    15 Times "Senior Year" Referenced The '90s And 2000s Flawlessly

    Clearly, the filmmakers love three things:Bring It On, Britney Spears, andClueless.

    Netflix's newest comedy film,Senior Year, is an ode to teen movies and '90s/2000s culture. It's 100 minutes of perfect, nostalgic silliness, and possibly Rebel Wilson's best role ever.

    我本人是这个时代的孩子,所以这种怀旧的超负荷使我感到高兴。这是整部电影中所有参考文献的列表:

    1.The film's soundtrack is FULL of early-2000s throwbacks, naturally.

    2.It also includes "A Moment Like This," which is a shoutout to when Kelly Clarkson won the first season of美国偶像in 2002.

    3.啦啦队和舞会选举是非常重要的Senior Year,它与无数90年代和2000年代的青少年电影共享。

    4.The script has lots of references to miscellaneous things that were popular at the time, like MTV, VH1, Tamagotchi, andThe Real World.

    7.Stephanie thinks that a magazine cover of Lady Gaga is actually a picture of Madonna, which is a reference to their very famousfeud.

    9.Stephanie's style is an ode to the early 2000s, and you'll be able to spot LOTS of items that were super popular at the time.

    10。Tiffany's daughter goes by Bri, but her full name is Britney Jean. This is, of course, in honor of Britney Spears.

    11.斯蒂芬妮(Stephanie)教她的朋友一个舞蹈的例行活动,这部电影借此机会让叛军重新创建了布兰妮(Britney)的“(You Dive Me)Crazy”视频。

    12.Stephanie herself is clearly based on Cher fromClueless, which, incidentally, is one of the posters she has hanging in her room.

    13.Alicia Silverstone appears as Deanna Russo, a former prom queen who gives Stephanie some much-needed advice at her lowest moment.

    14.Stephanie gets to perform her original cheerleading routine from 2002 at her 2022 graduation, which means that the film joins countless others that end with a triumphant, if unnecessary, dance number.

    15.And finally, the credits feature the whole cast dancing and some bloopers, which all of theBring It Onmovies also did.

    16.Did you spot any other '90s and 2000s references in the movie? Please, do tell!
