Ok, so its a rainy, miserable day outside. But I'm at work so its ok. But with no schoolwork, what's a girl to do? Watch bootleg movies that's what! Today's agenda: 17 Again. Starring the ever-witty Mathew Perry, and MY personal guilty pleasure, Zac Efron (Don't judge...you don't know my life). And while a movie about becoming 17 again and returning to the highschool glory days will most definitely have it's gaping plot holes and discrepencies...this one had A...LOT of them. Per my new movie title, here is a grand master flash list of 17 odd plot holes that could have easily been fixed with some sort of directing/writing plaster:
1. Ms. Matheson, she HATES Frank or Fred, whatever his name is (I couldn't hear that well, it was bootleg, come on.) but then is like Okay, I guess I'll go on a date with you...whatever.
2. So, Zac Efron is TOTALLY trying to get his wife back, while he's a teenager. And NOBODY thinks its weird that their slow dancing and spending all this alone time together...but then he tries to kiss her WHILE shes holding his hand, and we're supposed to be surprised! Come on people, we're not that dumb.
3.Sterotypes. Ok, stereotype the usual teen drama movie. There's the jock thats a jerk, his innocent and well meaning girlfriend that he abuses, the dork that gets taped to the toilet, and the cool guy thats just trying to help everyone out. Check, check,check AND check.
4. So the mom FINALLY realizes at the end of the movie that the kid is her husband even though he looks exactly like him, says the same stuff he says and tells her about the time they first met. Is she thick or what?!
5. When Frank/Fred is asking out the principle and she goes, 'only if you don't take me in a gaudy limo' and he like waves off the Hummer limo, shes looking RIGHT at it. Duh
6. A swirling vortex...really? Actually, it was the most original thing in the movie so, kudos.
7. Ten more things to go? The movie was only an hour and a half!

.17. Yay! Made it! Ok, so at the end he turns back into Mathew Perry and she takes him back and they LEAVE...while their son is finally the star of the basketball team! For the first time! That was THE most annoying part of the movie. Ugh.
Altogether though, I liked it. Zac Efron is my eye candy.
