I wanted to end the weekend with something light and funny, and here I am crying about something that doesn't even actually happen in the movie.
I'm a sucker for a good coming-of-age film. My Old Ass wasn't what I expected (which was something funnier, raunchier, and with a lot more Aubrey Plaza), but I like it as it is. It is marching to the beat of its own drum, with the protagonist being visited by her future self. It's never explained, and that's weird, but I don't mind.
My only complaint is that I think it was a misstep to for Elliott to be a lesbian prior to falling in love with Chad. She has one conversation with a friend afterwards about being confused about it, but overall they don't explore it enough for it to be the right move.
(Additional minor complaint: Why name the guy Chad? That's literally the worst guy. Source: Me.)
