17 Again (PG-13, 2009)

I am a 13 year old girl and I personally loved the movie. I've never been a big Zac Efron fan, however, it is good to know that he can "grow up" with his acting. I would recommend this movie to middle school and high school students. It's a good romantic comedy and a great sleepover movie. If you are concerned with sex, drugs, and language then I wouldn't suggest this movie, however, it's not THAT bad.

I thought the whole movie was just fine. There might of been two curse words, but people are overreacting if there thinking a Zac Efron movie is too much for their kids. If parents are concerned, they need to rent it first and see what it is about and then decide if they want their kids to see it. I'm 16 years of age- and to be honest with you... this movie is nothing compared to what kids at school say everyday!

AWESOME! But innapropriate; guy dates his own daughter in his 17-year-old form.

Funny? Check. Big-name actors? Check. Should you take your "Zac Efron Tweens"? No. Teens should watch it, but please don't take your Elementary school Die-hard HSM fans just because it has Zac Efron in it.

17 Again was a great movie, with a great message. it was refreshing and different from other recent movies, with a heartfelt message to go along with it. A guy who resents marrying his wife and giving up college at a young age, is seventeen again and is reminded why he married her, and makes him appreciate his life and he then wants it back. it demonstrates hardships in relationships with the dad and kids, wife and husband, and inner conflict with finding where and who your supposed to be. there were sexual refrences that would be okay for mature 12 year olds, but no younger than that. other than that and mild language, the movie is overall appropriate. i would definitely recommend it.

Teen Pregnency but otherwise a great movie!

I'm 13, and I thought it was a little. . ."iffy". I think it all depends on maturity, and how your kid is able to handle issues of this movie. I personally don't recall drugs or alcohol (though I may have just not been paying attention), but sex is definatly an issue, as well as at the same time a good opener for "the talk" or atleast a good topic for young girls about how some guys may look at them. There are some scenes that truly got me wondering "Ok, so much for a family movie." like where several girls are all begging for sex with one male, or when one of the perverted boys grabs a handful of condoms and looks at his girlfriend. Or where a teenage girl gets Zach's character in a bedroom and is lunging at him for sex. Also Zach's friend has a girlfriend of which sex comes up, it doesn't show anything, but at the end of their date they discuss whose house they'll go to, and things like that. What I mean by good role models is when Zach gets confronted with these sexual issues (because inside he's a grown man), he knows what happens and tries to avoid them, as well as lean the distraught teenagers towards realizing the consequences BEFORE it happens. So if you think you're child is ready, as well as YOU; the parent are ready to talk about these issues, then I say 13-14 and up, but be very certain if you are showing you're 13 year old. You may want to pause the movie and explain how this relates to real life and how they need to be careful, I've seen young teens (that's right, 13-14), who think this is what always happens in high school, that's as you say; "the norm", and they use that as guidelines for their actions. Overall the movie is heartfelt and funny. But that doesn't always make it appropriate. (As for violence, I believe one fight scene, that from what I recall Zach was in for his good reasons, not too much child explaining there.) (And as for swearing; yes, there is some. But alot of teenagers and young teens as well DO swear alot. I'm definatly not saying it's good, but I'm saying your child should begin getting used to it, if they are atleast 13, but you should also talk to them about how NOT to swear, and to not give into that temptation. I, like I said, am 13, and almost all my classmates swear some of the time, but I remember there are better words for every one of those, and I tune it out, as well as try and ease them towards swearing less, to where at least they don't swear around me, and you should urge your child to do the same. They need to build a "no drugs, no sex, no language" reputation with their classmates, and they should be slightly more behaved around your child, (but results may vary))

My MPAA Rating, PG-13: language, some sexual material, and teen partying

perfect film i loved it so much
