Critics consensus

“In spite of a premise that promises to highlight Rebel Wilson with the appropriate level of pomp and circumstance, Senior Year is strictly remedial.”

It's hard to imagine a more unpleasant movie than "Senior Year."

“Senior Year” is not an ambitious movie, but it’s mostly a sweet one, and frequently funny.

RTChicago Sun-TimesMay 14, 2022

Rebel Wilson is inherently funny and she manages to wring a few laughs out of the sitcom script, but the thin plot is stretched out by the inclusion of multiple dance numbers...

Feeble attempts at absurdist comedy fall flat in a film that fails to weave its stabs at earnest emotion together with confused commentary that has nothing new to say about high school or its social hierarchies.
