17 Again – I have mixed feelings
Browsing on Videogum brought my attention to this trailer, in which it appears Matthew Perry magically turns into Zac Efron, and then starts going to school with his daughter.
Remember the late 80s, when we got some kind of age-switching, young-again movie like every year or two? And yet, part of me thinks this could actually be funny. Probably not in a pay-full-price-for-a-ticket way, but in a maybe-rent-it-on-iTunes way.
Thoughts? Am I way off? Because I can also see it being really bad, but, for the moment I’m giving it the benefit of the doubt. The film is set to come out in April 2009.
FYI, teenage girls reading this blog (all three of you), yes, I have met Zac Efron, and yes, he seems nice in person, too.

Cody,
You’ll be glad to know I nearly added an (and Cody) to that sentence, and then thought, won’t people who don’t know me think that’s mean? But I did think of you.

Hmm…Thomas Lennon as the goofy sidekick. Brian Doyle-Murray. Michelle Trachtenberg playing teenager again. This could be a lot of fun (though it’s a bit of a shame they didn’t actually set it in 1989).
Nah, that looks okay.
