“Imagine an SNL Sketch blended with apocalypse vibes, nostalgia, technology, and 90s insanity blended together, mixed up with a bunch of acids that makes things chaotic and all over the place. Thatu0026#39;s what Y2K is, but the opposite of good.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eKyle Mooney puts all his efforts with the direction, writing and atmosphere approach on the setting and narrative and he does offer some fun vibes of a disaster comedy. Including good production designs and a good setting. The performances from Jaeden Martell, Julian Dennison, and Rachel Zegler are pretty solid but nothing really stood out.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eUnfortunately, the movie does feel like a satire that doesnu0026#39;t take itself seriously, but the issue was itu0026#39;s repetitive atmosphere, direction, and characters that are poorly handled drags the movie down a lot. Almost having most of the charm of the 90s and non-serious fun to feel blown away into nothing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt feels like Mooney is creating a new Superbad and a satire of the trashy 90s comedy, but kind of misses the point of what made them good and makes it repetitive.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s not great. I like Brigsby Bear, Iu0026#39;m happy to see Mooney still being able to make works of dumb fun but this wasnu0026#39;t it.”
