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.

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.

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!
