Senior Year: Fans of new Netflix comedy all say it's brought back the same millennial memories

Senior Year, starring the Australian actress Rebel Wilson, dropped on Netflix last Friday and immediately shot to the top of its trending charts. Senior Year stars a number of our favourite teen-movie actors and actresses, so it already had our hearts won over just reading the cast list.

There's Alicia Silverstone (duh, from Clueless!), Justin Hartley (ex husband of Selling Sunset's Chrishell), and then of course Rebel Wilson, who we love in the Pitch Perfect films.

The movie's synopsis reads: "A high-school cheerleader falls into a coma before her prom. Twenty years later, she awakens and wants to return to high school to reclaim her status and become prom queen." And those who've watched the movie already had basically one thing to say about it.

With so many references to the early 00s it seems fans are getting serious Millennial vibes: @Kelcynne_ said: "Senior Year on Netflix is so good I miss when movies like this were made in the early 00s" whereas @Slounsy found the music was giving those nostalgic feels: "The music from the movie Senior Year was pure nostalgia. I laughed out loud a lot. I miss these types of movies. Just slightly ridiculous and funny and carefree."

It's even endorsed by the Millennial Mentor herself. @AliciaSilverstone Tweeted: "Get ready for high school…again. So much fun filming this one @RebelWilson! Senior Year is so so so funny. You gotta give it a try this weekend!"
