What would you do if you got a second shot at life? Maybe not so for those who are younger than 25 but New Line Cinema presents...Class of 1989, Mike ODonnell 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, Mikes 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 crashing with his high school nerd-turned-techno-billionaire best friend Ned. But Mike is given another chance when he is miraculously transformed back to the age of 17. Unfortunately, Mike may look 17 again, but his thirtysomething outlook is totally uncool in the class of 2009. And in trying to recapture his best years, Mike could lose the best things that ever happened to him.
I'm sure Zac Efron (Young Mike O'Donnell) is not strange to most people out there. Especially the younger people. He starred in the muscial "Hairspray", which was a hit in 2007. However, the beginning of the movie could be a disappointment to some. It’s bit early to say that Zac has grown up to a serious adult actor, but we did see some quite promising points in him. And not to mention how charming he is. Especially that smile!
A predictable storyline but heart warming. I have to admit i think Leslie Mann (who play older Scarlet) was pretty hot in this show. My opinion la. Sophisticated mum.
Not a weekend worthy film in my opinion but nice enough for a weekday afternoon of relaxation.
