This review is another result of wanting to watch something light and fun. I don’t adore Zack Efron as much as the fanatics routed for him in HS Musical movies, and other movies like Hairspray etc. Ironically, on this movie… I find him, cute and irresistible.
The concept of the movie might have been used for a lot of movies. This concept that I am talking about is the concept wherein a person’s thought and soul is interchanged to another person, or being transported either on the character’s past or future bodies. Examples of these movies are—Freaky Friday (even though I haven’t watched it yet) “13 going 30”, even locally we have it, who would forget “Here Comes the Bride?” We can also consider the movie “Click,” and the list goes on. But what is great about this movie is that--- it is a great and challenging role for Zac Efron. It is kinda something new for him, not in the sense that he needs to act manly, but it is somehow new to his traditional HIGHSCHOOL king character.
To further elaborate about the character: It is also good because being that a chick flick of a movie, it is ruled out by a guy character, and guy supporting actors. To be specific, the movie is about a father, and how he rediscovers the importance of his role and rekindles the love for his wife and his family. It is somehow a chickflick, but since it is about a father’s life, the story covers more audience—the kid group, the chick flick lovers (young women), and basically the father, therefore the whole family.
On Zac Efron, I like the idea that it is so awkward to see a young hot guy acting as if he is really a 35-45 year old guy. Great challenge for him, and if we are going to think of it—if this happens in real life, imagine how the mother would feel! A HOT YOUNG GUY APPEARING TO FLIRT YOU! Lucky, old woman! They had portrayed the idea in a funny way, and not in a yucky sexual way. Funny, thinking of an in denial, don’t want to be cougar! Haha.
Yea, I love this movie. Makes me want to watch it if you are stressed at work or at school and you just want to lighten up. It is really light and fun.
I give this movie a 2.95
