On the brink of a midlife crisis, 30-something Mike O'Donnell wishes he could have a "do-over." And that's exactly what he gets when he wakes up one morning to find he's 17 years old again. With his adult mind stuck inside the body of a teenager, Mike actually has the chance to reverse some decisions he wishes he'd never made. But maybe they weren't so bad after all.

Most 2000s comedies feel dated now, but 17Again is still so comfort-watch coded. Zac Efron in a basketball jersey was one of the reasons of my gay awakening.
