Why watch?

Mason Thames and the other freshman characters get thrown into every embarrassing possible moment of the first day of high school, and that's what carries the whole thing. Four freshmen try not to do something incredibly stupid, and each attempt just gets more humiliating. It's a light, quick film that doesn't pretend to be anything more — just wants to make you laugh for 92 minutes.

Who is it for?

This works for a weekend evening with school-age kids — the humor lands on multiple levels and the pacing keeps things moving. If they liked the first Super Mario Bros. Movie or The Lego Movie, it's got that same light, goofy vibe. Safe for younger viewers, no violence or strong language, though older kids will catch more of the specific jokes.

If you liked Incoming for its chaotic energy and the way it finds humor in a bunch of kids thrown into an awkward new situation, check out Detention or The Inbetweeners — they've got that same laugh track of social misfits just trying to survive their first days and the comedic mess that comes with it. SuperCrooks has a similar vibe of misfits figuring things out on their own terms.

Four freshmen decide to throw the party of the year on their first week of high school, and things spiral into absolute mayhem. Mason Thames, Ramon Reed, Raphael Alejandro, and Isabella Ferreira play kids who have zero idea what they've gotten themselves into — every decision makes things worse in hilarious ways. Directors Dave and John Chernin keep the energy frenetic and the jokes coming rapid-fire, like watching your friends' worst-case scenario unfold in real time. If you liked Superbad or Project X, this has that same vibe of teenagers versus one impossible night.
