People Are Sharing Their Thoughts On “Senior Year,” Netflix’s Nostalgic New Rebel Wilson Movie

Netflix’s latest comedy movie, Senior Year, feels like an homage to all the high school rom-coms that were so iconic that even today’s popstars keep referencing them in their music videos.

Rebel Wilson looks on with folded arms Netflix

Senior Year sees Rebel Wilson as a teenager in the body of a 37-year-old woman who goes back to high school after being in a coma for 20 years.

She tries to reclaim her past glory, and on the way, demolishes many high school movie clichés while nourishing some as well. As she engages in teenage shenanigans, she realizes how hollow and pretentious many things are that many associate with being popular in high school. 

The movie is a raunchy comedy that provides laughs galore. Let’s see what the internet is saying about the movie.

1. An amazing entertaining watch that’s not only funny but touches on some sensitive issues as well.

lish @ottolymirands I just watched Senior Year on Netflix and I’m just gonna say I actually loved it. I was worried it would be just like a teen drama show. But it tackled so many things and made me cry more than I want to admit. Give it a watch! #SeniorYear #Netflix

8. I think that cameo from Alicia Silverstone made everyone think about Clueless. I, for a moment, wondered if this is some crossover.

Sydnie @soybeansoyka4 The irony of @AliciaSilv being an Uber driver in Senior Year on @netflix when she’s a “virgin who can’t drive” should be appreciated by all millennials. #SeniorYear #senioryearnetflix

11. Some profound questions that were left unanswered for the viewers to ponder over.

Charlotte Hutchinson @Charlot31941149 1. She BARELY reacted to smart phones being a thing2. Who kept her highlights up for 20 years?3. Why is Alicia Silverstone an Uber driver when she has a Clueless poster in her bedroom? #SeniorYear #senioryearnetflix

16. Unlike comedy, justice was elusive in the movie.

Cris Coc Aina @CristyKatt Something I hate from #SeniorYear is that the "Mean Girl" made her be in a 20 years coma but they never did something with that, she had to go to jail
