Just funny enough to recommend, although other than some incestuous father-daughter sexual tension, there’s nothing particularly novel or memorable about this cliché-ridden variation on the time-travel comedy theme.

Remember the late ’80s? Back when there was a glut of movies about middle-aged people suddenly becoming young again? A simpler time when Vice Versa, Like Father, Like Son, and 18 Again! all played in theaters? Well the main character in Burr Steers’ 17 Again sure does, and he really wants to go back to it.
