Product Description:

Amazon.com:
Elijah Wood has one of his first post-Frodo leading roles in this mild-mannered comedy (the title of which was Try Seventeen in its film festival showings). He's a 17-year-old college dropout who moves into a funky old apartment building and becomes intrigued by his wacky neighbors. Mandy Moore plays the self-absorbed actress across the hall, and Run Lola Run goddess Franka Potente is a cranky photographer. The movie has a few surprises (the casting seems to suggest a teenybopper romance for Wood and Moore, but not so fast), although the energy level rarely perks up and it's pretty thin on actual narrative happenings. Wood's tendency toward fantasy is an especially tired device. A furtive sense of humor, plus the big adoring closeups of the highly photogenic leading ladies, provides the low-key interest. Trivia: Elizabeth Perkins plays the hero's irresponsible mom; she was also Elijah Wood's mother in Avalon. --Robert Horton

Rating:  - Where's the plot?
I bought this film from my work, despite never having previously heard of it, and going purely by the blurb. It grabbed my attention for some reason, so I bought it.
Big mistake.
I'm shocked to read other reviews giving it the maximum amount of stars. Did we see a different film? Cos it's absolutely dire. There's absolutely no plot, it's just a series of disjointed scenes, making no sense, and just plodding along. Nothing could save this film, not even the actors. Franka ... Read More
Rating:  - Worth watching again, and again!
I cannot belive I used to think this was not worth watching! "Try Seventeen" (aka. "All I Want") is one of the best drama/romantic comedies I have seen.
Every time I see it again I discover something new. There is always something special, a little twist, a reaction-- Always something new to discover, and always some reaction that is played so well you barely notice it. Worth watching again, and again. And entertaining every time!
Rating:  - Uhhh...
Ok, I took my chances on buying this movie without seeing it first because I am an Elijah Wood fan and was interested to see him in a role that's not Frodo. He played off his awkward character quite well, but it was almost painful to watch because I was embarrassed for the kid. Actually, most of the characters were awkward. Maybe that was the intention, but there were some VERY strange moments that I didn't expect. I just expected more from the movie, and after watching it, it seemed empty. ... Read More
Rating: - Frodo finally gets some
This is a pretty poor romantic comedy/coming of age film, with all the conventions that you would expect: broken home, overly sensitive boy, wise older woman friend, rampant fantasies, etc etc. I really didn't find anything about it very interesting, with the exception of how his relationship with his mom evolves. But the silliness and frivolous ticks throughout the film never worked for me. All in all, I felt like it was a waste of time.
Not recommended.
Rating:  - Cool
I loved this movie. I really don't know why. I just saw it and all my friends thought it was stupid but I liked it. This was a movie about love that just kinda played with your mind. The end of the movie left a lot of questions to be asked but I like movies like that. All and all the story was good and the acting was ok (they could have gotten better actors but hey no movie is perfect.)
