Netflix has released the official trailer for upcoming comedy Senior Year, led by Aussie export Rebel Wilson.ĆĀ
The film has Wilson (keeping her Aus accent) playing a popular cheerleader who falls into a 20-year coma and wakes up as a 37-year-old woman. She decides to return to high school to regain her status and get that prom queen crown – a mission that won’t be as easy as she imagines. Things are a little different from what she remembers.
The trailer actually suggests a pretty tame, almost family-friendly comedy, up until an F-bomb towards the end of it made me check out the film’s US classification: R for sexual material, language and brief teen drinking/drug use. A bit of an edgy touch can bode well for a comedy like this. Still… that may not be an indicator of anything, really.
The comedy was directed by Alex Hardcastle, a longtime television helmer and producer whose credits include Grace and Frankie, Love, Victor, and Superstore. The script was penned by actor-turned-writer Brandon Scott Jones (The Other Two), Andrew Knauer (The Last Stand, Ghost Team One), and Arthur Pielli (Ghost Team One).
