Despite assembling all the right ingredients, any attempt at a saccharine piece of media is thwarted by a plot that is more confused than its protagonist.

It was fun to see the early 2000s, Wilson is funny when she gets the chance to shine. However, the script is weak, most of it is consumed by the modern “wokeness” of high school kids and some of the stands are bizarre.

Overall out of Netflix’s slate of forgettable films this is one that manages to lead among the pack and deliver a good time.

It’s not too hard to see where Senior Year went wrong. The humor is rooted in meanness and mockery, despite the script’s insistence that this high school is a place of inclusivity. Even with two impromptu dance numbers, the movie is sluggish and humorless

It won't score high as a Proper Film, but Senior Year is an above average Netflix movie that achieves exactly what it promises. It's silly, cheerful, features bangers from the '90s and delivers a predictably happy ending.

There have been plenty of child stuck in an adult’s body movies...It may follow the cookie cut examples of others, but its sweet messages are buried under so many cringeworthy moments.

| Original Score: D | Jan 5, 2023

Senior Year doesn’t stray from tried-and-true tropes of the high school comedy subgenre, but it’s bolstered by a lively lead performance from Rebel Wilson.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 1, 2022

While first-time feature film director Alex Hardcastle deserves points for trying to make something out of this nutty premise, the utterly predictable movie can only manage a few mild laughs and even fewer interesting characters.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2022

Senior Year eventually gives Wilson's character all those stale tropes that you thought the film would end up spoofing.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2022

Most of the ensemble cast is giving contagious, energetic, and sometimes adorable performances. Sadly, Rebel Wilson, once such a hilarious scene stealer, is a charisma vacuum at the center and misses multiple opportunities for laughs.

| Original Score: C | Jul 8, 2022

The film squanders its culture-clash potential on broad satirical targets. Weak gags about mobile phones and Lady Gaga jostle with snide jabs at woke teens, with most landing flatly.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 16, 2022

Wilson's unfunny style of comedy, coupled with her limited acting talent, isn’t strong enough to carry a feature film. She lacks appeal and making matters worse, her character is an unlikable jerk. It’s like the project was doomed from the start.

| Jun 13, 2022

The opportunity is here to give Rebel Wilson a vehicle to tap into something more emotionally viable along with funny. Instead it relies on obvious jokes to fit her comic personality and fails to fully engage with the setup.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 13, 2022

Rebel Wilson has a new look but an old plot in"Senior Year." She needs to graduate form this average type of entertainment.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jun 8, 2022

The film suffers from failing to either properly parody teen movies or be one.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 4, 2022

Ultimately, Senior Year is a movie with nothing new to say. The film lacks fresh ideas, so it simply plays like a bad cover of a hit song.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jun 1, 2022

Senior Year offers the odd chuckle but struggles to bring anything new to the table.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 27, 2022

Yes it's derivative and heavily signposted but it's also exuberant and witty, a reminder to teenagers to let their hair down and to their parents not to assume that (and I’m showing my age here) modern life is rubbish.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 24, 2022

This will barely raise your pulse, let alone elicit any chuckles.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 23, 2022

It’s certainly a throwback style of body swap or situational comedy, such as Big, 13 Going on 30, or Billy Madison, and although the plot is predictable, Senior Year has enough charm to make the trip back to high school worth it.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | May 21, 2022
