"Sid is Dead"

2023 * Not Rated * 1h 30m  "Another teen, coming-of-age rom/com,"  you're probably saying. Nope. Not by a long shot. Just when you think you've seen it all, a refreshing take on high school comes along. And what a fun outing this one proved to be. 

Sid (Joey Bragg) just wants to get through high school unscathed. In order to do so, his mantra is to stay under the radar. By not attracting attention, he figures everything will turn out okay. However, one day he called the class bully Chuck a douchebag. And that becomes is undoing. Or more accurately, his doing. Before the bully is sent off to anger management camp, he vows to kill Sid when he returns. 

So Sid figures since he only has a couple weeks to live, he might as well try anything and everything. He works his way through his personal bucket list and has an absolute blast doing it. He surprises himself by just how much fun he has. And he becomes a role model for a lot of his classmates. If you're looking for a different take on high school movies, don't miss this one!
