Movie Review: 17 Again.  

Posted by: Rowena in , ,


From Yahoo! Movies:

Starring: Zac Efron,
Rating: PG-13, for language, some sexual material and teenage partying
Grade: C

What would you do if you got a second shot at life? Class of 1989, Mike O'Donnell is a star on his high school basketball court with a college scout in the stands and a bright future in his grasp. But instead, he decides to throw it all away to share his life with his girlfriend Scarlett and the baby he just learned they are expecting. Almost 20 years later, Mike's glory days are decidedly behind him. His marriage to Scarlett has fallen apart, he has been passed over for a promotion at work, his teenage kids think he is a loser, and he has been reduced to crashing with his high school nerd-turned-techno-billionaire best friend Ned. But Mike is 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 in the class of 2009. And in trying to recapture his best years, Mike could lose the best things that ever happened to him.

I saw this movie over the weekend and I'll be honest. The only reason I wanted to watch this movie in the first place is because I love me some Zac Efron. He's the one youngster that I would totally teach a few things to...just sayin'. HA!

Anyway, I thought this movie was going to be better than it actually was. It was cute and fun but it didn't have that extra umph to make it a great movie! It was pure cheese but I still watched the entire thing. I thought it was funny in parts (Ned was hilarious) and when Zac cut his hair and dressed like the teenagers dress nowadays, he was a total stud but even Zac's cuteness couldn't make this movie that OMGOSH you need to see this movie good. It was just okay.

Yeah, that's all I have to say about this movie.

Movie Review: High School Musical 3  

Posted by: Rowena in , , ,


Starring: Zac Efron, Vanessa Anne Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, Lucas Grabeel, Monique Coleman.
Rating: PG
Grade: B+
High school seniors Troy and Gabriella are facing the prospect of being separated from one another as they head off in different directions to college. Joined by the rest of the Wildcats, they stage an elaborate spring musical reflecting their experiences, hopes and fears about their future.

This past weekend, my daughter and I had a party that we had to go to. If you read my personal blog, CoFFee HouSe BanTeR! then you'll know who's party I went to. It's Hottie Guy from my work. His son just turned 3 and he had a birthday party for him and we were invited. Now normally, I wouldn't mix and mingle with people from work, OUTSIDE of work if you're in my immediate circle of friends from work but I made an exception for Hottie Guy because 1)he's HOT and 2)he's kinda sorta dating my friend from work and I went to support her.

Now because my friend knew that me and my other friend from work didn't want to go to the party because 1) it was all the way out in the boondocks and 2) we were uncomfortable since we hardly talk to him at work and we're supposed to hang out with this guy and all of his family when we don't really have to?  Sharon (thats my friend who we went for) decided to treat me and Nikol and our kids to a movie, her treat.

The first movie that popped into my head that I wanted to see?


I'm telling you, if you have young kids then odds are they already love the High School Musical movies and this is another great movie for them to enjoy. I enjoyed the heck out of this movie and danced my way to the car after the movie was done. This is a feel good movie and I'll admit that I got a little teary eyed toward the end because this movie marks the end of the road for the characters that we've come to know and love throughout all three of these movies.

It was cute, I would totally spend the $10 to watch this movie again in the theaters and Brenna totally wants to see it again, so it's a sure winner for us. But be warned, there is cheese aplenty in this movie but ask me if I cared.

I didn't, I ate it all up!

I heart Troy Bolton and if I was 20 years younger, I'd totally want to marry him too! And Vanessa Anne Hudgens is such a pretty girl too.

I totally recommend this movie!
