In this fresh coming-of-age story, an 18th birthday mushroom trip brings free-spirited Elliott (Maisy Stella) face-to-face with her wisecracking 39-year-old self (Aubrey Plaza). But when Elliott's "old ass" starts handing out warnings about what her younger self should and shouldn't do, Elliott realizes she has to rethink everything about family, love, and what's becoming a transformative summer.

Critics Consensus

A humorous cocktail with a twist of coming-of-age drama, My Old Ass doesn't throw out the wisdom with the reckless abandon of youth, and the effects are hallucinogenic.

Audience Says

Elevated by heartfelt performances from Maisy Stella and Aubrey Plaza, My Old Ass is a refreshing coming-of-age story that magically captures the contradicting essence of youth -- strong-willed, foolish and wise.

4/5

It takes all of Plaza’s weird chanting inflections and Stella’s exuberantly twitchy enthusiasm to make it pay off — but it does, with sly charm.

It's a simple idea... the thing is, that it's done with real tenderness and insight.

4/5

It’s a fun, silly premise, but while there’s no shortage of stoner humour, the film is deeper and considerably more satisfying than the drug-baked adolescent wisecracking might initially suggest.

At best, My Old Ass engages in a superficial and frequently regurgitated conversation about how labels can or don’t have to be used on an individual basis.

Park’s message about savoring every moment and not living on autopilot is universal. You’ll find her unique take on the traditional coming-of-age story really gives the genre renewed vim and vigor.

They’re both great in this film. The dude should have been given a different name other the Josh though.
