No one wants to meet their old ass before their ready. But one mushroom trip pushes Maisy Stella into direct contact with her aging posterior.
In My Old Ass, Stella plays Elliott, a young girl exploring the many psychedelic adventures the world has to offer before hitting the books in college. On a camping trip where she and her friends indulge in the hallucinatory food poisoning known as mushrooms, Elliot gets an unexpected visitor: her aforementioned 39-year-old ass, played by Aubrey Plaza. As the elder Elliot, Plaza warns her younger self about the future, encourages her to make stronger familial bonds, and, oh, yeah, stay the hell away from any guy named Chad (Percy Hynes White). Unfortunately, when she meets Chad, who has that hair, Plaza’s old-ass advice goes out the window.
It’s all in the trailer for My Old Ass, the new coming-of-age comedy from actor/director Megan Park. Park is probably best known as Grace Bowman on The Secret Life Of The American Teenager. Old Ass is her second film, following The Fallout, a 2021 drama about a fictional school shooting starring Jenna Ortega. That film was released on HBO Max in early 2022, but My Old Ass is coming to theaters on September 13.
