[@glenngriffon8032]

About 12-13 years ago I got into a talk with a girl on FB who was trying to organize a high school reunion and tracked me down to see if I'd attend. She basically asked me that same question and my response was "what friends? I only had one real friend in school and I still talk to them daily". She still persisted til i informed her that i left our hometown behind almost immediately after graduating.

[@Afreshio]

Same. It was hell for me. Felt so isolated through the whole high school shit experience, even though I had some "friends". After my granpa (I lived and was raised in his house, together with my mom and her siblings; no dad in the picture) died in 2007 which was my senior year well I couldn't fake anything anymore, I was obviously depressed and down. People noticed but as I live in a backward conservative country mental health (even more back then) wasn't something people discussed back then. It wasn't even a term. No awareness whatsoever. I'm problably on various spectrum: autism, ocd and adhd. Who knows what else. So imagine highschool with those conditions, no awareness, no diagnosis so I was unaware of my own conditions and limitations. HELL. Sleeping was always a problem, I abhorred getting out of bed and prepping myself for highschool. I didn't know what day would be MY day. That is, the day I was gonan be relentlessly bullied. thankfully it wasn't something that happened on a daily basis. There were smaller, skinnier dudes (something difficult as I was really skinny, and I only gained heigh and became like 5'10 AFTER graduating so a typical late bloomer). Those sleepless nights moving in my bed, my stomach full of anxiety, my body somatising the abuse, feeling of inadequacy and confusion and giving my pain, stress, anxiety, phobias, depression, insomnia... I've been since those times bad cases of social phobia, selective mutism, bad cases of anxiety, like actual disorders because that's the only way to explain it. And when something happens that becomes stressfull my body reacts badly to it. It doesn't help I developed a "avoidant" style of attatchment (I know this is pop sciency but it makes sense in my case) since my early childhood due to my single early 20s inmature mom being so out of her mind sometimes. So it was obvious I was gonna graduate and never look back. And so I did. I think it's normal between us guys that were on the short of end the stick during those years. So I know it's pretty common for bullied teenagers to develop disorders and PTSD from those events well into adulthood or forever, I really know. But on the other and we will never peak in highshool. We have hope in that regard. Also, I don't know about you but I also store some deep seated and cold anger towards abusive/shitty people.

Kids having a crush on their teenage parents or future children is a weird but common trope. Like Back to the Future.

[@gracekim25]

At least they acknowledge it feels weird even without knowing Marty is from the future 😅

[@DukeSkylocker]

Back to the Future at least made sense though. Lorraine had no idea what her son would look like, so there was no way Marty could have reminded her of someone who wasn't even born yet. With 17 Again, it's strange that at no point did Mike's daughter feel weirded out by trying to make out with someone who looked and acted so much like her father (I mean, she had to have memories of her father when she was young and he looked a lot closer to what he did in high school. Not to mention that while your looks may change from 17 to 37 your voice doesn't since you've already hit puberty, so every time Mike spoke he would have immediately reminded her of her father).

[@janehargrove3651]

if I'm being completely honest my parents were extremely attractive when they were my age (and still are) ofc knowing that they're my parents it's disgusting to think about such a scenario, but if it was just some random people looking like that... I think I would find them attractive I mean my dad had girls lining up at his door, my mum had many guys (and at least one girl) crushing on her I don't think I would be any different if they weren't my parents and were just some kids at my school

He does have a throwaway line that explains that he got rich by selling some nondescript softwares.

[@Dovah_Slayer]

You think he is like some tech guru

[@ginat.8064]

Ned must be a millionaire or something considering the cars he drives and his house alongside the nerd stuff you mentioned.

I was actually in high school when this came out and I remember thinking “why would anyone wanna go back to high school “? Anyway I’m almost 32 and I still think that. I know everyone had a different high school experience. But I’m convinced that most people don’t remember it as well as they think they do. Seriously I always hear people talk about how they miss their friends and they’re all active and stuff like that. But I never hear people talk about how much they miss getting yelled at by teachers or in my case, having a ableist teachers because I was in special ed. Or I also hear people talk about how they miss school bullies and how the teachers never did anything about it. that being said, I actually did really enjoy this movie when it came out. Because I had a massive crush on Zac Efron at the time.

I just realized the music cover for your ad is from the game Shining Force 2. That's awesome!

[@marissathebooknerd]

"You look just like my husband" 😂 I love Leslie she's the best part of this movie

[@bae409]

At this stage... Watching Alex myers has become tradition

[@krumelmonster1278]

You did in fact made my day a little bit better. Thank you for that ❤

[@lavendersugar]

“Drake is that you” 😂

[@fullhousefrek]

The scene towards the end where he reads the letter in court is so good and powerful to watch it's one of the best scenes in the movie

[@evanflorance4532]

And the final scene where he turns back into Matthew Perry. Corny as heck but I still love it hahaha

[@frenchfryguy8657]

They should make a sequel called “17 again… again”

[@JDNboy12]

eventually he just lives forever, twirlling that basketball on his finger for generations

[@ThatCoalSoul]

Beetlejuice 2 is about to drop...

[@chlochlo8207]

I thought about that too once i thought I was the only one 😂

[@ninjanibba4259]

No

[@bndctcmbrbtch9557]

Oh man, they made the korean version of this but in a series set up. They called it 18 again. Which is waaaaaaaaaay better than this one. Definitely a tearjerker. Got to see their hardship as a young parents and what leading them to divorce. And plus... no weird daughter hitting on her dad. The sister also stand up for the brother bully. Everyone has amazing character arc there. The actor and actress acting is just *cheff kiss*

[@notamoth]

love all the new animations alex! ur style is very inspiring to me!!

[@cyrana8716]

I'm french. This movie is about our current president Macron and his wife. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

[@scholasticbookfair.]

"Wife"

[@noctambule5726]

What's the deal if your first lady is transgender? France doesn't like them?

[@DitaR-zh6ko]

I honestly wish I had Zac Efron's hair, and I'm a teenage girl

[@sunnybears77]

true

[@jojo-xh5ik]

he had nice hair in the beginning of the movie and then he had to get the bieber bangs lol

[@TheActionJackson]

@@jojo-xh5ikit was just a wig though

[@Dovah_Slayer]

Other than that Bieber hair I agree

[@malgron]

OMg, I love your channel Alex!

[@Da6moose6]

I just recently rewatched flubber as an adult and man. That movie is wild. Would love to see you review that one.

[@eggie1978]

Matthew Perry was so miscast in this movie. They should've hired Rob Lowe. No one would believe Zac Efron grew up to look like Matthew Perry.

[@jojo-xh5ik]

I can totally see it, good choice

[@aurghh]

Trueee

[@dasadman]

Imagine trying to be "believable" when the concept of the film is about de-aging back to your teenage self overnight

[@trinaq]

While I like this movie, I never thought that Zac Efron and Matthew Perry looked like they could be the same person. Perhaps John Stamos, AKA Uncle Jesse, would have been better as an older Zac.

[@Werewolf.with.Internet.Access]

No offense to the dead, but I assumed that guys life went ROUGH if he went from looking like Zack Efron to…not Zack Efron

[@plumdutchess]

Can definitely see that. If you Google John Stamos young pictures.

[@rachelrasmussen1101]

I think the point was he WASN'T hot at 37.

[@shaneilellis9832]

He looks like Kevin zegers

[@plumdutchess]

@@rachelrasmussen1101 Eh, no it wasn't. The point of the movie was he had to give up his dream when his wife got pregnant. And realising his life wasn't bad. There's nothing in that movie that shows he was supposed to be "unattractive".

[@clara2961]

i loved this video :) the animation, sounds and jokes were on point !!

[@Nick-4K]

I rewatched this recently. Its pretty good.

Just made the loudest laugh at my life hearing you describe 2000s fantasy teen dramas as "isekai" 😂

I love when you include that "This Family stinks! Nobody understands me!" line. I get a good chuckle from it every time.

[@Ayedaay]

"Drake, is that you?" 🤣🤣💀

[@MichaelSmith-ij2ut]

As someone who's been 17 ever since he turned 34, this movie always appealed to me

[@tahliaknipe7806]

The PlayStation 1 sound sent me🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m having a whole coughing fit in a room full of sleeping toddlers🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@petravanessa]

Man, your videos just keep getting better!

[@dhyanadesai6622]

I forgot that Chad Dillon cooper was in this movie

[@bouchrafakher]

Fun fact: sterling knight auditioned for the role of troy bolton, and since then was considered as a successor or a rival to zack. Even on sonny with a chance they made his character have beef with zack efron the actor so it is funny seeing them together in one movie as father and son (disney lore is my roman empire)

[@dhyanadesai6622]

@@bouchrafakher I live for this type of lore so thank you! 😂 I don’t think I’ve heard Sterling sing (other than the chad chad chaddy chad chad song) and I can’t remember if he sang in star struck or not so I don’t know what he’d be like in the HSM movies (I know Zac did dubbing in the first one so they could have done that too)

[@bouchrafakher]

@@dhyanadesai6622 aww thank you, so to answer your confusion i’ll give you more Disney lore😂. Sterling knight did not sing in his movie starstruck maybe just the opening line of one of the songs. In fact the person singing in that movie was Drew Seely: THE SAME GUY THAT SANG INSTEAD OF ZACK EFRON IN HSM1. So there you go more connection between them

[@dhyanadesai6622]

@@bouchrafakher oh my dayyys! Drew is the true star of Disney 😭 thanks for all the facts!

[@NJGuy1973]

Anyone see "18 Again" which came out in 1988? It starred then-92-year-old George Burns who switches bodies with his teen grandson.

[@jojo-xh5ik]

remember there's also 13 going on 30 from 2004

[@queencleopatra007]

There was also another "17 Again" movie that came out in 2000 starring the Mowry twins from Sister Sister, where the grandparents get turned back into teenagers.

[@user-cx4ni5xi3e]

I think there was a K-DRAMA inspired by this called 18 Again

[@markashinhust9552]

"Drake is that you" got me

[@gothnerd887]

6:22 according to Norse Mythology any mysterious old man with one eye is probably Odin (although if everyone can tell it's him cuz he's missing an eye he'll probably get the dwarves/dark elves to craft him a new one)

[@ECKohns]

There’s another movie called Seventeen Again which was a Showtime Original movie which started Tia, Tamara and Taj Mowlry. Where Tia and Taj are brother and sister and their grandparents turn into teenagers. And the grandma turns into Tamara Mowlry. Disney Channel would rerun the show along with the Mowlry family’s old sitcoms Sister Sister and Smart Guy. It cause a lot of young people to think that those shows and that movie were Disney Channel originals. They were not.

[@CrazyMazapan]

There was an even older movie or an episode of some Disney show called Young Again with Keanu Reeves (1986). His character was called Michael Riley. Also starring Linday Wagner and Robert Urich as the older Mike. Remakes of remakes

[@TheShortCon]

The old PlayStation music on the 'wat' frame transported me back to being a kid for a full minute, kind of like this movie.

[@TURBOMIKEIFY]

Absolutely love this movie!!!! That food scene really sat with teenage me.
