17 Again really does look like the perfect family movie for anyone who has short-term memory loss and can’t remember Big.

Or Vice Versa. Or Freaky Friday. Or any film which shares a basic plot function with 17 Again. But it must be doing something right, because 17 Again is the top movie at the weekend box office.

Zac Efron as the weekend box office number one, Miley Cyrus as number four. Way to make everyone feel old, Hollywood. Honestly, they may as well have renamed 17 Again as Your Time On Earth Is Finite And Soon All Will Be Dust, Ashes And Dust.

We can’t quite work out what the weirdest thing about 17 Again being the weekend box office number one is. Is it the fact that Zac Efron is possibly the biggest moviestar in the world? Or is it the fact that Matthew Perry has had a part in a post-Friends project that’s been in some way successful? No, it’s definitely the second one. It makes us feel odd just thinking about it. Ugh. Here’s the US weekend box office top five…

1 – 17 Again (Where Zac Efron plays an adult who becomes 17 again and is cool and handsome, unlike the permanently-masturbating, acne-faced, painfully inept disappointment to his parents that you’d be if the same thing ever happened to you) $24,065,000

2 – State Of Play (A film where the Gladiator from Gladiator and the Queen from The Queen battle against Daredevil from Daredevil in a much, much more mundane way than this sentence would make you think) $14,099,000

3 - Monsters Vs Aliens (Sadly not the film where child sex offenders and illegal immigrants are locked in a cage and have to compete in various Running Man-style battles to the death. Better luck next time, Daily Mail) $12,900,000

4 – Hannah Montana: The Movie (Look at the middle three figures of the weekend box office total for this movie. Proof that Miley Cyrus is the devil? Yes. Yes, it is obviously proof that Miley Cyrus is the devil) $12,666,000

5 – Fast And Furious (So you people still want to go and see Vin Diesel driving a car around, but you don’t want to see Jason Statham electrocute his tongue with a set of jumpleads? You people. You people are weird) $12,290,000
