World War II thriller 'Operation Mincemeat’ and Rebel Wilson comedy ‘Senior Year’ hit Netflix and other movies to watch this weekend.

both pokes fun at high school movie cliches and reaffirms their power in the slight but amiable comedy “Senior Year,” directed by Alex Hardcastle from a team-written screenplay. Wilson plays Stephanie Conway, who in 2002 was the captain of the cheerleading team and on her way to being named prom queen, before she conked her head during a pep rally and fell into a 20-year coma.

Ricci plays “not quite right” about as well as any actor of her generation, and she really puts across Laura’s creeping sense of dread, as she drinks more, snaps at Cody, and has an increasingly difficult time maintaining her sunny disposition. This gradual breakdown is a buildup to the plot’s big twist — a “nothing is what it seems” switcheroo that frankly arrives too late to be explored as fully as it should.
