This movie takes place in 2002 despite the incredibly 2022 setting. Nobody acts like 9/11 just happened. Not even the adults. Nobody is sad or paranoid. Nobody tackles or tazes the psycho mother during the scene where she gets onto school grounds without permission to give her 13 year old daughter her tampon pads.
The movie tries to make the mother look insane and unreasonable because she does not approve of child twerking or prostitution.
Then why set it in 2002? Why deliberately choose that year when you know you’re not going to honor the setting?
Lemme guess: one of the female writers is self-inserting and can’t fathom changing the year because that’s when she was the same age as the protagonist.

Those hacks don't know how to write a good movie so they pick their own IRL history(or how they'd want it: herstory barf ) to write something they pretend is so deep and talks about so much when it in fact is mostly about periods. Amy Schumer would be proud(and probably already stole some of it for her """"comedy"""").
they still want kids to relate to it to want to watch it
Yes, I want kids to relate to someone who effectively creates fucking cheese pizza to get money. Or were they hoping kids go "haha I own a cellphone too!"?
I watched He-man and GIjoe when I was young and never had trouble relating, even though they were grown ass men fighting wars I would never have to even live through.
What's a stretch is assuming the writers had a motive other than being retarded.

It takes place I'm 2002, but they still want kids to relate to it to want to watch it. Compromises needed to be made.

Winner winner chicken dinner!
Like, what else could it be?

It is based on the film director's experience. She is Asian from Canada.
Self insertion lmao

They were hoping to plant the idea that kids can get money for taking pictures of themselves.
"It takes place in 300 B.C., but they still want car enthusiasts to relate to it, so Caesar has a Camaro S.S. with a 450".
Is a hell of a take.
That's a bit of a stretch. This movie's target audience is clearly young. I reason still stands.
off topic: I kinda wish we had more films based in Ancient Rome. Feels like a missed opportunity.
