An Amazon Princess Post
17 Again Mini Review
The Amazon Princess officially has a crush on Zac Efron after watching 17 Again (now out on DVD). At first I was concerned at the thought of him being 17 but I've since discovered that as with most American actors he is in fact almost 22 but playing a younger role.
Yay crush is blooming!
Anyway, despite the eye candy I can report that this film is one of the more successful body swapping/ destiny altering movies of the bunch and is genuinely heartwarming as well as amusing.
Mike (Matthew Perry) gave up his dream of basketball stardom for family life at a young age with his high school sweetheart, but somewhere along the way he loses sight of what's important. He's then transformed into his 17 year old self (when a mysterious school janitor intervenes) and enrols at his old high school which incidentally is where his two children now attend. Funny encounters ensue as he tries to learn how to be a better father to his teenagers and find his way again.
Very enjoyable (Ned is a funny character) and did I mention Zac Efron is a hottie!
8/10
Bridget Jones 3 On Its Way?
I hear that a 3rd installment of Bridget Jones is on the cards but there was an initial rumour that Renee Zellwegger wouldn't play the main role this time around. Well I say why bother making another film if that was the case. Yes I will admit that I along with many others were sceptical when she was first cast as the British singleton looking for mister right. However she has proved that she is the perfect candidate for the job and anyone else would pale in comparison, so there! I've since found out from Variety that she is set to reprise her role and that she's currently piling on the pounds as we speak!
Hopefully Colin Firth and Hugh Grant will reprise their roles as Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleever "both a bit of a dish" and we will see them in yet another girly punch up, utterly brilliant!
