Y2K movie storyline. Kyle Mooney’s directorial debut Y2K starts as a clever millennial riff on life around the turn of the millennium with references to the era like the Macarena, AOL Instant Messenger, and needle drops galore. Jonah Hill—with two best friends, Eli (Jaeden Martell) and Danny (Julian Dennison) who are trying to find the best party on the New Years Eve that everyone told us would be the end of the world.
Anyone old to remember the anxiety leading up to the turning of the calendar to 2000 will enjoy the set-up for “Y2K,” as will anyone old enough to remember the catchiness of “Thong Song.” Eli and Danny talk about which girls at school they want to hook up with and Eli has his eyes on the charming Laura (Rachel Zegler). All these crazy kids end up at a house party with a number of broad, funny personalities. And then all Hell breaks loose.
