17 Again, starring Perry alongside Zac Efron and Leslie Mann, was released in 2009.
The loss of actor Matthew Perry was a staggering blow to just about every single one of us. Perry is one of those actors who, at any given moment, could magically become part of our lives, especially if we happen to stumble on a rerun of his mega-hit show Friends. Throughout his career, Perry used that fame to do all sorts of good and everyone has their own memories of his work.
The relatability and vulnerability that Perry brings to Mike are what truly elevates 17 Again. Now, to be fair, he’s not in it that much. The film is more than anything an Efron vehicle because he’s playing Mike for the majority of the movie, and it was 2009 so Hollywood assumed a movie with Zac Efron playing basketball in high school was a sure thing. But Perry’s scenes at the beginning, and especially end, of the movie are simultaneously heartbreaking and uplifting.
