Cut and Paste

The "plot" section was copied and pasted from IMDB and should be deleted. It was inserted onto WP on 18-Feb-2008, but according to archive.org it was on IMDB on 8-Feb-2008: http://web.archive.org/web/20080208161435/http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0974661/synopsis Peter Ballard (talk) 02:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'm deleting the entire plot, because it was copied from a copyrighted source. It needs to be rewritten. Peter Ballard (talk) 23:43, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Opening part of the film

It said previously that Scarlet was pregnant in the opening part of the film (when it's set in 1989) and that this is why Scarlet was going to dump Mike at the start of the film. I don't think she was pregnant, because their daughter,, Maggie would now be twenty, surely too old to be in High School? Scottrb (talk) 22:32, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe she had a miscarage? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Izzymac (talk • contribs) 16:50, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it said she TOLD him she was pregnant, so that's at least 8 months until she's born, so she'd be more like 19... and who knows, maybe she failed a grade or something? 68.221.209.13 (talk) 17:12, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The movie was filmed in late 2007 and was probably intended for a 2008 release. So I wouldn't take the "present" scenes to necessarily be set in 2009. All Hallow's Wraith (talk) 01:11, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, I don't think the typical target audience for this was thinking that far ahead.... either that, or he has a kid that moved out already and everyone is just pretending didn't happen... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.29.23 (talk) 03:36, 3 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

=============

I can't find any record of a book by Dan Fogelman as stated in the opening line of the Wikipeida article.

According to IMDB: "Is "17 Again" based on a book?

Answer: No. 17 Again is based on a screenplay by American screenwriter Jason Filardi." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.43.77 (talk) 13:06, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Matthew Perry's final film appearance

This is where interested editors should discuss whether to include a mention that this was the last film Perry appeared in. Editors need to reach consensus here, not edit war in the article. Schazjmd (talk) 13:44, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

My two cents: it should not be mentioned. The movie was in 2009. I haven't found a single news article on his death that found that factoid to be worth mentioning. Schazjmd (talk) 13:44, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Schazjmd that it should not be mentioned in this article, as it's a movie from 14 years ago, Perry was a supporting actor, and Perry had had numerous TV roles since then, so it's not like he was a prolific film actor where this was his last film released a year before his death (or even posthumously). The fact that this was the last film he appeared in is so far removed for an article about the film. It's tangential trivia at best. At the limit, including it might even be considered WP:OR/WP:SYNTH. Rowing007 (talk) 14:12, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, it may be one of his final film roles, but really not worth mentioning since, as stated above, Perry was a supporting actor in this film, and it's basically a trivial mention. Tails Wx 14:20, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do not mention this is not an attribute of the film. When the film was made, released etc it had no connection to an event 14 years later. The scope of the article isn't about what happened to actors afterwards. These two things are not related. Canterbury Tail talk 14:28, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. Although his film career wasn't his primary claim to fame, it's still factual that this was his final film appearance before his death, even with a 14-year gap. Including this information on the page is valuable for readers and removing it seems unnecessary, potentially sparking debates among editors. 82.43.51.74 (talk) 22:07, 29 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Do not mention: This is the type of factoid that winds up as a single line in IMDB trivia sections. Ravenswing 15:46, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do not mention: Perhaps if this was a current/recent film, but it was too long ago to make last film a notable comment.--☾Loriendrew☽ ☏(ring-ring) 22:24, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You guys always lack details in the page so please fix it already by adding Matthew's final film role. Otherwise, you will keep lacking sufficient details. 182.255.41.207 (talk) 08:42, 3 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
And as for you, Rowing007. If you don't stop removing any relevant details about 17 Again that made Matt upset and if you don't remove any warning labels about the consensus thing, prosecutions will occur. 182.255.41.207 (talk) 12:20, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
