 Everyone got a brand new movie review for you guys today and today. I'm discussing Jonah Hills directorial debut mid 90s We start this review off with saying I was really excited to see this movie one because Jonah Hills like one of my favorite actors and Knowing that it's finally gonna step in as a director and also write his own movie that got me excited I hear he's not gonna be in it here. It's kind of a comedy, but also a coming-of-age film I'm all about it. Then I hear it's about skating which is a lot of what my childhood was and This film hit me in a lot of different spots. This film is literally my childhood and I loved every single moment of it, you know I decided to pull out my little skateboard right here. This is my first skateboard. I bought with my own money and It's seen some days, but I've kept it for so long because I have so many memories with it And I absolutely love it. I wanted to share it with you guys again. If this is your first time catching on my videos Thank you so much for watching. It means a ton to me. I hope you like this review If you're new I like talking movies and make sure that like and subscribe button if you guys enjoy this But seriously Jonah Hill you have crafted an excellent movie here One of the best things that Jonah Hill did get throughout this whole entire film was Crafting such a great coming-of-age story because the whole story follows Stevie a 13-year-old in 90s era La who spends his summer navigating between his troubled home life and a group of new friends that he meets at a motor Avenue skate shop It just felt so right and Jonah Hill crafts this film in a very unique way in a sense You know, we've seen coming-of-age stories before we've seen the troubled teams. We've seen the troubled homes We've seen skateboarding films before but the thing that Jonah Hill gets in here and gets it right is making you feel Like you're one of the kids in this group making you feel like your friends with all these groups of kids I had like my friends growing up I knew one of them were at least each and every one of these guys and it just felt so relatable in that essence It felt like I was there and I even looked like Stevie in a sense. I had long hair I wore baggy jeans. I would try to skate but I couldn't and sometimes I got better when I got older But it just felt relatable in that sense and Sonny Solicic who plays Stevie in here is just a bright star This kid is such a good actor and he portrayed everything he was doing so well You know kid performances are hit or miss and I think Sonny everything I've seen him in so far He's done great, but this is easily his best performance going to Lucas Hedges next who's plays Ian his older brother who just is a dick. I I You kind of understand why he is in that way And that's I it's kind of a pro and con for me, which I'll get into my cons in a second But I mean the big other standouts be had Sonny as Stevie is all the other skater kids You have the Cal Smith who plays Ray all imprinted who plays f shit Geo Galicia plays Ruben and Ryder McClellan who plays fourth grade You just bring they all bring their essence to them. I have never seen them anything from what I understand I think this is actually their first movie. They've ever been in and it just totally works You totally believe in these kids You totally believe that they're skaters and everything that they're doing it just feels relatable down to the bone I think one of the most strong things about this film isn't just the directing and the way that John Wrote this film but within the score Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross made the score for this and it is excellent There's only like four or five songs throughout it that are Intertwined within the film but when they're there they're there and there's something unique one of the best scores I've heard all year long and Jonah Hill curated the whole entire soundtrack up here from the 90s It's what he used to listen to and it just adds to that flavor It really feels like Jonah Hill put his heart and passion into this film It's a passion project of his feel it while you're watching this movie as him being a first-time director Not everyone gets it perfectly on the spot and as much as I love this film There are a couple nitpicks. I do have with it one of the things is is I think the film is a little too short I think you could have easily added 20 minutes or more to the runtime of this to get more development with Stevie's family I wanted a little bit more with his mom with his brother and I want a little bit more again with that troubled home life I feel like there was stuff about his brother where you just feel like he's a dick But he there's one dialogue scene sentence where Lucas hedges is giving this monologue and talking about how his childhood was before Stevie was born and I feel like there's more layers to it that I think they should have gone into And same with the mother you wanted a little bit more of Catherine in there being this motherly role And I understand it is mostly about Stevie It's his coming of age story and him becoming this kid and who he is and trying to find his place in this world Which again, we've seen this in coming of age films before and Jonah Hill tackles it in a very different way And I very creative way at that sense, but I wanted a little bit more of the family life I think it was something essential that we needed and I would have liked to leave in a little bit more with the skater gang I think it was just so charismatic values that it brought to the screen just ooze off and again Make you feel like you're one of them size at nitpick Jonah Hill did a great job directing the hell out of this film He wrote an excellent movie. I absolutely enjoyed the hell out of mid 90s I think it's such a realistic feeling movie that just makes you feel like you're one of these skater kids Maybe that is not how it is for you, but I could totally relate to this movie just with how I was growing up I literally was Stevie. I felt like Stevie that is exactly how it was It's like Jonah Hill watched me growing up and wrote a film about me as a child I love this film from beginning to end and with all that said I'm gonna give mid 90s and a You search out this one near you guys It's getting a little bit wider release this weekend, so please tell me down below guys What are your thoughts on mid 90s where you guys excited about it?
