17 Again - Mini Movie Review
17 Again (2009)
Director: Burr Steers
Genre: Romcom
The writing is awesome. It feels like the creators had a vision where to take this movie and they nailed it. It doesn't just have an awesome premise, but the plot and how it's told are amazing. Very well done. It's cute, it's romantic, it's touching, it's deep, and it's totally fun.
The only flaws that I notice from this movie are, first of all, the comedy doesn't land at all. It's super lame. The worst bit is actually when they think a horny girl is funny, which is totally wrong and normal. Sometimes the punchline is just: Hey I'm a woman and I'm horny. Which is so outdated.
The aesthetic part of the movie also isn't really strong. It's clear that they focus more on the writing. Although the set in the Scarlet' backyard is quite pretty.
My favorite part of this movie is how they tell a story about the concerns of a father and a husband about their family. It's touching to see how loving Mike is, especially when he turns 17 again.
It's a solid 9.5/10 from me.
This is probably my favorite movie for a teenager dating romcom genre.
Zac Efron is handsome and wholesome <3
