Lies! In! Advertising! Alert! for My Old Ass.

The trailer and poster sell this new movie as an Aubrey Plaza buddy-comedy…

Except she’s barely in it; the trailer is built around one of her only two scenes.  

Instead, My Old Ass is a portrait of Gen-Z life, a portrait that comes into view through gauging how it riffs on the conventions of the age-old coming-of-age genre.

Dìdi is to Millennials what My Old Ass is to Gen-Z?

That’s what I love about these coming-of-age movies, man. I get older, the coming-of-agers stay the same age.
