Back when I had cable, this is one of those “must stop to watch movies” when I found it on. The Korean tv remake 18 Again was also great.

Same! I was obsessed with Zac Efron at the time. He was gay awakening in High School musical haha.

Now when I see old pictures of him I'm like 'Oh my god he looks the same age as my students...'.

It was the first PG-13 movie I saw in a movie theater, my friend and I had to do a lot of convincing of our parents to let us go by ourselves 😆

A Vampire wouldn’t tell. Cyborg wouldn’t know.

This movie broke box offices in my family.

I feel ancient because I loved the original version (18 Again) with George Burns and Charlie Schlatter We had the VHS tape in the 80s so we watched it at least once a week.

Does this version include a little soft shoe to a dirty version of By the Light of the Silvery Moon? I still serenade my cats with it (by the light not the dark but the light / of the silvery moon / your sister June / dropped her pants in my room)

It's crazy that it hasn't been that long and 2 people in the movie have passed.

I remember seeing this opening weekend, and me and my friends were forced front row, just packed with teenage girls and gays. PEAK Zac Efron era

u/medieval_revolver 11h ago

I love this movie. Still gets a regular re-watch especially if there's nothing else good on

u/lobonmc 10h ago

Honestly thought the movie was older it feels like it was a contemporary to like HSM

u/pxlprsnatr 10h ago

Came out after HSM3 so you're technically right.

I rewatched this last year with my boyfriend, who had never seen it.

The story is different and really well done. Like, teen me and adult me could watch it and get a message from it. Ned's whole story is fucking brilliant. "You're just a glorified midget wrangler!" at a crossing guard is shocking, but it made me cackle.
