic to Favorites
Pleasant, harmless PG-13 entertainment, with a plot a little more surprising and acting a little better than I expected.Read the full review

Often silly but it's an honest, unselfconscious exploration of the conflict between a man's physical and psychological age.Read the full review
The Onion (A.V. Club) | Scott TobiasAdd Critic to Favorites

17 Again
04/09/09 Zac Efron's squeaky-clean tweener-bait profile is unlikely to be threatened by "17 Again," an energetic but earthbound comic fantasy that borrows a few moves, if little inspiration, from "Big" and "It's a Wonderful Life." A defanged sophomore outing for helmer Burr Steers, arriving seven years after his darkly humorous debut, "Igby Goes Down," the tale of a depressed father who gets a second shot at high school glory traffics in the usual cliches about teen misfits, loser dads and high-concept out-of-body experiences. | Variety -
