by

As a seasoned observer and participant in the labyrinthine world of adolescence, I must say that “Incoming” resonates deeply with my own high school experiences. The film masterfully captures the essence of teenage life, from the frenzied pursuit of acceptance to the agonizing journey towards self-discovery.

We journey through a spirited pack of high school freshmen learning to steer through the treacherous waters of friendship, self-awareness, and a rabid desire for acceptance in the engaging comedy of growing up, Incoming. 

The movie, brimming with emotion and wit, beautifully portrays the spirit of adolescence and the bumpy journey towards self-discovery that many young individuals encounter. Additionally, it explores themes such as finding one’s place, trying to fit in, or striving to look like the popular group.

As the story nears its peak at Danah’s senior party, a crucial query lingers: Will Danah, played with heartfelt humor by Mason Thames, and his friend Connor be able to leave behind their nerdy pasts and become the popular teens in high school?

In a nutshell, the charming main character Ben, who goes by Benj, is determined to express his feelings for his sister’s friend Bailey (played by Isabella Ferreira) at a gathering. His strategy to capture her heart involves a mix of courage and mishaps, reminiscent of traditional teenage schemes. Simultaneously, Danah and Connor, propelled by their own high school aspirations, are on a quest to reshape their social status.

In my own tale, I found myself chasing after popularity in an unconventional way, Danah here. Hoping to earn a spot among the senior students, I concocted a fake romance – a scheme that was as misguided as it was ambitious. The plan, I believed, would propel me into the cool crowd’s realm. Little did I know, things would take an unexpected and hilariously unfortunate turn.

Despite not involving grand physical changes, Connor’s experience undergoes a profound transformation. An unanticipated twist occurs as Connor and Eddie are mistakenly thought to be Uber drivers, resulting in a humorous, chaotic interaction with Katrina, the school’s most popular student. In this awkward situation, their display of kindness unexpectedly elevates their social standing at school. The moment when Katrina acknowledges and introduces Connor and Eddie into her circle signifies a subtle yet impactful change in their social position.

The movie concludes with an amusing and touching turn of events centered around Mr. Stude, the eccentric chemistry instructor. His outlandish behavior at the gathering, transgressing social norms, eventually resulted in him being let go.

Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning another significant element of the movie: Benj’s romantic journey, which, without a doubt, is as thrilling as a rollercoaster ride. At first, their bond appears promising, but their relationship soon faces hurdles. Among these challenges are an encounter with hoodlums and Benj’s misguided attempt to win Beiley over by using fake cocaine.

Despite facing obstacles like a rejected proposal and an unexpected kiss followed by a wink from Bailey during Benj’s public declaration, there seems to be lingering affection hinted between them. This dual narrative beautifully illustrates the unpredictable dynamics of teenage romance, combining humor with genuine feelings to emphasize the ups and downs of young love.
