Would you want to be "17 Again"?

This movie has been getting so much pre-release press. No matter how bad it is, it's going to make a load of money this coming weekeend when it's finally comes to your local theater. Sure this is not Academy Award material, but the premise leaves something to think about. What if you were "17 Again". Would you even want to be 17 again? How would you handle being that age knowing what you know. Would you make any different life choices?

Knowing what I now know, it would be fun. I wouldn't waste any time doing my hair. It would be as close to bald as possible.

Knowing what I know now, it wouldn't be fun. Why would anyone want to be 17 again.

With age comes experience and wisdom.

I wouldn't mind being 17 again, but only if I could return to my current age.

I wouldn't give up my wisdom and experience for another romp through puberty.

I wouldn't mind going back in time. Had a blast my senior year.

Reminds me of this Kenny Chesney tune.

This story line has been recycled one too many times. It was even part of the Family Guy episode when death grants Peter's wish of going back in time to be 18 again just for one night. As always Peter messes things up and when he returns to the present he finds that Glenn Quagmire is married to his wife and is the father of his kids and that he's married to Molly Ringwald.

I'd switch age with my nephew Austin in a heartbeat. Austin can have my experience and wisdom. I'll take the fun he's having with no responsibilities.

Uncle Tony, you can have my carefree fun and I'll gladly take your money.

The film was #1 at the box office. Why? Because the general demographic of the American movie goer is 17.
Would I want to be 17 again? Nah!

Who in their right mind would you really want to relive your senior year in high school? Not me.
