Riley (Kensington Tallman) has just finished middle school and is headed to high school. Also, puberty has just struck! Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear, Anger, Sadness, and Disgust are satisfied with the personality that they have forged, but then new emotions arrive in the control room! Anxiety (Maya Hawke) immediately takes control and banishes the old emotions to the back of the mind. Riley's life goes into a tailspin as she tries to impress her future teammates on the hockey team, often at the expense of her longtime friends, Bree and Grace. In addition to Anxiety, Envy, Ennui, and Embarrassment enter the control room. Yes, it is a tough time for Riley. Can Joy and the old emotions restore Riley's old personality, or will the happy girl become an emotional wreck who hurts her friends to become popular?
Generally a good movie though the hyper-competitiveness felt more like a bunch of boys than girls. Maybe that's just me. It is also strange that the various emotions have emotions, most noticeable in the lead emotions: Joy and Anxiety.
Good popcorn fun.
