The Re-Education of Molly Singer

Loved the movie from the beginning to the end to the outtakes. It held my attention and I laughed throughout the movie. It was well written and I would highly recommend this movie to all my friends. In todays world we need more movies like this that can make us laugh.

I loved that Molly was forced to go back to college and help someone who probably had no self confidence to begin with. I remember how hard it can be starting out in any university setting and feeling unpopular. I loved the fact that she was forced to go back but once she did she changed somebody's else's life. The whole audience was laughing. Love Brit Robertson Nina.

Clearly, most of the reviews of this are fake, or planted. Who, except for those paid would write something like that? They read like studio release announcements. So yeah... this movie is pretty bad. The script is stupid, ridiculously stupid. The plot lines are nonsensical, situations are unbelievable and many times cringeworthy. For a movie that is supposedly to be a comedy, it's not funny. There are many, many rip offs of scenes from other movies. Stereotypical drinking scenes that make you shake your head. The acting is pretty bad, the editing is lame, the soundtrack is cheap. Yeah, this is a bad movie, not funny at all.

It's just bad. I wasted 45 minutes on it thinking it might get better. Dumbest old idea premise. Throw a couple of faces at the trailer to lure peopole in. Let's get drunk and puke college BS might appeal only to those who are actually in college still doing this childish stuff. Do yourself a favor and watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off again. It will be far more entertaining. Ok, I guess I need more characters or it's not good enough for the review. I think this is actually a steal from Legally Blonde movie that, although different, is on a similar path. I actually watched that whole movie, and as goofy as that was, it's tolerabe chewing gum for the brain.

I did enjoy it and don't get me wrong i watched it to the end but the blend of humor and serious themes is ambitious, yet occasionally misses the mark in terms of balance. The portrayal of Molly, the protagonist, is generally relatable, depicting a journey that mirrors a typical coming-of-age story. However, her character arc, while engaging, sometimes veers into predictable terrain. The supporting cast delivers adequate performances, though some characters lack depth and feel underutilized.

On the technical side, the film boasts commendable cinematography and a keen eye for detail, creating an immersive visual experience. The soundtrack, though diverse, is a mixed bag, with some selections enhancing the movie's atmosphere and others seeming somewhat disjointed.

This might appeal to those who enjoy narratives about self-discovery and change, though it doesn't entirely escape the pitfalls of its genre. It's a film with moments of clarity and charm but also one that might leave viewers wanting something a bit more groundbreaking.

This movie really was a total surprise for me. I mean its existance. Apparently its from 2023 but i had no idea it existed. Never saw it pass on my usual streaming/buying markets (in Canada) or physical or anything.

I looked at the trailer on Youtube and was immediately reminded of the comedy style i loved from the early 2000s to mid 2010s before eveything got woke. So hey lets goooo.

Overall i would say the movie get points for creativity. Yes it does remind me a bit of that Jennifer Lawrence movie call "No Hard Feelings" mixed with some 21 Jumpstreet. The premise is great. Not totally original sure, but the concept of someone who graduated from university having to go back to watch on their boss son and make them "cooler" while also having been quite the party animal in their own time was a recipe for laugh.

Will this evolve into a romcom and they develop a love story? Or they have more of a big sis/little bro relationship? Or will they just become best bud of debauchery? The possibilities are plenty.

But as the movie start it open on a few very woke line and right away i was rolling my eyes. And just like the movie i watched a couple days ago there is a relationship that is completely far fetch and would never happen if it was not a movie. At least his time it was not really a plot point but just an intro that didn't matter. Still it felt just totally placed to "score acceptance points".

There is also a few lines telling us (cause i do think these type of lines are only directed at the audience) how something is "not ok" and shouldn't be said. But thanksfully this happen early in the movie and it seem to tone down "the message" after. That said as a fan of raunchy comedies for over 20 years, im sorry but these movies are not made for "modern audiences" (that wouldn't watch them anyway) and you should fully embrace the raunch and not try to put a message in it.

With that said, was the rest of the movie alright? Yeah... more or less.

Like any raunchy comedies (using the term loosely) set in university there is a bunch of nonsense, but this is the kinda stuff you have to accept before watching a movie like that. Its part of the package in a way.

Acting wise and character wise, i think everyone did a fair job. The story as i said earlier in the review could go many different routes and ill let you discover wich one it does. But for me, it was satisfying.

I do think there should had been a few more truly laughable situations or situations where the "good guys" (aka who we follow) are pit against the "bad guys". It only happen a few times and its rather brief and does not really lead to uber laughing moments.

If anything thats probably where the movie is a bit too much at fault. There is not enough truly big laugh moments, not enough "raunch" either, so ultimately its like it can't really decide or commit on what it try to be. Probably to not offend anyone.

Overall did i enjoyed this movie? Yeah...barely... Just enough to get a 6 out of 10. But from the trailer i was expecting to get a raunchy comedy out of 2012 without any concerns for "modern audiences" or such. Just a good ol's frat party comedy without any restrictions... Sadly this is not it.

It has "the structure" of it, but not the core that make one. I wish these types of movies would return to what they used to be in the 2000s and 2010s.
