I felt that having Fred Durst playing himself in a supporting role was a reference to "Zombieland" and Bill Murray. The nostalgic elements were fun, but it felt like wasted potential.

I remember Y2K. I was a middle schooler, me and my mom were walking through the grocery store. Looking back, it was funny. Because my mom was just calmly buying the usual stuff off the shelves, while other people were freaking out, rushing inside and buying up cans and water 😂
I asked my mom if she was worried, and my mom just calmly responded “no hon, I’ve lived through worse, and ain’t nothing gonna happen”.

I was 15 then, and I heard about some issues that may happen, but obviously, none of them came to pass.

It was the best new year celebration I've seen though

[trinaq]

I was only a year old in 1999, so I have BARELY any memories of the late 90's. I could honestly watch this cast in a straight coming of age story, minus the horror disaster elements.

[gjin]

I was the same age as the kids in this movie (17) and I went to London Bridge and there was millions of people and we watched fireworks and listened to music 🎉🎉 it was pretty cool. I had a good time with this film. I found it funny and super nostalgic

[Mysticalstar]

I totally agree! Best part was all the nostalgia for me with the music, movie rental places, and internet aspect especially ❤️ but I didn’t love it but didn’t hate it :)

A movie in a time without iphones. Good times

[DragonKnight]

Did anyone notice the scene at the video store had "Mr. Deeds" on a shelf which was released in 2002

[FrenchCreekFilms]

I was 32. Lol. I remember that absolutely nothing dramatic happened. I don't remember anyone I knew being fearful. I do remember people arguing about if 2000 years happened at 2000 or 2001. It was a silly time that sold a few more newspapers. Still, I'd probably watch this just for a laugh.

[chrismcdonald]

You said it better than me! I really wanted to love this, I was 11 in 1999 and I remember the fear combined with excitement for a new millennium, but this movie didn’t capture much of anything! The humor NEVER landed for me, the horror NEVER worked and the sci-fi elements were sloppy. I really didn’t find much of anything to like here, really disappointed. The best characters die pretty much FIRST!

[jasongoode]

I agree completely! I remember being 5 during that time and the world was just as I remembered. I felt the nostalgia was great, the downside is I felt it should have been more realistic and Danny was the best character in there who should have been utilized more! :D

[lissyus]

I was 20 and my dad worked for the creators of JAVA. Big computer company. He and his team were required to be there on New Years Eve and stay until they either knew it would be ok or until 1999 turned 0000 and ruined the world !!!! That year sucked.

[stewieboo]

I was 6. All I remember is hating school and being bullied. I was mad dumb. But I also had amazing parents who let me do what I love - watching movies and playing videogames. I also remember hearing things like we'd be living in space by 2001 and have flying cars and robots. Pretty sure I started saving for a real-life R2D2.

[trappedcat]

I was a teen during Y2K and my sister happened to see a rocket or meteorite in the sky that night. She thought for sure it was a nuke targeting our local town and then broke down crying in terror. We all laughed and tried to calm her down. 😅

Review "Better Watch Out" from 2016 for a Christmas horror

[paradisecityable]

This feels more like a Blumhouse movie than an A24 movie

[DrGregoryHouseIT]

Well, I was just 14, so I didn't know much about this... But I'm still sad about the missed potential.

[anubusx]

The Simpsons Halloween already did this.

[OrionInSpace]

Review Interstellar again since it seems like that’s the movie of the weekend.🙏

[Mrdavis]

Honestly, I enjoyed the movie because it was exactly what I expected or a little more. I went in thinking I wasn't going to laugh once, and just a whole lot of outdated references. It was decent. If I never watched it again, I would be ok with that. If I had to watch it again, it wouldn't bother me at all
