movie - 17 again

Last week was my movie week, which, I guess, was an attempt that I had for myself to fill in the emptiness caused by my getting rid of Ugly Betty from my daily life. So far I totally watched three movies: 17 Again, Angels and Demons, and Cape No.7. I plan to watch the fourth movie recently: Twilight. As you can see from the poster above, this posting will be reflection of "17 Again." But before that, maybe some entertainment is required, not only for physical pleasure, but also for memory refreshment. Here's the trailer:



At first glance, the movie seemed to share some commonalities with the movie Click, and it is the case in some aspects to me. At least, both dealt with the main character involving a journey related to time. While "17 again" goes back to the "glorious past," "Click" has more control for the time the main character wants to be: ether going to the past or flying to the future. The ultimate theme to me is a little bit similar as well. Though you have opportunities to either go back or toward your specific period of life time to change your previous bad decision or to avoid something bad from happening, yet there's trade-off of missing something. In a sense both main characters changed their life, yet what made their life changed is not the decision they change, but the different inspiration they acquired when faced with the changing moment in their life, caused by something mysterious.

While both movie are funny, I still like "Click" more than "17 Again," for I think "Click" is not only funnier but also touching. One thing that "17 Again" outperforms "Click", though, is that Zac Efron is really eye-catching. But he is not my cup of tea haha...
