The only annoying thing about 'Summer of 69' is that this is the exact kind of laugh out loud, emotionally satisfying, share-it-with-a-friend comedy that would probably find a sizable audience in theaters — and instead it’s a Hulu exclusive.

Summer of 69 never gets into truly brash or raunchy territory (it’s more Booksmart than Bottoms), but it showcases the kind of sweet, unlikely friendships that make teen comedies memorable.

Fortunately, “Summer of 69” is a two-hander, and Fineman brings comic chops and genuine feeling to playing the tutor with a heart of gold.

The Spool

There’s an agreeably shaggy quality to Summer of 69, an awareness that it is a hangout film with very little to do and thus no need to rush.

We Live Entertainment

It’s wild that studios now deem this the sort of film that must go straight-to-streaming instead of putting in the effort to get it into theaters and let it be the laugh-out-loud crowd-pleasing comedy it truly is.

Rated: 7/10

Summer of 69 is nothing if not scattershot. Brilliantly absurdist bits and clever throwaway lines...coexist with scenes that play like sketch comedy first drafts.

Rated: 3.5/5

'Summer of 69' is a modestly quirky coming-of-age comedy with the right blend of humor and heart.

This was so enjoyable I thought it was sweet too definitely not average covering of age story It was I can't believe they did the Tom Cruise for risky business that was a great moment This was great work Sam Morelos I'm still pissed to canceled that '90 show can't wait to see what's next for you The stripper element was nice I like how having dressed up as a zombie to save her that was cool he said I'm done with magic Mike's awkward niece 🤣
