The hilarious first trailer for My Old A**, starring Maisy Stella and Aubrey Plaza, debuted Thursday.
The coming-of-age comedy-drama stars rising star Maisy as 18-year-old Elliott, who spends her last summer on her family’s blueberry farm before heading off to college in Toronto.
After a magic mushroom-induced mishap, Elliott meets his future self (Plaza), who warns him not to fall in love with a visiting worker on his father’s farm, played by Wednesday’s student Percy Hynes White.
“I’m pretty attractive for a middle-aged man,” the younger Elliott tells the older Elliott, to which the latter jokes, “I’m a young adult.”
Written and directed by Megan Park, My Old A** also stars Maddie Ziegler and Kerrice Brooks, and is produced by Margot Robbie.

However, when she runs into Chad (Percy Hynes White), the very person she’s supposed to be avoiding, her plans become complicated.
