Because there just isnt enough dreamy teen idols floating around the TMB pages, I thought I would share the trailer for Zac Efron’s 17 Again.
FirstShowing offers this description:
in essence, this is about Chandler from “Friends” suddenly turning into Zac Efron, whose best friend is Lt. Jim Dangle from “Reno 911!” and his ex-wife, who he tries to get back together with, is Judd Apatow’s wife Leslie Mann. When you think about it like that, you might be able to enjoy this just a bit more
I find myself drawn to these submystic type movies. There is no grandiose magical presence in the world but some subtle change that introduces an impossible body switch.
I don’t know why. I just LOVE these types of movies. Big, Groundhog Day, Freaky Friday, etc. Aside from some small impossible moment of magic or ritual, the rest of the world is normal and makes sense, but we get to see a fish out of water dealing with a situation that you could never prepare for.
So yeah, it doesn’t look like a vehicle to get Efron his Oscar, but it will give us a light fluffy family friendly film. As a dad I have no problem with that either. I liked Efron in Hairspray and he may one day get hired for something other than that winning smile, but for now we get this.
That and anything with Leslie Mann and Michelle Tratchenberg in it has to at least be fun to look at.
