Carla Hay Culture Mix 10/21/2021
This Is the Year is yet another vapid teen romantic comedy about a nerd who's pining over his dream girl ... Expect to see a lot of annoying characters played by people who look too old to be in high school. Go to Full Review

It's heart's in the right place, and while I wasn't completely smitten with it, I thought it was cute. It was enjoyable and watchable. Go to Full Review
Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 09/24/2021
Finding the slightest of loopholes in romantic comedy formula, this mildly amusing trifle subverts genre cliches past and present, but remains predictably derivative. Go to Full Review

6.5/10
A little more daring and I think this film would have impressed even more. But hey, it's still a feel-good time. Go to Full Review
Nathaniel Muir AIPT 09/23/2021
Filled with strong performances and likable characters the story pushes all the right buttons but lacks the proper tension. Go to Full Review

Em T 10/31/2024 Super cute! Watched with my kids, fun co-viewing family experience See more Clayton C 10/07/2024 So fun! Easy viewing. See more Kara F 08/12/2024 Waste of time. Cringed my way thru but and had to give up 1 hr in because life is just too short. All the characters were vapid af but special mention to all the girls giving big pick me! energy. Half a star because zero is not an option 🤮. Not sure who was paying off the positive reviews. See more Kat M 04/07/2024 Godawful attempt to rehash some classic 80s teen movies. The female characters are horribly written and just don't hit. The whole thing is a cringe-ridden mess. Absolutely avoid! See more Blue R 03/02/2024 Embarrassingly bad, these people should just give up on movies if this is the best they got. Obviously mid 20s actors acting out a cringe inducing hideous teen movie. Read it in a couple of other reviews but the female characters sunk the ship. Badly written so the actors never really stood a chance. Like really bad. Don't bother ! See more Brianna S 02/29/2024 Probably the worst movie I've ever seen - only watch it if you need something to send you to sleep. Still cringing for all involved, meant to be teens but they all look way too old and the girls are annoying asf. See more Read all reviews
