Why this movie has two titles, I have no idea. Although personally, I would stick to "Try Seventeen" since it stems from the best, most memorable line of the movie.
"Try Seventeen" focuses on seventeen-year-old Jones (Elijah Wood) who tries to start his own life away from his mother, with hopes of finding the father he doesn't really have memories of. His infatuation with finding his father is so great that he constantly types him letters and keeps them in a trunk that he brings with him wherever he goes.
He settles down in an apartment, where two beautiful ladies, a blooming actress and a frustrated photographer find themselves falling for the weird, new boy-next-door and Jones' world no longer revolves around the fantasy world that he writes about to his dad, but around the real world, the world he has been refusing to actually live in, the world that he has been running away from all of his life.
"Try Seventeen" is a witty coming-of-age movie like no other. Although it may be hard to fall in love with the movie the first time you watch it because of its quirky antics and the strange things that Jones dreams up, it does get better.
If it failed to get you the first time, give it a second chance. You will no longer be disappointed.
