The F**k-It List full movie download
There's a single moment that rings true in Netflix's The F**k-It List, a teen movie that's somehow painfully schematic and yet not generic enough to be passable. After it's announced at school that the valedictorian protagonist, Brett (Eli Brown, Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists), has gotten into seven of the eight Ivies that he applied to, a random classmate calls him "the most boring kid in America." The rest of the movie finds Brett challenging that assessment, but the more he tries, the more it's proved correct.
"I blew high school," Brett concludes, because he set goals for himself, achieved them and is now positioned for a wide-open future limited only by the limits of his ambition and imagination. The Booksmart girls came to a similar conclusion after realizing they could've squeezed in a few dates and parties into their Type A study schedule. But they also saw college as part of a lifelong journey. The F**k-It List says "fuck it" to college because the film can't conceive of higher education as anything beyond fulfilling parental hopes. Intellectual curiosity — or the possibility of finding one's self through new ideas — simply doesn't exist in this universe.
Brett, his closeted friend Clint (Marcus Scribner) and his aspiring-model love interest Kayla (Madison Iseman) are graduating seniors, but the F**k-It List feels more like a midlife-crisis movie set unconvincingly at a high school, complete with a drone shot of a convertible ride on a winding beach road straight out of a car commercial. After Brett (implausibly) takes the fall for an (unlikely) prank that (ridiculously) blows up a school building, he's expelled — and all his college acceptances are withdrawn.
But he somehow keeps his waitlist position at Harvard, and much of the movie is dedicated to his parents' (Jerry O'Connell and Natalie Zea) efforts to get him admitted into their dream school for Brett instead of, I dunno, finding another institution that'll take in their accidental Ted Kaczynski and give him a high-school diploma. I am sorry to report that Zea's undisputed MILF-dom plays an outsized role in these efforts.
