The plot of this movie is fairly predictable and unoriginal, but that doesn't mean you won't find some entertainment here. The movie follows a man who has had his marriage fall apart transform into a younger version of himself where he rediscovers his love for his wife while getting closer to his kids (perhaps a little too close). Zac Efron does a good job playing a 40 year old in the body of a teenager. Although there is absolutely no way Efron could possibly grow up to look like that schlub Matthew Perry, give me a break. There are quite a few parts to this movie that feel very weird in hindsight. I don't need the scenes where the daughter wants to bone her dad. I also don't need the douchebag bully character to mention to Zac Efron that his daughter doesn't put out. Oh, thank God, I can finally rest easy knowing that Michelle Trachtenberg's character in this movie is a virgin. Also, I don't care how attractive you are, if you are a teenager who loudly advocates for abstinence during health class to all your peers, you just commit social suicide.
