You may think that 6/10 is a bit low for an O.K movie, but it's so just O.K. Nothing really rises above what the regular formula for this type of movie is, mainly with Disney Movies for sure. To make the movie good, you need an X-Factor or X-Factor moment, something to set it apart from the other movies of this type. Like in Toy Story it's all the background and stunning visuals and great acting. In this, it's just that same, overused formula. The plot is that the Grandparents of a family are coming over for a while. Also the young boy seen on the cover of the movie is a scientist capable of making things 45 years of biological experiments couldn't even derive. Oh yeah the girl on the cover as well? She's the sister, and with her is her grandma, who is has now turned back to 17 years old, but more on that later. So the sister has boy problems and... well you know how it goes. So the kid is making something, probably deadly... well it gets knocked over into soap, the grandparents use the soap and now they're 17 again. The daughter is really just a plot device more then a character, as the grandma and boy are much, much more important to the story. The grandma has to go to the girl's school, and you know these famous twins. They look exactly alike so everyone thinks that the grandma is actually her. Never seen that before. So, it's pretty much all filler until the boy get the right combination of most likely deadly chemicals and pours that into a pool that the grandparents jump into and they are turned back into elders. I was expecting it to say, "And they all lived happily ever after." in that weird Roman Old Times writing. Although it not necessarily s good movie, that filler part is actually pretty amusing, and the acting isn't as bad as you'd think.In conclusion, to watch alone when you're bored, there are other choices, as for watching it with your family, it's tolerable for parents and good for kids.

I would love to give this movie a better rating, but unfortunately I can't due to the content in this film. I had this movie on my DVR from STARZ and it was supposed to be rated G. I am warning parents of very young children, there is content in this movie that is not of a preschool "G Rating" nature. There is a scene in the movie that takes place in a school classroom where the students are in SEX ED. and the teacher holds up a condom and says, "This is a condom." I don't know what happened after that cuz I ran up to the TV and turned it off for a little bit for the scene to pass. I am SOOOO SURPRISED that no one else commented on this. If this scene would not have been in the movie, I would have given it a higher rating (like an 8.) Also, I can swear I heard the grandfather, as a young man, say the D word - also not appropriate for a G rated movie. Hope this review helps any parents out there who are just as concerned with what their young children are watching!

This movie rocks! It is a good movie! If you like sister sister then you will love this movie! It is about a grandma and grandpa who come to watch over the kids while the parents go away to visit their friend who just had a baby. The grandparents don't get along and fight. Willie does an experiment and aciddenlty leaves the soap that he worked on on the grandparents bathroom. The next morning they wake up to find they have turned seventeen. So the grandma goes to school with Sydney and the grandpa makes some new friends. It has a good message in it. Everyone does a great job in this film and it is not just a kids movie! Give this movie a chance! You will be surprised!

Seventeen Again is a really good, wholesome, and fun movie that the whole family can watch. I really like Tia and Tamera Mowry. I wish they would do more movies. The only thing that annoys me is that the Soundtrack for Seventeen Again does not seem to be available on CD anywhere. This is really a shame because the music in the movie is quite good!!
