在这部十七岁初体验剧情/喜剧/爱情片中,pp由于《魔戒》在全国大行其道，伊力亚·伍德的面孔广为人所认识，片商立即打其主意，邀请他拍摄青春喜剧《TrypSeventeen》。
pp戏中他饰演一名十七岁就读大学的学生，假扮成比自己真实年龄较大的男生，希望提早过成人生活，却发现自己从学生公寓邻居那边学得比课堂上还多，包括谈了一场刻骨铭心的三角恋爱，对象分別是一名力争上游的女演员(曼蒂摩兒)，以及一名比他年纪大很多的摄影师(法兰克波丹特)，
很典型的青春故事。
After 17-year-old misfit Jones Dillon (Wood) drops out of college on his first day, he moves into an old apartment building where he soon becomes entangled in the lives of his kooky new neighbors, including a temperamental photographer (Potente) and a self-absorbed aspiring actress (Moore). When he's not busy flirting with the ladies or learning to live on his own, would-be writer Jones divides his time between fending off queries from his alcoholic mother (Perkins), penning letters to an absentee father, and indulging in an overactive fantasy life. An auto accident forces a reality check, however, nudging Jones to grow up & decide what he really wants.
还不错的电影。女主像老徐，正太所欲也。
