Do you mean to make “Hind sight” two words?
A fantasy so potent it’s been made into countless movies. What is the conflict here? Maybe that would set it apart. It would be interesting if he somehow screws it up and finds himself back in a forty-year old body but with the mentality of a toddler. Then he gets his own talk show on FOX news!
Nothing new here.. needs more originality…

It’s been done before. But maybe you can do it in a different way.
It could work if you polish the logline up by wording it better and make it important to us that he has the knowledge he had as an addult. Maybe he can now fix a big mistake, or save someones life that has made him a social outcast ever since her death, or guilty ever since. You see where Im going? Try this. A 40 year old has been scared by a bad memory past 25 years wakes up as a 14 year old and realises he can change what happend.
This has been done so many times, so many ways.
There needs to be an ‘edit’ button! I just wanted to say that the logline makes it sound a lot more like a comedy than an Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi/Fantasy, which is what it was classified as. Also, what happens as a result of his ‘knowledge’? Does he get the girl? Does he realize that there’s life after high school? If you can allude to that in the logline, that would be great.
It seems interesting.
we have seen this before several times. What makes your script different? Tell us in the logline.
May work. I like the premise
forgot to rate this…
This might have worked well if you’d told us in the logline why he became a teenager. Maybe then, a reader will at least know that this isn’t another going back to child remake.
I like that the concept is the reverse of BIG, but right now there doesn’t seem to be enough other than that to really capture my attention. What makes this different from any other reverse aging movie that’s already happened? Does he go back in time? is he 17 again but in the present? etc
I agree with this comment. Certainly more specific than mine. The notion is what will truly capture the reader’s attention. How is this unlike what we’ve seen before? The go back in time notion is cool as well.
This movie has been done many times – with all sexes. Something in your logline needs to pop — and make a reader want to pick up the script b/c there is a sense of something original inside.
“This time” he has full knowledge? Has he woken up before as a kid with adult experience? Odd wording .
This one has been done many times. Like “Big” with Tom Hanks as one example and there are several more above. In the logline it would be nice to see that there is a difference than other movies made with the same premise.
Obviously has been done before. Most similar being 17-Again, which you allude to in your info box. However, that’s not an immediate fail. It has been done many times, but in many different ways. 17-Again is not at all the same as BIG, even though similar circumstances.
The key is what you story will be about. How will you make yours different than all the others? Will he invest or change the world or invent? What will be the defining action of the younger protagonist? Something about that has to be in your logline, otherwise you describe a dozen movies and are left with no original hook.
Similiar to the other movies where people either go adult to child or child to adult.
This is the exact premise of “17 Again” with Zac Efron (2009)
It seems like this idea of someone walking up in a younger body has already been done in a number of stories, like Big, Freaky Friday, recent comedy with Will Farrell, and others. I’d want to know what is unique about yours to distinguish it.
Maybe, but I’m thinking it could be too much like “Big,” or “Freaky Friday”
Sounds great, but I’d like to know more about the actual story in this logline — I’ve heard this idea by other writers, however, it all comes down to execution of the story in the end. Maybe you should describe the story more in your logline.
