Kyle Mooney nails plenty of historical detail in “Y2K,” his 2000-set eve of his directorial debut, but a series of references to surge soda, Tae Bo, dial-up noises and Nintendo 64s don’t make a movie.

Here, the “SNL” alum — known for his lo-fi shorts that were strange even by 12:50 “SNL” standards — takes on far more in this sloppy mix of high school comedy and disaster film, than he can deliver. It might have made a decent “SNL” sketch, but as a feature film it absolutely falls apart.

Jaeden Martell (“It” and its sequel) is Eli, a shy high school outsider who dreams of meeting Laura (Rachel Zegler), the popular girl in his class. Does the “xoxo” she sent him on AIM mean what he thinks?

Eli and his wild sidekick Danny (Julian Dennison) go to a New Year’s Eve party in hopes that Eli will make it. But in this film’s imagination, the Y2K virus is real, and when the clock strikes midnight, the household appliances and machines turn against the partygoers, causing havoc for humanity, or at least the few dozen people in the film’s world.
