Mid90s: Middling Fun

It's 1994 and 13-year-old Stevie (Sunny Suljic) is living in L.A. with his bully of a brother and clueless mother. His life sucks until he meets a group of older teens into skateboarding. He hangs around until they welcome him into their slacker lifestyle.

The Movie Slut was hoping for lots of cool 90s music and nifty skateboarding. Alas she was disappointed on both accounts. And the banal, sophomoric conversations were quite a bore, particularly when the character nicknamed Fuck Shit opened his mind.

Still, there were scenes that elevated the film, including Stevie's Rocky-like attempts to master the skateboard, and an early morning scene in which the ragtag group skateboard along the median of a roadway as the day awakens.

The Movie Slut was not impressed by this flick written and directed by actor Jonah Hill. Perhaps she's not its target audience.
