Seventeen Again!

 Hey Everyone, I hope you all are doing well!

 I have decided to write about one of my favorite movies called Seventeen Again Starring Zac Efron, Matthew Perry, Leslie Mann, Michelle Trachtenburg,  Thomas Lennon and Sterling Knight.

The movie starts off with a young man named Mike O' Donell who is seventeen years old and the year is 1989 and he finds out his girlfriend Scarlett Porter is pregnant.

She tells him about her pregnancy moment before the championship basketball game and it is his likely scholarship game.

Mike plays the first few moment of his basketball game and then leaves the game to go to Scarlett and leaves his hopes of going to college and eventually having a professional basketball career.

It is now Twenty years later Mike finds his life stagnant and boring, Scarlett has filed for divorce he moves in with his best friend Ned Gold who went to high school with him.

 He is wealthy and a geek he is also unhappy, We now go back to Mike who wanted a promotion at work and thinks that he deserved someone else has the promotion.

 Mike expresses his frustration to his boss about how he thinks he deserves the promotion he ends up getting fired from his job, and his daughter Maggie who is 18 years and his son Alex who is 16 years old and both in high school want nothing to do with their dad.

 Mike goes to back to his old school and visits the memorabilia case and sees all his trophies and sees his senior team high school photo and the school Janitor walks by hum and he vents about his life to him saying he wishes he had a do-over, later in the evening Mike comes across the janitor who is on a bridge and falls into the water.

Mike runs over to the bridge to find him and get him out, Mike ends up falling in the water himself and comes out as a seventeen year old young man.

 Mike goes back to Ned's house and he can't believe that Mike is 17 years oldMike tells him different things to prove he is who he says he is and ned finally believes him and then he theorizes that his magical transformation was caused by a spirit guide to help set him back on the right path he enrolls in high school posing as Ned's son he goes by the name Mark Gold.

 He plans to go to college on a basketball scholarship Mike later befriends his son Alex who comes to realize his son Is being bullied, and he comes to know his daughter Maggie has a boyfriend named Stan who torments Alex and doesn't respect her.

Mike makes it his mission to help his kids through the kids he spends time with scarlet who to her marks a resemblance to her husband Mike in High School and marks as an odd coincidence.

Mark is trying to fix his relationship with Scarlett, he does different garden projects around the house that he didn't do when he was an adult.

 Mike does a few things with his kids which you will see when you watch the movie . It is now time for the court hearing to finalize the divorce between Mike and Scarlett, Mike makes one last attempt as Mark to win Scarlett back, he reads a supposed letter from Mike.

Scarlett is surprised by what Mike/Mark reads in the letter and what she hears him say, Mike then leaves the courtroom and Scarlett decides to hold off on the divorce for a month.

She then is shocked to discover the "letter" he read was actually directions to the courtroom frustrated that he couldn't save his marriage, Mike decides once again to pursue a scholarship and move on with his new life, and he is now at his basketball game and Scarlett Is having flashbacks and realizes Mike's true identity, her estranged husband Mike, she runs away and mike leaves the game to chase her down like he did in 1989 and this also leaves his chance at becoming a basketball star. 

You will have to see the movie to find out what happens next, I can tell you it is a very happy ending for everyone involved in this story and it will leave you with a smile on your face.

I have decided to write about this movie because It is one of my favorite movies and reminds me of my teenage years when I was seventeen years old.

My teenage years were very fun and exciting and ones I will always cherish, In my teenage years My Senior Year of High School was my most favorite because That was the year when I stepped out and was courageous to do something to always cherish and have a special memory that I can think of when I think of my senior year in High School.

 I sang in front of an Audience I sang Man in the Mirror by Micheal Jackson everyone clapped along with the song and happy smiles on their faces the whole song... Chorus was my favorite subject in high school, I have always enjoyed singing. It brings a lot of joy to my Heart! 

I also went to college in my teenage years which is years I will always cherish and keep in my heart forever.

 Teenage years are something to cherish and hold dear to your heart, and hold on to every moment they go by quick before you know it your not in your teenage years anymore you are now in your young adult years and navigating life in those years one of my favorite moments in my teenage years is when I gained  a big sister and mentor that is something I will always hold dear and cherish.  

She brings so much joy and happiness to my life, and is very special to me, there are so many things that I could say about her the one thing I will say is that she's kind, loving, sweet and has a heart of gold.

One of my favorite scenes from the movie is when Mike is trying to convince Ned that he is who he says he is he just looks different at the moment.

I also like when Mike reads the note in the courtroom to Scarlett that is a really emotional and touching scene, you can really feel Mike's heart and spirit coming through the letter when he reads it to the courtroom.

I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to watch a good moving happy film!
