17 Again

[HatDaddy]

No, I'm not going to see it.
What I can't understand is how many times are they going to remake a movie based on this same premise?
This has to be about the 4th or 5th one I can recall and I'm only 34.
Hollywood, get some original ideas or at least remake a decent film.

I liked the one with Kirk Cameron and Dudley Moore better.

Boy jumps forward in time.

Man goes back in time.

Girl jumps forward in time.

Woman goes back in time.

Repeat sequence once every five years.

What are some of the previous ones? Off the top of my head in the last 20 years or so:

Vice Versa - Judge Reinhold, Fred Savage
18 Again - George Burns
Like Father Like Son - Kirk Cameron, Dudley Moore
Freaky Friday - Lindsay Lohan, Jamie Lee Curtis

A little film called "Big" with some no-name in the lead role.

Ralph Macchio tried to play a high school kid when he was about 35; does that count?

The Kid - Bruce Willis

They've made a lot of these movies, but they haven't made one that's rated NC-17!

They're going to keep making them as the market for this sort of movie is always changing. This movie appeals to 12-17 year olds, and in 5 years, it'll target the next batch of 12-17 year olds. 12-17 year olds probably haven't seen the other movies mentioned in this thread, and if they have, they probably thought they were lame old movies.
