17 Again

Mike O'Donnell (Efron) is a star on the high school basketball team with a bright future in his grasp. Instead, he trades it to share his life with his girlfriend Scarlett (Miller) and the baby he just learned they are expecting. Almost 20 years later, Mike's (Perry) glory days are decidedly behind him--he's in a dead-end job, separated from his wife (Mann), and his own teenaged kids think he's a loser--but he's given another chance when he is miraculously transformed back to the age of 17. Unfortunately, Mike may look 17 again, but his thirtysomething outlook is totally uncool with the class of 2009. If the silly premise sounds familiar, it should, as both the original Freaky Friday as well as the Lindsey Lohan/Jamie Lee Curtis version are both superior to this, which says a lot. Might appeal to teen girls who simply want to stare at Efron.
