First-year students’ struggles are expected to be tenderly and humorously portrayed in this film, directed by the well-known brothers Dave and John Chernin. Everything you need to know about the release and the reasons you should be excited is right here.
A Comedy You will Be Happy to See
The story of Incoming follows four first-year high school students as they overcome chaos and hurdles to successfully navigate their first big school dance. Incoming promises a new take on the genre with lots of laughs and relatable moments, inspired by the Chernin brothers’ own experiences as well as iconic high school comedies like Superbad and Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
In their directorial debut, Dave and John Chernin—known for their work on The Mick and It is Always Sunny in Philadelphia—bring their distinctive comedic flair. The film offers a distinctive take on the classic high school comedy by fusing the wild and unpredictable nature of high school parties with a story about early-life identity crises.
Bringing the Comedy to Life with the Cast
A mix of inexperienced and seasoned performers make up the Incoming cast, which gives the narrative nuance and humor. Mason Thames plays Benji Nielsen, the main freshman who has to navigate the mayhem of the party. Bardia Seiri, Raphael Alejandro, and Ramon Reed portray his mischievous friends and partners beside him.
Veteran performers like Bobby Cannavale and Kaitlin Olson contribute their comedic skills to the movie. Olson, best known for her part in It is Always Sunny in Philadelphia, lends her distinct comic flair to the character as Benji’s mother. Bobby Cannavale adds to the film’s dynamic cast with his vast experience in comedy and drama.
The chemistry and individual talents of the ensemble cast create a vibrant and engaging atmosphere, guaranteeing that Incoming will be full of laughs and memorable moments.
Why “Incoming” Is Different
The unique combination of raunchy humor and poignant storytelling in Incoming sets it apart from other high school comedies. The comedic and poignant script written by the Chernin brothers tackles issues of friendship, adolescent identity, and the difficulties of high school life. The hectic high school party that serves as the movie’s setting is the ideal setting for these themes, offering a mix of touching and humorous moments.
The filmmakers’ earlier work on The Mick and It is Always Sunny in Philadelphia had a big impact on Incoming. The film is a novel and captivating interpretation of the genre thanks to their skill at fusing humor with realistic situations. You should have an equally good time with Incoming if you liked their earlier works.
