Following a magic mushroom-induced mishap, Elliott encounters her future self (Plaza), who cautions her against falling for a visiting worker on her father's farm, portrayed by Wednesday alum Percy Hynes White.
'Im kind of hot for being middle-aged,' the younger Elliott tells the older Elliott, to which the latter quips, '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.
