https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/17again_1.jpg

Your grandma looks like your sister. Literally.

Seventeen Once again (NOT to exist confused with the 2009 film starring Zac Efron) is a classic "Freaky Friday" Flip picture starring Tia and Tamera Mowry and younger brother Tahj Mowry but with a twist: Kid genius Willie Donovan'south experiment goes awry and somehow turns his divorced grandparents Cat and Gene into teenagers. Cat is the spitting epitome of granddaughter Sydney, while Gene reverts to his bonny former course.

Everything is slap-up in teenage land until information technology is revealed that the furnishings of the backwards aging are non only temporary but lethal. It is up to Willie to get his grandparents back to their normal ages and for his estranged grandparents to notice their ways dorsum to each other. Early noughties nostalgia ensues.

Seventeen Again contains examples of:

  • Accidental Murder: What could've happened to Willie if the grandparents died!
  • Actor Allusion: Tahj Mowry over again plays a young supergenius.
  • Adults Are Useless: Granted, at that place were adults in the business firm when the parents leave for a nuptials.
  • Alpha Bowwow: Ashley.
  • Big Eater: True cat, once her younger body enables her to eat foods that her sometime age kept her from enjoying.
  • Belligerent Sexual Tension: Cat and Gene in spades.
  • The Casanova: Factor. No less than an hour after becoming young once again, he gets the number of a woman who helps him after Terrance and his friend run into him on their cycle.
  • Dance of Romance: Cat and Gene go to a swing club and finally relieve some of their sexual tension.
  • Divorce Is Temporary: Cat and Gene, though estranged for years, are back together by the end of the picture show and are even planning another wedding!
  • Evil-Detecting Dog: Gypsy tin tell correct away that it isn't Sydney walking downstairs. True cat gets chased out of the house because of this.
  • First Girl Wins: Although Gene was only dating Ashley to make True cat jealous, it was pretty articulate he would eventually fall for her again.
  • Identical Grandson: The Mowry twins play the part of not only Willie's sister, just the younger version of his grandmother.
  • Impossibly Mundane Explanation: What Sydney reverts to when her long-winded explanation of her grandparents' accident doesn't suffice for Julie. Sydney then says Oprah helped her find her long lost twin, to which Julie asks, "Why didn't you just say that?"
  • I Miss Mom: One of the reasons Sydney is and then angry at the earth is because of her deceased mother.
  • Jerkass: Ashley. She denies Sydney a spot on the cheerleading team, tells her she tin can't date her blood brother (for some reason) and then when the grandparents are essentially near to die, prevents her and her family from leaving to get them assistance just because she thinks Sydney is trying to talk to Gene. That punch in the face, for most, was justified.
  • Jerkass Has a Signal: When Todd asks Ashley why she doesn't like Sydney, she responds, "I smell an mental attitude problem." Though Ashley is far worse than Sydney, she isn't lying. Sydney spends the unabridged movie pissed that she doesn't live in LA anymore. She even snaps at Todd for trying to make amends later she gets dissed past Ashley. Granted, she was nearly to apologize before Terrance showed upwards, but her bad attitude renders her unfriendly although she manages to make one at the convenient store where she works. And so in that location'southward the style she treats Monique, who doesn't appear evil at all. Just this could all be attributed to her teenage Wangst.
  • Lampshade Hanging: Afterwards Terrance tries and fails again to woo Sydney, his friend sees her and asks, "Hey, you got a sister?"
  • My Sister Is Off-Limits!: Inverted. For some reason, no one is allowed to date Ashley'southward brother. She makes this clear to Sydney in the 3rd human action.
  • Police Are Useless: The cop who stops Gene after he suspects he stole his father's car doesn't even carp to chase after him once he runs away.
  • Pretty Wing for a White Guy: Terrance.
  • Pronouncing My Name for You: Ashley mispronounces Sydney'southward name at the cheerleading tryouts. Sydney wastes no time in correcting her.
  • Secret Exam of Character: Turns out Cat and Factor divorced over a job opportunity in Australia. True cat didn't want to get with him and idea if he loved her, he'd stay.
  • "The Reason Y'all Suck" Speech communication: Sydney delivers one to Cat after she catches her dancing with Todd.
  • Violence Really Is the Answer: After Ashley tries to keep the family from getting the grandparents help, Sydney delivers a well-deserved punch to her face.
  • What the Hell, Hero?: Seriously, why did Cat trip the light fantastic toe with the guy that Sydney has a crush on?
  • Wicked Stepmother: Sydney views Monique as this, though she seems genuinely interested in becoming a part of the family unit. Cat fifty-fifty tells her to call her "mom."
