What would you do if you got a second shot at life? Class of 1989, Mike O’Donnell is a star on his high school basketball court with a college scout in the stands and a bright future in his grasp. But instead, he decides to throw it all away to share his life with his girlfriend Scarlett and the baby he just learned they are expecting. Almost 20 years later, Mike’s glory days are decidedly behind him. His marriage to Scarlett has fallen apart, he has been passed over for a promotion at work, his teenage kids think he is a loser, and he has been reduced to cras

Trailer is here in HD http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/17again/

This concept has been done many times, but this looks like it could be a lot of fun. I laughed out loud a few times in the trailer.

 

[Matt]

Matthew Perry in a Zac Efron star vehicle. Its like his agent was sitting in his office thinking, "How can I really put the nail in the coffin that is Matthew Perry's career?"

Poor Matt isn't even listed as starring on the film's main poster .

when i seen the preview i thought it was like mr desnity..

 

[Eggyman]

Such a shame.

I'm a fan of Perry - I always find him funny - but that Efron guy just... grr... I don't know. He's too polished and glossy, like a young Tom Cruise but more gay and without the hook nose. Something about him just makes the lil girl in me scream with pubescent frustration and then grab the pair of Disney ears from my pink quilted bed.

I don't know. I don't care that he's pretty and secretly gay (yes, there's nothing wrong with that) and has a hot girlfriend who's too young for me and puts naked pictures on the internet of herself. Something about him is just so sterile. He's like a hospital surgical tool: Clean, sharp, and clinically dangerous if used on you without anaesthetic.

I didn't see any lol moments in the trailer.

 

[dark_b]

the guy from friends? chandler? perry ?

 

[Hush]

Yeah I will be dragged to this by the girl, but hey Perry is funny and I hope this helps him get more big screen time.

This is a Zac Efron film my friend, I dont even know why Matthew Perry is in this since they could have got anyone to play his role from the looks of things.

 

[Hush]

Yeah but i need something to cling too, seeing as Matthew Perry is kinda in this I would like to think I can cling to his presence. lol

Extremely well-phrased, sir. I've been looking for a perfect description of why I don't like Efron, and lo, here it is.

 

[KenK]

Yeah, I mean, ever if the movie's sh***y, at least Perry would get top billing! Now, he can't even be acknowledged as a co-star?!?! What da f***, man?!?!

 

[That-Guy]

If Zac Efron grows up to look like Matthew Perry, then something tells me his female fanbase is going to drop off like a cliffdiver without a parachute.

 

[scifiwolf]

Don't know what to think about the trailer. It's a pretty old hat plot, but it seems like it will have its moments. I dunno, I'll probably wait for DVD...

 

[Timstuff]

I remember that there was one TV season where 3 different networks launched TV shows using this movie's premise, and they all bombed. Guess Hollywood is that desperate for ideas, no matter how old or worn out they are.

 

[I Am The Knight]

the guy from friends? chandler? perry ?

Yes. Chandler.

I'm not a fan of him at all, but I thought he was awesome in Hairspray. I think he has charisma.

 

[K.B.]

There were so many films like this back in the 80's so Im going to check this out.

 

[MissHush]

really, besides the fact that I would marry zac efron in an instant,. he looks like he fits this role well. it's one of his first non-musical roles, and even though I will miss that voice, the movie should be awesome. from the previous it seems that efron and michelle trachtenberg have great chemistry for this.

agreed. myself included (sadly)

 

[Sawyer]

I wouldn't have too much of a problem with this movie (it really doesnt look like ****... not great, but not awful) if I bought for a second that Zac Efron is a young Matthew Perry. Seriously, I would be a better young Matthew Perry than Efron.

 

[Prison Mike]

this movie doesn't look that bad. could be a nice dvd rent.

 

[Catman]

This movie is gonna shock many. It's actually pretty good.

Well, like I said before, it didnt look turdtastic from the start, like HSM3. There looked to be quite a few pretty funny scenes. But I can probably wait for a DVD rental.

 

[JP]

I kind of want to see this.

The people making the trailers screwed up. There wasn't enough Thomas Lennon (of Reno 911). He was awesome and the main reason to see the movie.
