Senior Year (2022)

Rebel Wilson's last Netflix Movie was okay, but this one is just sh1tty, an absolute waste of Money for Netflix. No inspiration whatsoever, it's as if they were just going thru the Motions to make a Movie.

Fmovies: Okay - this was way better than I was expecting - it's really cute and it's kind of a clever premise - especially when you contrast all the changes that have taken place just over the last 20 years! This is a fun one - for everyone! It's a little raunchy - but it's not too bad - mostly just cute fun!

Although there is the occasional amusing inappropriate zinger Rebel Wilson is known for, this is basically a bottom of the barrel adult-oriented variation on the endless plethora of Disneyesque teen fantasies from the early millenium. Like those, this is void of any reality, with threadbare contrived plotting and jam-packed with exposition. Rebel Wilson needs to stop doing this type of empty fluff, as she is capable of so much more.

Senior Year fmovies. If you are a child of the 90s you'll love the references. Rebel Wilson is charming and silly. The plot is totally unexceptional and predictable. There's also plenty of political messaging that you'd expect from any movie these days.

Easy watching. A lot of funny bits. Good story with a decent end. The girl playing the younger version is amazing anyway and does a good take on rebel Wilson. Don't go.in thinking it's an Oscar winner. It's not. But it's a good story. Not a fan of rebel but she does well in this and looks amazing. A good easy watch.

Despite being a formulaic cliché, this does have an interesting satirical element. Of course all the tired tropes are there, unrequited love, wonder at technology development and child in a woman's body.

The intriguing part is the stark contrast in sensibilities over twenty years. Naturally it is caricatured for comedic effect, but perhaps we have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Some horrible practices have been discontinued, but at the expense of sanitising our interactions.

Sadly this social commentary is insufficient to make this a good movie despite the delightful Rebel Wilson. It is mediocre at best, with a weak, stale story, clumsy dialogue and an insurmountable suspension-of-disbelief requirement.
