What is My Old Ass about?
This Prime Video comedy is seriously sweet
My Old Asss biggest strength is its likeability.
Maisy Stella plays Elliot as a little brash and immature (she is only 18!
), but also kind-hearted and easy to root for.
Shes a charming lead, and the character’s good-natured sense extends to the rest of the movie.
This results in an ending note that fails to emotionally connect.
But if youre looking for an uncomplicated comedy, its hard to see My Old Ass disappointing you.
On the review aggregate siteRotten Tomatoes, it holds a 91% score from more than 171 reviews.
However, quick-to-cry viewers might find themselves shedding a few tears in the third act.
Meanwhile, Christy Lemire ofRogerEbert.comlabeled it authentic and declared director Megan Park breathes new life into a familiar genre.
Its a perfect pleasant coming-of-age comedy with likable characters and a good-natured narrative.
Its not the most ambitious movie, but it plays to its strength and is very endearing.
I suspect the movies shorter runtime will also be a plus to many potential viewers.
