Well guys, i'm moving from my usually posting into movie reviews. i hope you guys like it and please tag and tell me how you feel about the reviews so i can improve on it.
a few things before i start. Actually, i tend to make a voice recording for my movie review, but it's kind of awkward talking to myself thru a mircophone so i decided to type out rather than doing a "podcast".
you can see my rating style on the left side of the screen, once again thanks spill.com for the rating style and the awesome movie reviews they made. And there will be a trailer on the bottom left side of the screen, it is kinda like an indication of what kind of review i'm gonna do or already done. so currently the youtube trailer is playing "17 again" which means i'm reviewing on 17 again. get it? hope so. i kinda confuse myself with my own words.
Alrite now. 17 again...
17 again is a movie about this 37 years old, mike, who hate his currently life because he thought that he made the wrong decision when he was 17. He gave up his chance of going into a famous college, and decide to marry his girlfriend who is pregnant. And so he feels that his life is screwed from that day.
So one day, he met this old guy who is his so called "spirit god" lure him into a water cyclone change his body into the way he used to be when he was 17. And he was given one chance to go a different road to find out whether his decisions was right. But the problem is that all is still the same, which means the time didnt turn back, only his body did. And so he used another identity to make his family happier. And eventually he got a road to choose.... His family or his scholarship..
To me this movie is quite predictable, it's like a typical "the grass is greener on the other side" kinda movie, and normally those kind of movies end up in the same way, they feel that the "grass" is not "greener" afterall. so it's quite predictable how this movie goes.
But the unpredictable part was i thought it's like a typical time goes back kinda movie, but in fact it's not. it's only his body which shapeshifted into his 17 self again. And also i felt that the comedy (btw it's a comedy movie) was quite original. YOU DONT SEE ORIGINAL JOKES SO MUCH IN THESE MODERN DAYS ANYMORE. So if you like comedy, watch 17 again. It's kinda touching to me too. but i'm sentinmental guy so i dont know whether it is touching to you guys.
So my rating for 17 again is a high MATINEE!!
