In 2025, Lelanna would’ve posted her Pizza Hut collab all over her socials and Troy would’ve used “Reality Bites” to make his cover of “Add it Up” go viral - and Vicky would’ve been poached to American Eagle.
Once upon a time - there was nothing worse than being called a sell-out. Now the value of the “grind and hustle” has become paramount.
So much to unpack in this film — from the phone free, cigarette smoke filled, hang outs - to the great fashion. But this revisit left me far more sympathetic to Michael - who is a college dropout and a striver. Should he be with Lelanna? Probably not. But he’s just as young and lost as any of them.
