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.

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

Cinemalogue

Finding the slightest of loopholes in romantic comedy formula, this mildly amusing trifle subverts genre cliches past and present, but remains predictably derivative.

A little more daring and I think this film would have impressed even more. But hey, it's still a feel-good time.

Rated: 6.5/10

Filled with strong performances and likable characters the story pushes all the right buttons but lacks the proper tension.

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.

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!

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 !

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

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.
