Follow-up on yesterday’s follow-up.

I saw 17 Again with my Dad who has Alzheimer’s Disorder.  We both enjoyed the movie.  A good movie with a good message.  Yes, it’s being compared to other movies…It’s a wonderful life, Freaky Friday, etc.  But It’s a Wonderful Life is a classic.  You can’t hear that message enough times.

Why do I care so much about this movie.  Because I love the message.  I think the real message is to Fathers.  Dad’s spend more time with your kids.  Your Kids need you.  Good message don’t cha think?  Timely at the least.  Any who, I hope you see the movie and if you love it as much as me, please leave a comment!

Follow-up on yesterday’s post. 17 Again, a movie review.

Yesterday I wrote a post about a new movie that came out Friday, April 17th.  In watching a number of other movie reviewers I see that they are critizing the movie because it is so much like other movies, like Freaky Friday for example.  

There is one point about this movie that is completely original.  It points out how important it is for Fathers to be present to their families.   Without spoiling the movie for you, the film has a mature point that Parents can learn from.  It’s really not a teenage fluff movie, as I have seen reported in other reviews.  Alls I can say is that the reviewers are not open to hearing the message of the movie, so they say things like 17 Again, and again and again without ever mentioning the poignant message.  Go see this movie is you have a family and remember your children need you.  I know you Moms know this, I’m just not convinced that the Dads are aware of this fact.

“17 again”, a movie review…

 

Saw “17 Again” today and just loved it.  The theatre was filled with middle aged people.   So I guess that speaks to a movie whos time has come.  Especially if you’re a baby boomer.

Rotten Tomatoes Users gave 17 Again a 61%.  Rotten Tomato Critics gave this movie a lousy 43%.  Let’s check out Reelz channel and see if the scoring is dismal there as well.    Reelz Channel Users gave 17 Againa promising 7.  So that’s good.  I’m disappointed with the scoring from Rotten Tomatoes.  Myself I gave this movie four (4) out of five (5) stars.  It definitely was a fun movie to watch.   

This is Zac Efron’s first movie without Disney’s branding.  I thought Zac Efron did a great job in the movie.  Zac wasn’t the only one giving an outstanding performance.  Leslie Mann was also very funny and a effective actor.  My favorite part is when Leslie Mann’s character (Scar) started playing with Zac Efron’s Character’s face (Mark) and she manipulated his face like it was playdoh or clay.  Very funny watching ZacEfron’s face turn beet red. 

Well, I’ve got to run.  So sorry this blog is so short today.
