17 Again
I wish I could say that I was feeling like I’m 17 again, but I’m not. I’m feeling like the 53-year-old woman that I am – which isn’t a bad thing, it’s just not 17, and I suppose I should be happy about that. 17-year-olds are pretty damned stupid but think they know everything… they’re so wordly.
I think this movie is somewhat old, but it was on my ziplist for a while and arrived on Friday. It’s about a guy (Chandler from Friends – what’s his real name anyway?) who is in the midst of getting a divorce. That marriage was fairly unhappy, in part because he’s always complaining that his life was nothing due to his wife (who got pregnant at 17 and he married her instead of becoming the big basketball star that he was going to be).
For some reason, when Chandler revisits his old high school to look at pictures of his glory days, the janitor has some magical powers that turn Chandler into the 17-year-old Zack Effron (teen sex symbol – little too pretty for that in my eyes if I were a teen).
So the movie’s about him going back to school, playing basketball again, hanging out with his estranged kids (who don’t know it’s him) to find out what they’re really like and becoming the dad and the loving husband he had never been.
It was a cute movie. My daughter (16 years old) watched it too, even though she’d seen it a bunch of times. It wasn’t a complete waste of time and was a nice ‘family’ kinda film provided your kids aren’t 5 or 6.

is the new 30. I want the world to close their mouths when they’re eating or chewing gum. If they don’t, I want to elbow them in the face.
