Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (1 ):
Kids say (1 ):

This is another entry in the "adults becoming teenagers again" subgenre, and it doesn't add much to the canon. Though having the adults in Seventeen Again be grandparents rather than parents adds a slightly new twist, it lacks enough originality to warrant repeat viewings.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
