"Nothing but a glorified midget wrangler"

In an attempt to break out of his role as Troy Bolton, the most famous high school student on the planet, Zac Efron weaseled his way into my life and I’m now the proud owner of 17 Again. The plot is a bit shaky and god knows everyone could have done without Michelle Trachtenberg, but I think the film is generally underappreciated. I mean any movie that uses “The Underdog” by Spoon during the transformation scene of the dorky protagonist into a leather jacket wearing hottie deserves our admiration. Spoon, combined with a hilariously dorky Thomas Lennon obsessed with Star Wars, and we have an embarrassingly addicting comedy. I wont lie… my sister and I watched 17 Again twice the night we rented it. We could have done without Zefron’s nut hugging jeans, but something about his Matthew Perry-esque humor sparked my interest (the six pack had nothing to do with it). Perhaps admitting in my introduction to having an attraction to bad movies was not the way to get you to watch Thomas Lennon at his finest, however if you think you’ve escaped the Zefron craze, you’re wrong.
