My biggest Hate on this movie: Tiffany not getting JAIL TIME?? She nearly murdered someone with FULL intention and she lost 20 years of her life? Nobody cares? She should be in jail.

[@empressofcreativity]

My exact thoughts when I was watching this movie

[@DionaFan]

Now that I remember yeah if it was irl she would get jail time for almost murdering someone and giving them a 20 year coma

[@supervegeta101]

Tiffany and the two goons that pushed the male cheerleader should be in prison. The Male cheerleader didn't call them out for pushing him, no one else in the whole pep rally saw them push him, no angle of any video shows them pushing him. If they were never gonna circle back to the fact it wasn't an accident then it just should've been an accident. An accident of Stephanies own hubris or superficial tunnel vision which leads to some life lesson.

[@melodyflores00]

the fact that there was 100 witnesses to her intentionally pushing the cheerleaders out of the way is baffling 💀 like she had no consequences to her actions and she’s living with no remorse for 20 years even when stephanie wakes up she does not feel bad. stephanie should have SUED her ass to the ground and get that house.

[@Jackrabbit7]

Just bad writing in a nutshell

[@NecoNiko]

My biggest pet peeve with this movie was when Tiffany finally apologized to Stephanie but didn’t actually come out and say “I’m the reason you were in a coma for 20 years” and its just never addressed again? And Stephanie just accepts the apology anyway?

[@yournanslefttoe927]

I think it's the case that she doesn’t remember the accident, so the writers probably thought they shouldn't adress it?

[@tyra8805]

Right? This part bugged me so much like she didn’t get into any trouble at all i was watching the movie on edge wondering when they were going to address it

[@Amsayy]

Yesss I was expecting the climax to be something involving how she was the reason Stephanie was robbed of her life over petty drama

[@coldspaghetti9372]

OMG I FORGOT ABOUT THAT

[@Simtasticgallery]

To be honest, at least in real life, nobody that planned this against someone. Might be brave enough to confess it especially for the reaction that might come afterwards from the victim and the legal stuff and such.

What annoyed me about this movie the most is how they kept blaming her for not changing during all those years. Ofc she didn't change, she was in a coma. When was this personal development suppose to happen? Ofc she is immature for her age. Her brain is a child. Also that no one got in trouble for the attempted murder on her.

[@natapolkhamwatanapunt7922]

Exactly!!! especially the scene at the prom when Seth catch her with Blaine and blame her for not changing at all. Like how she suppose to change. She is in Coma, for her it was like only 10 min nap.

[@pinobluevogel6458]

This is exactly what I was saying in my post, the joke just fell flat. Ofcourse everybody doesn't want turtles to choke on straws, that's beside the point. The point is: this was a complete nonsense initiative to reduce the usage of plastic straws and making fun of it requires a bit of sophistication and thought, just like this initiative required a bit more sophistication and thought. The reduction of plastic straws in the ocean requires a global initiative, As people in China and Indonesia are responsible for polluting the vast majority of the ocean's plastic, while the EU and US are responsible for a fraction of that. Meanwhile we are the only ones that actually seem to care about it. Similary, the Hollywood mentality that is responsible for all the woke ideas oozing from nearly every show and film, completely falls flat when they try to make a joke about woke ideas. Yes, the joke is about something else than plastic straws ... but the delivery is so basic and so besides the point, that is simply doesn't work. This self critical stuff needs to be genuine and this clearly is not.

And how she could immediately walk after waking up from a 20 year coma.

[@Mama_Bear524]

I lost 10 pounds after being in the hospital for a week or so after brain surgery

[@Casia243]

I enjoyed the movie, but I had an issue with a few things. I didn't care for the romance between her and her bf (keep in mind that she's still mentally 17). And it was annoying that her friends kept telling her to grow up. The woman was in a coma for twenty years how is she supposed to act without therapy to process the trauma she went through? It's also odd that the people who caused her accident weren't held accountable.

[@trianglemoebius]

She's not still mentally 17, she's just an idiot. While she admittedly lacks life experiences, the doctors mention that she's perfectly fine to return to the world and she suffered no development issues, meaning her brain grew naturally despite the coma.

[@nyashiahughes3829]

I totally agree. Additionally I don't like how they displayed her about being completely about herself and in her own world in terms of her popularity. Was her persona false due to her being popular? Yes. But when it came down to it did she try to take her friends with her? Yes. She found a way to include Martha on the cheer squad and she always drove to school with Seth every morning. She made sure both were invited to her party and that they would be in the vip section. Am I suppose to be mad at her because Martha didn't feel comfortable to admit she was gay and Seth couldn't admit his crush? Not really. Because the part I did see with her as a 17 year old, she really did care about her friends

[@amirailyas2930]

My biggest problem with the film was also the romance aspect of it. I've liked Sam Richardson as the romantic lead in other media, but my gosh did this give the creeps. The movie makes it explicitly clear that Rebel's character is 17 mentally. In fact Sam's character talks about the fact that she's 17 and how he recognises she's playing teenage tricks on him but he's an adult and can recognise it! WTF! Also the scene where he thinks he's being cheated on, but it should've been entirely obvious that her ex's attention was unwanted. She was clearly saying no and pushing him away?!?

[@elizrebezilmadommdo1662]

Thank you! For her, she was her 17 year old self just a few weeks ago. I don't know what these people expected. Did they think she was instantly going to become more mature in a few weeks? Her friends telling her to grow up was so insensitive and unfair when they themselves got to grow in a normal and slow way while she went from 17 to 37 in what was basically minutes to her. Honestly, she turned out really well considering the fact that she didn't even seek therapy. She even forgave the girl who caused her to fall into a coma. The only terrible thing she did was have that party at her friend's lake house with a bunch of teenagers. Then her friends get mad at her because she "pushed them aside" even though she drove one friend to school every day even while she was popular and stood up for her other friend when she was getting picked on by the other cheerleaders, both on the same day that she went into a coma. And they get all shocked when she still thinks like a 17 year old and have basically no sympathy for her whatsoever. Terrible friends. I know it's just supposed to be a silly movie, but I think that the movie kind of treated our protagonist in a weird way. Then she gets hit on by TWO almost forty something year old men while STILL being mentally 17. She shouldn't have had a love interest at all.

[@mariaskabardonis8353]

Yeah she was a pretty nice popular girl, which I found refreshing. She still included her old friends and even defended Martha against Tiffany in the past. I don't get Martha issues at times

[@digitalminimalism9083]

This film should have included a subplot where Rebel's character sues Tiffany for medical costs and pushes charges for criminal liability. 1. That's how you get the house back. 2. If she wins in court, she could achieve fame, which--lets face it--is how adults become famous and well known or popular post highschool. 3. The money and fame might draw the eye of a new man.

Tbh, the idea of a former-teen waking up from a long coma to find the world had moved on, mourning the years they lost, feeling out of place with their older and weaker (from atrophy) body as they go through physical therapy, seeing how their former classmates had matured and became adults and no longer cared about highschool as much as they did, feeling awkward and disconnected from their friends who had grown up, learning to reconnect with them, growing as a person as they adapt in this new world and accept it and themselves, sounds really good and I would watch that.

I feel like a reason this movie probably worked for you and others is because Rebel's very good at getting across the absurdity of these kinds of movie's plots through her acting; not just verbally, but also through body language as well. She can give off a genuine 'don't care/unfazed by cringey-ness' of her characters typically very embarrassing actions from the audiences stand point.

[@nerd26373]

I’m having conflicted thoughts in regards to this whole movie. It’s not a comedic masterpiece or anything like that, but I guess it’s still somewhat weirdly enjoyable and interesting to watch. Also, can we talk about Angourie Rice for a quick sec? I feel like she’s perfectly casted as Rebel’s younger counterpart. Change my mind if you will, but the resemblance between them is so striking that it’s somewhat unbelievable that they’re not actually related in real life. This is probably Rebel’s most mediocre performance in a feature length movie, but the again, there’s always room for improvement, so I’m not really complaining. Rebel in Pitch Perfect may be the absolute best in my own humble opinion. I’m sounding way too biased, but I still have to mention it. Also, the movie’s concept definitely has a lot of potential. It’s taking references from 90s and 2000s comedy teen flicks, but this one in particular didn’t deliver to its utmost capacity. Some scenes in this even felt out of place and bland so to speak. There wasn’t enough cheer scenes. Also the other characters weren’t exactly fleshed out. We didn’t get to know much about their backgrounds and/or upbringings. Apologies for the very long rant sort of thing.

I'm not surprised that so many people in the comments seemed to have missed the point of the film as not many tend to notice satire in films. Satire is about making fun/exaggerating reality, events or issues. For example read Candide one of Voltaire's many works, to understand what satire is and enjoy or avoid said comedy. "Senior year" is a satire (a sub genre in comedy) about romcom, wanting to be nr1 and the newer generation of children. Just like "mean girls" was a satire about teenage life of their time, phobia/disorders and wanting to fit in with some few real advices on why it's shallow to have a superficial and short sighted view in life. Rebel Wilson did a significant job as one of the film producers to "Senior year" truly enjoyed it.

[@TheNoobler]

(Sorry, this is long, lmao.) Thank you! These comments (and the video) are so hard to get through because they literally miss the point of the movie. How many times is someone going to comment the same fucking "why didn't the girl who pushed her go to jail/ shouldn't Stephanie have trauma"?! That's not the damn point! If they focused on that, it'd be weirdly more serious when it DOESN'T NEED TO BE! It's just a funny satirical film, why do you need it to show her going through trauma or getting that bully to go to jail? I get that they could've at least shown a quick scene of it but damn, there are like 50 uselessly repetitive comments. Can people just read the comments before they comment? Because all you had to do was see the first like 10 to see the same argument over and over (sorry, pet peeve, I like to see more different takes on things). Also, how is it "filled with plotholes"? And why are people actually saying "I go to school in present time and that's not how it is, it's inaccurate"? Um... DUH? It's overdramatic and satirical, it's just weird to me that no one gets that. I'm really confused, lol. It's actually one of the best movies I've seen in a long while, I know no one here will agree but there have been basically only shit movies lately (with rare exceptions). Lastly, people are saying it's making fun of "woke" culture, but you're still missing the point. It's making fun of the present AND THE PAST. So teens and adults can watch it and enjoy. It's not like they made all the "woke" people bad, Stephanie is literally best friends with them! Idk, maybe people will change their minds on it in the future...

[@altalune5662]

@@TheNoobler The people you see in the comments that are trying to claim the film has to be 100% realistic and believe the film opted for realism have likely issue with satire, sarcasm and metaphors overall. It's the kind of people you see throwing a tantrum in a comment when a person writes "Sarcasm" to clarify things and the ones throwing the tantrum know it's directed at them, instead they act defensive and try to claim everyone knows sarcasm and would get the joke without the person needing to write "sarcasm". Confusing isn't it? Apparently anything would be a plot hole for some people, for example the characters going to the cinema and the scene skipping forward not showing how they threw away the snacks and drinks. I can definitely see it. So many films lately have been a little too child friendly, it's as if it's opted for toddlers in how certain films make you walk in with low expectations and leave with lower, either that or they have intercourse 24/7 (honestly one should be getting paid to watch them at this point). It makes sense that if the majority actually enjoys low quality films (bad plot, 0 character development, no substance etc) then they will very likely dislike anything that has good quality or turn the good quality into trash by overhyping it and eventually turning it mainstream. People who want 100% harsh realism have better chance at watching a documentary but they will likely not enjoy knowledge either. Most films are unrealistic and just because a film doesn't fit what they are used to, then they have a harder time grasping any of it and will instead try to throw rocks at it. Honestly, I too find it concerning that so many people repeat the same thing over and over again, it's as if they can't think at all. They could easily read through the comments and see if someone has already commented on it to avoid making themselves look dumb but no, they just don't care. It would have been different if they put some more thought into it or expanded a bit more in a form of reply or something. Seen this happen too many times that it's no longer funny.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Movies like "Tall Girl" don't seem to understand that a 16/17 year old is at or nearly full grown. There would be plenty of guys as tall or taller than her. My son's 14 and over 6ft. and he's not the only one of his friends that tall. It probably comes from Hollywood always casting short adult actors as teenagers by using height to infer the authority dynamic with adult characters.

[@TheDawnofVanlife]

I would say they cast ‘young looking’ adults as opposed to short adults. There are many movies where adults and teens are the same exact height, but actually-an-adult actor is just baby faced. And often way-tooo-old boys are cast as the high school heartthrob to like a 17 year old actress. But Tall Girl absolutely went out of its way to lean the majority of the casting shorter then the lead character in order to emphasize the characters height. But the funny thing is in the second movie she seems to just be around handsome ‘tall’ (as her) guys in school all of a sudden without having to ship a height-appropriate guy from overseas. Were they all just in drama club and she couldn’t find them?

Some have accused Tiffany of trying to kill Stephanie, but she looked horrified when she was going into the coma, so she probably just told her friends to embarrass her, not try and kill her. Seeing as the teachers and students all clearly saw what the girls did, they probably got expelled. Tiffany is at the very end of the day a very insecure woman who struggled with losing her popularity. Stephanie overthrew her as Queen Bee and her boyfriend cheated on her with Stephanie, who was told he broke up with Tiffany. So really you can’t blame Stephanie or Tiffany when it comes to Blaine. I love this movie to be honest.

Why didn’t Stephanie sue Tiffany? She almost KILLED her… INTENTIONALLY 😭

I actually liked this movie. It was a funny blend of 2001 and now

Ditto, it's like a fun guilty pleasure movie. As long as you don't question the logic behind it, then it's an entertaining time.

Yeah I liked it. It's interesting to see our generations different styles seen
