| 07.29.24 | airplane | After The Boys in the Ding-Dang Boat I had to pick a 90-minute movie to finish before we landed so I gave this a shot. It's a Gen Z Lesbian Highschool comedy. I still haven't seen Bodies Bodies Bodies but I imagine that to be a Gen Z slasher and I liked Rachel Sennott in whatever youtube video I saw her in where she and Ayo Edibiri are single. What I liked maybe most about this movie is how unhinged the world is. It's like a high school comedy set on a wobbly warped record where the very foundation of reality is constantly distorting. Yes that undercuts any moments where they attempt to have real emotion, but allows for whatever batshit crazy thing they want to do with the comedy. This is probably a weak metaphor but if Heathers is a prototypical Gen X comedy and Hot Rod is a prototypical millenial comedy, this might be a prototypical Gen Z comedy? Maybe? What do I know, I'm old as shit. I didn't love this movie (I'm in no way saying it's as funny as Hot Rod or as acerbic as Heathers) but I did enjoy its sensibility. |
