Senior Year Review: Rebel Wilson Leads Bland, Heartless Netflix Comedy
Directed by Alex Hardcastle from a screenplay by Andrew Knauer, Arthur Pielli, and Brandon Scott Jones, Senior Year tells a familiar story. While it attempts to incorporate elements of classic films from the late 1990s and early aughts, the Netflix comedy fails to capture any magic with a lackluster script that could have used a lot more heart. The film is filled with nostalgia, but doesn’t use it to properly amplify its own story. The lead character, relationship dynamics and premise are surface-level and, despite a few funny moments, Senior Year never lives up to its potential.
