Seventeen again.

On the plane going to Manila, they were showing Seventeen Again on board. Mathew Perry's character woke up being seventeen again after a fall from the bridge and into the water, when he tried to save the school custodian/janitor. He ended up in the basketball team just like some twenty years ago.

But now, as a wizened seventeen year old, he's tough with the school bullies and jocks, and never speechless with the lady of his desire - unlike a real seventeen year old of the 80's or even of today.

Think back to when you were seventeen. Were you a jerk? Speechless around the big crush? Not sure if she'd respond? She looks great but you don't know how to break the ice? Too many friends jockeying around the girl?

Or during a high school reunion, upon seeing your old flame which never ignited, do you freeze because you're not sure if this exciting lady in front of you is really her?

Yeah. Admit it, you were a total jerk. Now, suffer.
