Mi yo adulta

"My Old Ass" ain't what it might appear to be. Despite its low-brow title & silly central premise it's not a gawdy role-reversal comedy but an intelligent teen drama... in which Aubrey Plaza has a surprisingly minor support role while lesser-known Maisy Stella takes the lead (very well) as a Canadian farm-girl about to leave for uni, who on her 18th b'day does 'shrooms... 'hallucinating' Plaza as her 39yr old self, bringing advice from the future, especially about the disarmingly charming Percy Hynes White (good). With her second movie as writer / director Megan Park defies expectations, to deliver a gently enjoyable parable that'll doubtless be adored by its target teenage audience.

Another pleasant surprise! Went into this film (it was the Regal Mystery Movie on 9/9) with NO excitement at all - in fact I thought I would hate it outright, but I decided to suffer through it because I was going to have a livestream discussion about it later. Imagine my utter JOY when I got to the end of the movie and absolutely loved it! The acting, story, messaging - in all of its positive, uplifting, joyful, heartbreaking glory - make this coming of age tale well worth your time. The evolution the main character goes through is SO well-crafted and effective, that I am still blown away by how much I enjoyed the journey with her as a whole. Video review available on my YouTube channel.

This 69 year old straight white male absolutely loved this film. It has been years since I have been so moved by a film. I have never been a huge Aubrey Plaza fan. She has a lot of people that really love her. I just like her and she was very good in this, but the two young leads Maisy Stella and Percy Hynes White were just terrific.. I have always loved coming of age stories. There are going to be a lot of haters that give this a one cause they thought they were going to the Reagan movie in the theater next door, but I call this maybe the best Romantic Dramedy that I have ever seen . Truth be told I was grappling between a 9 and a 10 but decided to add the star tot counteract the haters. Sometimes with reviews I.worry that I am going to give spoilers. Let me just say that if you have a good heart you will love this film. I did not think much of Megan Park's first film "The Fallout" but she.wrote and directed a wonderful little film here and probably deserves the biggest kudos of all.

Not a bad movie, charming in parts, but I found the conversations between future self quite boring, quite often they are just talking about what we've just seen on screen, so it's quite repetitive. The whole chad mystery isn't particularly exciting either.

It's a little bit hard to care that much about her journey of discovery that her incredibly nice family are actually nice to hang out with. Or that her area is incredibly beautiful and that hanging out on a boat is quite fun and she might miss it.

That being said I didn't hate it, lots of charming moments, the actors are really good, the setting is beautiful.

Maisy Stella and Aubrey Plaza deliver standout performances that bring depth and charm to their respective roles.

The film's unique premise and clever exploration of self-discovery make it both entertaining and thought-provoking. The movie successfully blends comedic elements with heartfelt moments, creating a well-rounded viewing experience.

Megan Park's direction and the sharp, witty screenplay keep the audience engaged and invested in the characters' journeys.

Occasionally, the film leans into predictable territory, but the overall execution and strong performances more than make up for it.

"My Old Ass" is a delightful, must-watch film that offers a fresh take on the coming-of-age genre, leaving audiences with plenty to ponder about their own life choices and second chances. 🎬✨
