Back in 2002, Steph (Angourie Rice) had only one goal: to be prom queen. But a few days before from prom a cheerleading stunt went wrong, putting her in a coma for twenty years. Now in 2022, Steph (Rebel Wilson) wakes up: she’s physically 37 years old but mentally, she’s still 17. Despite her bizarre circumstances, Steph is still determined to wear the sash and tiara at prom, even if it means going back to high school to reach her goal. Show Crass high school comedies featuring an adult protagonist have been done before and done better. They have also been done worse. I had very low expectations of this movie, but I did not hate it as much as I expected. That doesn’t mean it’s good; it’s just not terrible. Taking the content concerns out of consideration for a moment (we’ll get to those later), Senior Year isn’t terribly funny, but it does have some heart behind it and ends up with some surprisingly touching messages. Occasional heartwarming messages aside, there’s nothing exceptional in this flick. The performances are fine, the writing is fine, the production values are fine. Again, it’s not good but it’s not unwatchably dreadful either. In fact, for what’s supposed to be a raunchy comedy, Senior Year is weirdly bland. It also contains an unusually high number of dance sequences which leaves me wondering if this was originally a musical that got edited down to its current runtime? The world may never know. There are a couple of fun celebrity cameos which help perk up the third act, and Chris Parnell (who plays Steph’s dad) is always welcome on my screen. The messaging around cherishing the people who love you and embracing your authentic self are well done and actually get into some believable emotional territory. It’s sweet but not saccharine and is a good message for people of any age. Overall, I have very neutral feelings towards Senior Year, that is, until I take the content concerns into account. I expected the movie to be dirtier than it was, which really says something about this genre. The level of objectionable language is probably the biggest consideration for most viewers, as well as the excessive level of sexual references and innuendo. There is also a scene of teen drinking, but the party is quickly broken up by police and some of the teens are arrested, showing a very real consequences for their actions. Whether you care about negative content or not, I don’t recommend this film. Again, it’s not terrible, but in some ways that actually makes it worse. At least a bad movie can have some entertainment value, but Senior Year is so unremarkable I’ve already forgotten that I watched it. Sort of like how I’ve forgotten most of my own senior year.

Why is Steph so determined to be prom queen? Who does she neglect while fighting for her goal and how does that impact them? Does her perspective on her goals change with time?
An anxious father becomes a teenager for the second time around, and winds up attending the same high school as his kids in 17 Again. In Freaky Friday, a mother and daughter unexpectedly swap bodies, which sends mom back to high school and her daughter to work.
 Stephanie Conway is the most popular girl at Harding High. She is captain of the cheerleading squad, she is dating the quarterback and she is well on her way to becoming the prom queen. Girls want to be her and guys want to be with her. She has it all — until a disastrous cheerleading stunt lands her in a coma. Fast forward 20 years later and Steph finally wakes from her coma as a 37-year-old woman. She goes back to her high school and tries to assume her role as the star of the school. Most of all, she is still set on winning the crown as prom queen. Watch the Senior Year trailer here. Is Netflix’s Senior Year Ok For Kids? Parents Guide and ReviewBankable and likable Rebel Wilson is a big draw for most teens (see The Hustle for proof!). So it may not be surprising when your teens ask if they can see her latest movie on the big screen. But is Senior Year ok and safe for kids? In this parent’s guide and review, we’re breaking down the language, sex/nudity, adult themes, and violence that happens in the movie to help you determine if watching Senior Year is safe for kids in your home. Language: Senior Year Parents GuideIf language is an issue in your household, then Senior Year is not ok for your kids. This one has a bunch of raunchy language and expressions throughout. The Fbomb is dropped along with other similar swears like @ss, b!tch, sh!t, and d@mn. There are also plenty of good ol’ fashion 1990-era slurs including ret@rd, sl@t, dong, hoe-bag, and spazz. The language in Senior Year is not kid-friendly. Is Netflix Senior Year Safe For Kids? Sex and NudityAs many high school movies tell us, all these kids have on their minds is sex. And this movie is no different. Wilson’s character talks about rubbing her vulv@ (and uses the terminology) and rubs her nipples. There are also a few dance numbers in the movie and they do include provocative moves of a sexual nature. You can expect a fair amount of talk around sexual acts (bl@w jobs included). A boy assaults a girl by grabbing her breast. Passionate kissing happens as well. Violence in Senior Year: Is It Ok For Kids?The biggest plot point of the movie is a violent drop during a cheerleading stunt. The actual impact is not shown, but it’s still a pretty significant and startling moment in the movie. Bullying is also a prevalent theme, but hey, it’s a high school movie- so that is to be expected. Is Senior Year Ok For Kids? Alcohol and Drug UseUnderage kids are seen drinking and doing drugs. Some do get caught and face real consequences when police bust up a party. Senior Year Age RatingSenior Year is rated R for sexual material, language, and brief teen drinking/drug use. If you are fairly permissive with sexual talk and swearing, then your kids could watch this one from 13 up. If you are still being mindful when it comes to these two areas with your tweens, stick to the Rated R rating and ages 17 and up. More Parents Guides and Reviews |
