Movie Thoughts: Summer of 69 (2025)
I've been watching a lot of these teen, coming of age stories recently. I don't know if there is a deeper reflection to be made for my own place in life, whether I'm nostalgic for a time when you can make "getting with x boy or girl" your whole personality because you don't have all these other responsibilities...or maybe I'm just tired and the light tone and quick dialogue of this genre is appealing to me more than watching something heavy.
This movie has such a strange premise, but it is honestly a fun ride. It is reminiscent of Superbad but with a lot more heart and a stronger underlying message.
Regardless, Summer of 69 was an enjoyable time with a lot of laughs. Well worth the watch.
