Burbank, CA, July 28, 2009 – What would you do if you got a second shot at life? Find out
when 17 Again arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on August 11th from Warner Home Video. Zac
Efron and Matthew Perry star in this laugh-out-loud comedy that follows one man on his
journey to recapture best years of his life.
Class of 1989, Mike O'Donnell (Zac Efron) is a star on the high school basketball court with
a bright future in his grasp. But instead, he decides to take a different path to share his life
with his girlfriend Scarlet and the baby he just learned they are expecting. Now, 20 years
later, Mike's (Matthew Perry) glory days are behind him. His marriage to Scarlet (Leslie
Mann) has fallen apart and he has been reduced to crashing with his high school nerd-turned-
techno-billionaire best friend Ned (Thomas Lennon). But Mike is given another chance
when he is miraculously transformed back to the age of 17. Unfortunately, Mike may look 17
again, but his thirtysomething outlook is totally uncool among the class of 2009.
From Director, Burr Steers (TV’s Big Love, TV’s Weeds) 17 Again stars Zac Efron (High
School Musical films, Hairspray), Leslie Mann (Knocked Up, The 40 Year Old Virgin),
Thomas Lennon (I Love You, Man, Hancock, TV’s Reno 911!), Michelle Trachtenberg (TV’s
Gossip Girl, Harriet the Spy) and Golden Globe nominee Matthew Perry (TV’s Friends,
TV’s Studio City on the Sunset Strip, The Whole Nine Yards).
17 Again will be available on Blu-ray Combo Pack for $35.99 and on single disc DVD for
$28.98. The Combo Pack includes Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Copy of the movie.

SYNOPSIS
What would you do if you got a second shot at life?
Class of 1989, Mike O'Donnell (Zac Efron) is a star on the high school basketball court with
a college scout in the stands and a bright future in his grasp. But instead, he decides to throw
it all away to share his life with his girlfriend Scarlet and the baby he just learned they are
expecting.
Almost 20 years later, Mike's (Matthew Perry) glory days are decidedly behind him. His
marriage to Scarlet (Leslie Mann) has fallen apart, he has been passed over for a promotion
at work, his teenage kids think he is a loser, and he has been reduced to crashing with his
high school nerd-turned-techno-billionaire best friend Ned (Thomas Lennon).
But Mike is given another chance when he is miraculously transformed back to the age of 17.
Unfortunately, Mike may look 17 again, but his thirtysomething outlook is totally uncool
among the class of 2009.
And in trying to recapture his best years, Mike could lose the best things that ever happened
to him.
