'Y2K' Review

Kyle Mooney's directorial debut Y2K has released! I was super excited to see the film. Let's get to my thoughts:

Plot 5/10
Acting 7/10
Directing 5/10
Writing 7/10
Cinematography 5/10
Soundtrack 10/10
Effects 7/10
Lighting 4/10
Color 5/10
Emotional Impact 2/10

Overall: 57/100

Unfortunately, this didn't quite live up to the hype that I had for it. It was very oddly paced and slowed almost to a halt at certain moments. There were some good laughs in there, but the main cast struggled keeping the film alive. Every time Kyle Mooney and Fred Durst were on screen the thing came ALIVE, but when they weren't around it was really hard to keep paying attention and staying interested in what was going on. I hope Mooney keeps making movies because I think it's important for stuff like this to get made, produced, and widely released, even if they don't always do super well at the box office. The soundtrack was fantastic as it showed love to many 90s classics, but everything else in the movie was just kind of... meh. I wish I had more to say, but I would recommend going to see it with friends if you're just looking for a good time and an easy laugh.

Thanks for Sitting on the Sidelines!
