Incoming

Incoming is a Netflix movie created, written and directed by Chernin brothers, the same guys behind the series The Mick. The storyline follows four high school freshmen boys Mason Thomas, Ramon Reed, Raphael Alejandro, and Bardia Seiri. The first week of school Koosh's brother is throwing a big bash at his place. Mason who plays Benj has the hots for Bailey (Isabella Ferreira) and the party is the perfect chance for him to get to know her better. This is a combination of several teen movies much like Superbad, American Pie and any other teen movie. Bobby Cannavale played Mr. Studebaker the chemistry teacher who ended up attending the teen party and getting wasted. The end of the credits there is a short reel with him. Coincidentally there were a few actors from The Mick who had cameos which include Kaitlin Olsen, Thomas Barbusca, and Scott MacArthur. The movie covers the current teen topics of catcalling, drugs, and validation. I got to say I enjoyed this movie, it's been a while and but it isn't something I would watch again.

It was an okay movie I was bored this morning so I started watching it. Fun and cringe and weird all at the same time great twist and turns not what I was expecting if they took the teacher out the party scenes my score of the movie would improve. Decent ending feels like an epsidode of a show. If they decide to make a sequel maybe the ending could work and the sequel could start at the beginning of the sophomore year , the ending would have been better if she had said yes and they walked off together, some parts were funny and cringe , less cursing would have made the movie a lot better. An advise to the directors next time if you are going to make a highschool movie get dialog/ input from actual highschoolers I like it but it felt forced.

I honestly enjoy movies like these it was just a funny and raunchy teen movie. But it is a movie to leave in the background to be honest. Casting was odd though because the irl age difference w the love interests is 17 and 21. It also seems like it was very unoriginal and with time we should move on to new things. Ykwim? It just seems like Superbad and project X mixed together or something, as a group we need to move on from movies that are about wanting to go to "big kid parties" and find something new to enjoy. I think that is also only because the new actors these days are just different. I can't explain it but they are diff.

Four friends are starting high school. Misadventures begin. This is written and directed by Dave Chernin and John Chernin. The brothers are probably the most important people in this project. They did some Sunny in Philadelphia and co-created The Mick. That's why they got Kaitlin Olson. They seem to be going for Superbad and Project X. It's nowhere near as good as Superbad. Mostly, I don't love the four boys, but they are young enough to play high schoolers. It is odd that they are all going with older ladies. The lead coupling is cute and that's most appealing story. Benji should do his singing with all the marker marks on his face. That would be funnier. The movie is fine, but it's always a little less than optimal. The creepy kid has a creepy encounter. I would have paired him up with someone scary and scared him straight and maybe she could protect him from the older brother. Again, that would be funnier. The two spares has a surprisingly PG time with the school hottie. I'm not a fan of poop jokes and her poop looks like mustard. The general idea of this movie is fine, but I would modify some of this. I appreciate what Cannavale is trying to do, but his character needs to be a socially-awkward science nerd and I don't buy him in that. This movie has its moments.

If I could take a Time Machine back to the first time I saw Superbad and hyperventilated during the dick treasure chest scene after watching this load of a movie I would. It was a simpler time. Better time. Before the internet took over the world and the only influencer was your favorite foul mouthed dude from Apatow's crew. This movie tries too hard. It has a few funny moments. Some of the actors seem way too young for it. I wish that the writers would figure out how to make funny movies again. Superbad. Knocked up. This is 40. Funny People. Anything with heart and filth.

I miss the 2000's.

Skip it unless you're bored.
