Well, granted, I hadn't even heard about the 2015 movie "Suddenly Seventeen" (aka "28 Suì Wèi Chéngnián") from writer and directors Mo Zhang before now in 2020, when I was given the chance to sit down and watch the movie.
Needless to say that, of course I sat down to watch it, with it being a Chinese movie and all. After all, I have a big interest in Asian ciname.
Well, I managed to endure 42 minutes of pure torture that is known as "Suddenly Seventeen". Wow, talk about a pointless storyline, and one that is driven by equally pointless characters. I had absolutely no interest in anything that transpired on the screen; especially so as everything was so overly generic, predictable and unimaginative.
I am sure that the cast were adequate, but they were severely hindered by a lousy script and poorly written characters.
There are far better movies out there that deal with the same topic and storyline - that being someone traveling back to their youth, but being in their "older" body. And truth be told, "Suddenly Seventeen" is by no account or means worth the time, effort or money.
My rating of "Suddenly Seventeen" is a meager two out of ten stars, and that is solely because of the adequate production value and editing that was present in the movie. This was a massive swing and a miss from writer and director Mo Zhang in terms of entertaining or enthralling me.
