[Madeline Everleigh]

“My Old Ass,” a coming-of-age story with a twist, is poised to tug at our heartstrings and tickle our funny bone. Written and directed by actress Megan Park, the film explores the universal yearning to rewind the clock and offer our younger selves invaluable advice.The Sundance Festival darling, boasting a near-perfect 92% score on Rotten Tomatoes, takes us on a journey with Elliott (Maisy Stella), a teenager on the cusp of self-discovery. On the verge of a pivotal life experience, Elliott embarks on a wild ride, literally and metaphorically. Fueled by a shared experience with magic mushrooms, Elliott finds herself face-to-face with another woman named Elliot (played by the ever-charming Aubrey Plaza). This older Elliot, radiating an effortless coolness, dispenses advice that feels more like warnings from a weathered future. The shocking realization dawns on Elliott: this older version is none other than herself, 21 years down the line. My Old Ass Trailer Future-Elliott throws a lifeline, urging her younger self to avoid certain paths, specifically a boy named Chad.

The scene where she tries to seduce her older self, asking her if they can is a bit creepy.

There is a novel titled the man who folded himself and its a time travel story, The main character had sex with himself. He even became polyamorous with lots of them. That reminds of the scene from the trailer of this movie.

Whoa, this movie My Old Ass sounds trippy! Time travel and self-advice? I'm totally there. Aubrey Plaza as a cynical future self? Sign me up! Maisy Stella is such a talented young actress too

As a huge fan of coming-of-age stories, My Old Ass definitely has me intrigued. The whole idea of a teenager meeting their older self is such a cool concept. This movie seems like it will be both heartwarming and thought-provoking. I'll definitely be checking it out in September.

Magic mushrooms, future selves, and questioning your whole life path? That's the kind of heady exploration I crave. I'm all about embracing the unknown, even if it means making mistakes. The idea of a younger me getting advice from a hardened future version is fascinating, but also a little scary. Would I want to know what choices led me where I am? Maybe the journey is just as important as the destination, regrets and all. This movie feels like it might spark some serious soul-searching.

Elliot stands at a crossroads. In one hand, she holds the wisdom of her future self, a roadmap seemingly paved with good intentions. Future-Elliott, with her effortless coolness and warnings, offers a glimpse into a life devoid of certain regrets. The allure is undeniable – who wouldn't want to avoid mistakes? Yet, in the other hand, lies the wild, untamed tapestry of her own choices. It's a future built on stumbles and victories, a story waiting to be written.

The internal war rages. A part of Elliot craves the safety of a pre-determined path. Avoiding Chad, the boy Future-Elliott cautions against, seems like a logical step. But another voice whispers – is this borrowed life truly hers? Can self-discovery truly blossom without the freedom to make her own choices, even if they lead to heartbreak?

Aubrey Plaza as a whole different middle-aged person in "My Old Ass"? Seriously? Feels like just yesterday I was crushing on her deadpan delivery in Parks and Rec. Now she's dispensing life advice from the future? Maybe I am officially old...

But hey, at least it proves she's a phenomenal actress, able to totally transform into different roles. Plus, if she's rocking middle age like that, maybe there's hope for the rest of us!

If you change your past, wouldn't that create a whole new set of problems? The butterfly effect, man! Still, the idea of encountering your future self is a classic sci-fi trope for a reason. There's something inherently fascinating about seeing how your choices play out over time.

My theory, She is Lesbian, thats why her older self ask her to avoid the boy named Chad
