Where to Watch The Senior
The Senior Ratings & Reviews
- HakihikoJanuary 6, 2026Competent and Entertaining, but Falling Short of Its Potential "The Senior" is a movie that rides comfortably in the realm of solid entertainment - not particularly memorable, but far from unenjoyable. It delivers enough charm and engagement to keep you watching, even if it never truly distinguishes itself or reaches the level of depth it seems to aspire to. On the positive side, the film is competently made. The performances are earnest and grounded, which helps the characters feel relatable and sincere even when the script doesn't dig very deep. There are moments that entertain and offer genuine warmth, lending the story an easygoing vibe that works well enough in the context of its intentions. Visually and technically, "The Senior" does what it needs to. The direction is steady, the pacing keeps things moving, and the tone is consistent. The movie's strengths lie in its simplicity - it never tries to be bigger or more dramatic than it truly is, and in that restraint there's a certain likability. Where the film stumbles is in its narrative. The plot hits all the expected beats, mostly without surprises, and the emotional arcs don't always land as strongly as they should. There's nothing inherently wrong with the story, but it skirts depth and complexity, leaving the experience feeling a bit light and familiar rather than meaningful or standout. In the end, "The Senior" is a pleasant watch with solid performances and a likable tone, but it lacks the spark or originality that would elevate it beyond a modest watch.
- wonderrxjrJanuary 2, 2026It's crazy how the Colts literally tried this shit with Philip Rivers. Also, nice try. I see that poorly edited B-Roll of the IU Memorial Stadium parking lot tailgate. That is not whatever Texas university this is, that is clearly an Indiana University tailgate
