"17 Again" Doesn't Exactly Rewrite History

"17 Again" Doesn't Exactly Rewrite History...Continued from page 2

Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer

  • Drugs/Alcohol:  Social drinking depicted, including underage drinking at a party. Plus, there’s also a scene where Scarlett is inebriated and ends up hitting on the younger Mike, who is technically her husband.
  • Language/Profanity:  Occasional profanity including a couple of instances where the Lord’s name is exclaimed.
  • Sex/Nudity:  Teen pregnancy subject matter as the younger Mike's high school girlfriend informs him that she is pregnant. The older Mike works at an advertising firm that promotes Viagra-esque products. There’s also plenty of sex talk among the teens, including several girls who repeatedly hit on the younger Mike and brazenly claim to “be easy.” There’s also a scene in a high school sex ed class where the students are supposed to learn the proper way of using condoms, until the younger Mike, in full-on father mode, ultimately persuades the class not to have sex until you find someone you love—preferably when they’re married. After that, the sex conversation ceases, with several students ultimately praising Mike’s abstinence plea.
  • Violence:  Most is of a comedic nature, although there’s a couple of fight scenes between the younger Mike and the school bully.
