Netflix's SeniorYear, Rebel Wilson's generation-gap high school comedy, should be held back. rockmarooned's review:
—because she insists on re-enrolling in high school to finish out her final month and reclaim her crown, metaphorically and literally. She assembles a multi-step plan to become popular, head the cheerleading squad and win prom queen.
It’s absurd, of course, that a 37-year-old would be allowed to step back into her alma mater, interacting with a bunch of underage classmates, including Brie , the daughter of Stephanie’s old nemesis Tiffany . But Stephanie’s less popular bestie Martha has become principal of their old high school, while their friend Seth has just started working as a librarian, and they gingerly support her efforts to restart her life while attempting to steer her away from her most superficial fantasies.
For a while, the movie fills out the caricatured high-concept ridiculousness of its premise with surprising nuance that refuses to indulge pronouns-in-bio sneering at the younger generation. Brie’s social success with this crowd has an especially novel, Gen Z twist: She’s the queen bee as a manicured high school brand who, as another character explains, is friendly to everyone without actually having many genuine friends.
, her star-as-auteur imprint has become clear: A pop-culture exuberance akin to binge-reading back issues of Entertainment Weekly. But likebecomes fixated on the idea of pop culture as a kind of self-esteem therapy session, preaching the power and glory of just being yourself, culminating in a music-video dance party.rambles on for nearly two hours, with most of its best moments spent by the halfway mark. Even the movie’s pop-culture precision eventually falters.
