'Senior Year' review: Rebel Wilson high school comedy flunks out

Talk about senioritis.

"Senior Year" is an insipid high school comedy about a varsity cheerleader who falls into a coma and awakens 20 years later and plots to claim the prom queen crown she missed out on. Do you find references to 2002 hilarious? Then this movie is your jam. Otherwise this dreadful fish out of water story is about as fresh as an episode of "The Jamie Kennedy Experiment," one of the few 2002 properties the movie doesn't mention by name.

Angourie Rice ("Mare of Easttown") plays Stephanie Conway, an Aussie transplant who ditches her boring friends and diets her way to popularity in high school in the early '00s. During a pep rally near the end of her senior year, she's dropped to the floor while performing a cheerleading routine and goes into a coma for 20 years.
