What to expect from the movie Senior Year?

Senior Year follows Stephanie, a popular cheerleader who is at the top of her game and appears unstoppable. But her life takes a wild turn when crazy jealousy and an unfortunate stunt failure results in her falling into a coma for 20 years.

When she recovers, she is left visibly bewildered as the world around her is very different from the times she lived in. Yet, she musters up the courage to return to school again in 2022 to complete last year of high school.

However, returning to her senior year at 37 and attempting to win the prom queen again does not prove to be as easy as Rebel Wilson's character expects, and this is where the comedic plotline begins. The official synopsis for the Senior Year reads,

"A cheerleading stunt gone wrong landed her in a 20-year coma. Now she's 37, newly awake and ready to live out her high school dream: becoming prom queen."
