This movie is a political correctness piece of trash. To have it compared to superbad is a disgrace. It's sad how the world has become so soft and oblivious to this trendy nonsense

Sadly I didn't walk out of "Booksmart" and I hope it is the worst movie I will see this year! I really have nothing positive to say about the cast except to ask if today's teens are really this vulgar, this dumb or is it the screenplay by 4 writers and the director showing them to be this way?

The worst part--and that is saying a lot--is the cringe-worthy performance and lines by Lisa Kudrow as a parent. We won't even talk about the 'father'!

Trying to be positive--and not understanding why-- Meta Critic had a 84% rating by critics and 5.6 out of 10 by the audience.

Please, please if you see it let me know what YOU think of "Booksmart" though you would be smart not to go!

synopsis

The story follows Dever and Feldstein's characters, two academic superstars and best friends who, on the eve of their high school graduation, suddenly realize that they should have worked less and played more. Determined never to fall short of their peers, the girls set out on a mission to cram four years of fun into one night.… Expand

I love Olivia Wilde, especially her performance in Drinking Buddies. I was really hopeful about her directorial debut. This comedy is not funny. There is no timing, no flow. The base premise, that these nerds want to party when they realize everyone else in their high school also got into amazing colleges while partying and screwing off, is silly, of course. But the flimsiness of it, especially because of no follow up, was sad. We kept waiting to laugh, but every performance was so stilted and every character so stereotyped (the over-the-top, effeminate gay theater boys, come on), we chuckled mildly once. After an hour, we walked out. We don't do that. It also made me think it may be a generational thing. But I really don't think so. We love these coming-of-age stories, from Superbad, American Pie, Clueless, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, even American Graffiti. This was just unfunny and bad.

I hope Ms. Wilde gets another shot at directing. But I really hope these ridiculous critic reviews don;t go to her head. Look at the mixed viewer reviews. When critic/viewer reviews are so misaligned, something is not right… Expand

( 57/100 )
.
La juventud que la actriz y directora Olivia Wilde presenta en "Booksmart" está llena de privilegios ignorantes y celebra los valores más incorrectos que justo la juventud necesita vencer y cambiar.
La cultura Pop ha producido films sobre la rebeldía, energía y desenfreno juvenil que, junto a films como "Superbad" (2007) y "Project X" (2012), solo fortalecen el estereotipo que la juventud americana se ha ganado: una sociedad de derroche y consumismo irresponsable e innutil.
Amy y Molly (Kaitlyn Dever y Beanie Feldstein), están a un día de graduarse de la preparatoria cuando se dan cuanta de lo tontas que fueron al estudiar y no salir de fiesta al mismo tiempo, por lo tanto deciden hacer de su última noche la más loca y aventurada de su preparatoria.
No es difícil identificarse con esa juventud, todos lo hemos sido y, al menos un poco, hemos sentido los privilegios de pertenecer y los miedos de ser minoría. El problema es que el guión asume que "pertenecer" es diversión, alegría y festejo, y lanza a sus actrices a una aventura que, en vez de disfrutar, las convierte en patéticos intentos de retroceder a una actitud primitiva. Asimismo promueve la actitud del exceso, el ceder a los impulsos sexuales y mentales, la desconfianza social y "soluciona" la idea de "comprar amigos" con romance. Aunque hay una secuencia de animación (que se puede quitar sin daño alguno), la escena que le da valor a la película (e, irónicamente, se enmudece) es un conflicto verbal que muestra el talento actoral de las protagonistas.
A pesar de que el film tiene la oportunidad de exponer un drama socio-cultural, prefiere optar por el camino cómico e inconsciente de su misma cultura. "Booksmart" es peligrosa y me causa pavor imaginar cuantos jóvenes pueden verla y querer crecer igualmente solo porque es "cool". No lo es, hay diferentes tipos de diversión, y entregarse a los impulsos es la forma más irresponsable de vivir.

The youth that the actress and director Olivia Wilde shows in "Booksmart" is full of ignorant privileges and celebrates the most incorrect values that the youth needs to overcome and change. The Pop culture has produced films about young rebellion, energy, and wildness that, along with films like "Superbad" (2007) and "Project X" (2012), just reinforces the american stereotype that youthhood has won: a society of waste and useless, irresponsible consumerism. Amy and Molly (Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein), are about to graduate from high school when they realize how foolish they were by studying and not going out to parties at the same time, therefore they decide to make their last night of high school, the most adventurous and crazy. It is not that hard to identify yourself with this youth, we all have been young and, at least a little, have felt the privileges of belonging and the fears of being an outcast. The problem is that the script assumes that "belonging" is fun, joy, and celebration, and throws their cast to an adventure that, instead of enjoying, it makes of them pathetic attempts of behaving in a primitive way. Likewise, it promotes excess behavior, giving in to the sexual and mental impulses, the social distrust and "resolves" the idea of "buying friends" with romance. Even though there’s an animation sequence (that can be taken out with no harm), the scene that gives some value to the movie (and, ironically, is muted) is a verbal conflict that shows the acting talent of the main cast. Despite the film has the opportunity of exposing a social-cultural drama, it prefers to take the comical and unconscious path of the same culture. "Booksmart" is dangerous and it makes me dread to imagine how many young people can see this and would want to grow up just like that because it's "cool". It's not, there are different types of fun and giving in to the impulses is the most irresponsible way of living.… Expand

But other than that, It's neither funny nor original. I have seen quite few films with this theme, or that are classified under this sub-genre (I haven't even seen Superbad), but I already found everything here quite familiar. The plot itself is clichéd, insipid, formulaic, and oversimplified. And you can clearly notice that at every single turning point in the story. And there are a lot in the second half, for it's very overstuffed, messy, and muddled. And that, of course, caused a lot of tonal imbalances.

I'm really frustrated because I thought I would see something like Lady Bird, Greta Gerwig's fantastic and highly auspicious directorial debut. But Booksmart seems to think it is much smarter then it actually is. I have to give Olivia Wilde points for making such an energetic and colorful film, though. Also, these flashes of wit I've mentioned above are all due to Wilde's direction. I do think she has a quite promising directorial career.

I can only imagine the writers concocting this story with one message in mind: make these characters quirky and also one dimensional. 'Quirky' is all they have going for them which makes them boring. Sure, there are messages of female empowerment yet it does nothing to propel a meaningful story. Tell a story. Come on. Here, each character broadcasts an over the top persona that is difficult to relate to. Initially, I liked that the one girl had a crush on a skater girl. Yet, we know nothing about her within the first forty minutes of the film. All we know of these highly educated outsiders is they are outsiders. That's it. Each scene only fosters a certain stereotype that is exagerated to the point of dullness. Slut girl acts like a slut. Dumb guy acts dumb. Rich kid acts rich. And the two friends are just two friends who find out the people they looked down on are actually goinst to prestigious schools. Wow, twist... So what is their motivation? To party. That's it? That's it. The whole wants vs. needs of screenplay writing 101 does not even happen here. They want to prove to people they don't care about that they can party as well. I mean, if the beginning of the film sets these two up as individuals who could care less about what others think of them, why would this matter? Their only character trait is they are indifferent to the opinions of others. And that is shattered because the movie needs to happen. These are screenplay ideas running around as supposed characters and nothing else. And on their journey they meet other purposelessy strange characters. There have been wonderful female friendship films with fleshed-out, wonderful and quirky characters. Think Romy and Michele's High School Reunion. If you want female empowerment and self-awareness, look no further than the seminal Thelma and Louise. I have loved three seasons of Glow on Netflix mainly because the writers care to build on the dynamics and relationship of the characters. But I could not make it through this forced and over the top film. I didn't laugh. I rolled my eyes as it felt like this film had the concept of something interesting and fun without actually following through on it.… Expand

I comment this because after finishing this film I found myself quite confused because many of the opinions that I was reading and that I was finding about the story of this film made me ask again and again what those people saw that I didn't.

Olivia Wilde basically made Superbad female version and that's not her fault. Well in a way it is because she chose that script to debut as a director but the rest is the fault of the writers because they were the ones who implemented this story but analyzing it, you will realize that you're practically watching the same film. The only difference is that the main characters in this case are women and they don't have a third character to finish the jokes like Fogell.

Although what interested the guys in Superbad was to get laid, the only difference with these girls is that they try to have fun considering that they apparently think they wasted their time in high school studying to the fullest trying to enter a good college.
Because apparently studying hard and not living at parties with drugs and alcohol is only a crime of the nerds. What a cliche isn't?

But it doesn't stop there. Once the story makes clear where is going, the path that follows is saturated with clichés until the ending.
I don't understand in what way anyone would tell me this is a fresh film, that it reinvents the genre, that it brings something new to the table because I didn't see it anywhere.

Does that mean it's a bad film? Actually bad wouldn't be the word I would chose but irrelevant.
I cannot deny in any way that more stories are needed with female characters, which obviously need more films directed by women.
That the voices of these women should be delivering strong stories and in general terms Booksmart has some of those things I mention.
The director is a woman, the main characters and screenwriters too and I applauded they have that opportunity and that they have the forum for people to see and hear their work but don't disguise the importance of that proposal with the results delivered because I personally think that Booksmart has nothing original or new and that isn't necessarily a bad thing because how many film exists that repeat thematics? However, most of the time that is stressed and criticized and I don't see why in this case it was different and it became acclamation.… Expand

That little movie that could wasIn 2007, a little coming of age-high school comedy, with a very modest budget of $20 million took the coming of age, modern high-school comedy canon by storm, and has yet to be trumped in over a decade. That little movie that could was Superbad, a film that was written by real-life best friend Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who, went on to becoming two of the most successful and prominent comedy writers of our generation. Generating real-life stories based on what happened to them, including the infamous period-blood dance scene, the cocaine-karaoke scene and other incredibly funny scenarios that we thought could ever happen in a million years, the two writers have a knack of garnering insatiable laughs with well-received, cortically and commercially successful films. Luckily for us, Superbad was a film that starred two breakout stars in Michael Cera and Jonah Hill, who would go on to becoming staples in the comedy world as well as the Seth Rogen’s comedy empire. But like all good things in this world, change is upon us. With the recent influx of female voices being heard and stories being told, we fast forward twelve years, and finally have our very own, female-centric Superbad with Booksmart. And as if destiny would have it, ironically enough, this kick-ass female story of missed opportunities and revelations delivers endless laughs, sometimes cries and funny enough, stars Jonah Hill’s little sister Beanie Feldstein. How’s that for a coincidence?

Directed by OIivia Wilde; yup, the actress of Tron, her and Drinking Buddies tackles directing duties and nails her debut feature film with so much heart, love and authenticity that Booksmart feels like a veteran comedy with constant one/two punch laughs, confidence and endless emotion. Stylistically relevant, adapting much of the real-life comedy that made the Rogen/Apatow comedies of the 2000s so successful, Wilde directs a script that has been in development for over a decade to reflect so many of the many truths of high-school youth today. Making the film contemporary with scenes including Uber, social media and of course implementing characters that aren’t only heterosexual, allows the film’s fresh vibes to come naturally off the screen, even if Amy and Molly’s (Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein) cool personalities don’t.

Booksmart is a movie that we have been waiting for, for a long time. The film’s hook may be a completely authentic female take on the high school experience, produced by Annapurna Pictures, headed by Megan Ellison, directed by a woman, starring two promising young female actresses, written entirely by women and edited by a woman, but I can assure you, these highly feminine factors are not the only reason to visit your multiplex this summer. Aside from being a female-centric comedy, after everything is said and done, it is a comedy, and I am here to attest to the fact that, it is really funny. Aside from the star-making performances of actresses Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever, writers Susanna Fogel, Emily Halpern, Sarah Haskins and Katie Silberman, deliver quippy, snappy and hilarious dialogue that highlights the very different, yet strikingly similar high school personalities of their characters, without making them caricatures of figures we have come to expect from the high school comedy genre. Each character depicted in Booksmart are culminations of so many different personalities; mixing gender, sexuality, religions, class and cultures into real life characters that not only become relatable, but also become memorable. Booksmart highlights that jocks JUST aren’t jocks, and the gay students JUST aren’t gay. Every person depicted in the film is a version of someone we all knew or currently know in real life.

Although there is an array of comedy from supporting characters, the majority of the laughs stems from the bond and chemistry between our two amazing leads. While Dever and Feldstein bring true laughs to their characters Amy and Molly, unfortunately, both Amy and Molly feel like they have been missing out on their high school shenanigans. So, on the last day of high school before their graduation, Amy and Molly decide to go for it, and indulge in all the craziness that is high school, in one night. As expected, hilarity, craziness and debauchery ensues, and the two bets friends find themselves in very different places by the end of the night.

Booksmart is easily the funniest and smartest comedy of 2019.

Raunchy and totally inappropriate in so many scenes, Wilde’s Booksmart is a winning combination of American expectations for comedy films with many social expectations and commentary. Even though Amy and Molly got into their desired schools, working and studying their butts off for the whole course of high school, when Molly finds out that the slutty cheerleader archetype, the stoner and the jock all got into the same schools, becomes a little bit of a bittersweet realization.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Booksmart is clarifying for me what it is I like most about a whole bunch of teen comedies in the past couple years.

I think it’s safe to say that for me this has been the most anticipated movie of the year. Wife described it as what Blockers wanted to be, though the fixation in Blockers with the more famous actors who played the parents shifted the focus of the action toward parental relationships and got in the way of the comedy and chemistry of the story’s actual drama,the coming of age story for those high school girls.

Booksmart had elements of what I see to be a new characteristic of female-centered comedies in which the foundations of our protagonist’s environment are basically good, loving, tolerant, understanding, and well-meaning (think Eighth Grade, Hearts Beat Loud, Blockers, all from last year, or even farther back to something like Rage in Placid Lake, where the joke is basically how Placid’s parents are the exact opposite of all other high school comedy parents). We don’t have an outside evil that needs to be vanquished, no racist, homophobic, stuck-up bully to contend with or ignore, no strawmen to proselytize past for the benefit of the audience and no one else. In some ways, the way in which Amy and Molly gain knowledge about the good intentions of others reminds me a lot of one of my other favorite films from this year, Fighting With My Family with Florence Pugh. In that film, there are moments when Saraya respond to perceived slights only to find that she’s struggling against imagined prejudice from her coworkers because she isn’t comfortable in her own skin. It’s a nice reversal of the triumph over adversity, goths vs cheerleaders 80s divide, or in the case of Booksmart, the introverts vs the extroverts, or the enlightened feminists vs the unwoke. Apparently Olivia Wilde talks about this phenomenon in her NPR interview.

Wife says the film doesn’t just copy the genre without presenting a good version of the story itself as with Isn’t it Romantic, but rather, it improves upon a lot of the tropes of the high-school party movie while also creating a new, satisfying kind of story. For instance, she says, the business with the loss of cell phones solves for us a problem after Amy and Molly have had their blowout fight at Nick’s party, because we don’t have to ask, “Why didn’t they just text ‘Sorry’ to one another?” (re-enacting a really boring movie trope). Instead, the two are cut off from one another for the rest of the night and only have a chance to reconnect after a dramatic discovery.

The friends’ resolution at the prison shakes up some interesting tropes as well. Wife and I agree that women-centered comedies of late contain within their winter sequence a moment when friends say to another a true thing but at the wrong time or in the wrong place or in an otherwise hurtful or careless way. In Booksmart, instead of starting the resolution scene with an heartfelt apology, it begins with a joke, which burns off the tension right away, and then each of the girls admits–with a lot of self-awareness–their own culpability for the deterioration of the previous night. Their struggle with self-knowledge is not meant to get in the way of their friendship. Rather, their friendship reinforces their sense of self and gives it clarity.

I don’t think of Booksmart‘s crude humor as being edgelordy in reaction to Superbad. Ann Hornaday from the Washington Post says in an otherwise glowing review, “f-bombs are dropped, fast and furiously, in ‘Booksmart,’ which sometimes feels like it’s straining a little too hard to be as crude as the Apatovian bromances it both imitates and comments on.” Booksmart doesn’t just have **** to give. At times it’s actually pretty dark, e.g. the scene with the delivery guy and the word Amy and Molly use to compel one another to do something no matter what. Wife likes that there wasn’t a prominent journey-for-alcohol scene as with all male-centered high school movies, which I think is right aesthetically and in terms of lived-experience. The ease with which the girls acquire alcohol versus the boys seems to fit and it also means that the film doesn’t get derailed going down well-tread paths of the genre.… Expand

Booksmart is about a couple overachiever girls (Beanie Feldstein, from Neighbors 2 and Ladybird, and Kaitlyn Dever) who've spent their entire high school years studying and participating in student government. About to graduate and fearingBooksmart is about a couple overachiever girls (Beanie Feldstein, from Neighbors 2 and Ladybird, and Kaitlyn Dever) who've spent their entire high school years studying and participating in student government. About to graduate and fearing she may have wasted her social time, Feldstein's character decides they should attend a party before it's all over. (It's basically the old high school boys try to attend a party/lose their virginity style R-rated comedy but starring females.)

I found this to be really funny. The pizza delivery guy scene in particular had me in stitches.

When you get down to the bare bones, the story is the basic two best friends find themselves going down different paths trope. Also, the the high school doesn't feel very realistic and the movie is basically about privileged white people problems. But the execution is so good, it didn't bother me much.

Olivia Wilde's directorial debut is surprisingly strong. There are three visual and/or audio moments that are really well done.

Feldstein and Dever are pretty funny and relatable, especially Feldstein who brings so much energy and personality to the role. Heck, the entire cast is pretty good, especially Santa Clarita Diet's Skyler Gisondo as a weird, rich kid who tries to fit in and American Horror Story's Billie Lourd as a nutty party girl who inexplicably shows up wherever the leads are.

The trailers looked good, but the film surpassed my expectations and I recommend this.… Expand

A huge amount of people are comparing it to Superbad, and I do get why they're doing that. I recognize that they do seem to have a lot of similarities, but I think their tones are completely different.

And, though it is more comedically focused, with a lot of its oddball humor and side characters inspiring a couple of well deserved laughs, it was the story and central friendship in question that won me over in the end. All of that success starts with the performances and chemistry between the two leads, Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever, who not only give tremendous performances in their own respective rights, but play off of one another so well that it would honestly shock me to learn that they were anything less than close in real life. Some of the humor doesn't quite land all the time, but again, I was more or less in my seat for the commentary on friendship and high school than anything else. Overall, it's a solid debut and a worthy entry alongside the pantheon of similar high school party flicks.… Expand

It's really, really raunchy, which may account for why I didn't love it. Overall, more good than bad, and if it sounds like something you might like, you'll probably love it.… Expand

Booksmart

Wilde has got it. I think so. I mean, there have been plenty debut directors hitting home runs in couple of years. And even though, the director, Olivia Wilde, isn't changing the game or flipping the table, but her rhythm is adaptable to those ever-changing background score that often transcends into a catchy song. Watch her craft a sensible theme that leans towards drama or comedy, within a snap. This risky element in the script does hover around the dangerous territory and when it has to get its hands dirty, it whimpers. The drama is a bit transparent and emotions overridden. The equation between the lead characters, despite of being shallow and backstage when taken lightly, is more absorbent than when it finally reveals its true self.

And no matter how smartly Wilde choreograph these fights with using productive angles and expressive background score, the cheesy liners that initiates the conversations cannot be pulled off with all the distractions possible; no matter how elegant. Beanie Feldstein is the winner. Clearly. Mostly, because she has got a leader-alike role. She is up for anything, overpowering everyone, her personality is, in fairness, crowd pleasing. Her know-it-all attitude draws you in and her.. well, friendship tames you into adoring her.

Kaitlyn Dever, on the other hand, is the underrated star whose zest to keep things vanilla helps survive their friendship. But, surprisingly, as a character, Feldstein can't even stand alone, and Dever is strong when alone, this is where things get juicy and also come to an end; a bit early I'd assume. At the end of the day, this will always be the beckoning of Wilde's talent, that were maybe hidden maybe not, but what's sure is that she is here to stay, in her comic arena, not experimenting but confident in her punch lines.… Expand

This show was so funny! It definitely is one of my favorite movies. Everyone in the theater was clapping afterwards and laughing hysterically. It is shocking that it is Olivia Wilde's first directorial debut. Definitely a must see.

A really funny movie in the vein of Superbad. The women in this are hilarious and some great cameos from 2000s SNL. My wife and I both loved it and will probably see again 10/10. There hasn't been a great comedy like this for years. Must See IMO.

I would rather go watch Superbad, Pineapple Express, The Hangover, Road Trip, Freddie Got Fingered, or even The Room because at least they aren't piles of **** laced with social justice and PC humor. I strongly believe there will one day be a legendarily funny comedy directed by a woman with no cheesy humor, but that day has not yet come and that's why this film missed its projected box office revenue by nearly 5 million dollars. There's nothing fresh about this film. Only watch it if you're a Democrat or you spend most of your time trying to shove money down a garbage disposal.… Expand

It seemed as if they took the concept from, "Superbad" and tried to make it original with lame humor and cheap, tasteless jokes. The main characters lacked on screen chemistry as best friends, perhaps do to their acting ability, especially Beanie Feldstein. It's blatantly obvious why she got casted into this role; her brother is Jonah Hill. If you're not aware, Jonah Hill stared in "Superbad," where his character was the controling, self centered friend. It's not ironic that Jonah Hill's sister, Beanie, plays the exact same role/character in this movie.

I can't stress enough how much this movie is a rip off of, "Superbad, " even down to the plot. It's the same plot from the film, where two friend's friendship gets tested on a adventure trying to get to a party. In conclusion, this movie should be avoided. It's a Netflix film at best. It's a film you watch when you finish watching the full series of "the office," and you can't decide what else to watch. I can't understand why this film got high ratings. This film didn't do well at the box office, and it seemed to go under most people's radars. I'm certain why this movie got overlooked for one simple reason. It was trying too hard to be "Superbad."… Expand

Is there a coalition of people trolling the movie because they're afraid of a film where the gay character isn't stereotyped or marginalized?? Anyway... think Superbad with a brain, a bigger heart, and a smarter and more realistic script. Sure it gets a little out of hand here and there for a laugh, but almost none of it feels 'low-blow' like films such as Superbad. Great cameos from Lisa Kudrow and a few SNL greats. Beanie Feldstein (Molly) might be one of the most charming young actresses of our time. She'll be winning Oscars for dramas in 15 years. So talented and so realistic. Just a stellar performance in a well written coming of age comedy that relies less on shock value and more on tugging at the heart. Think Superbad meets last years Eighth Grade. A solid 8/10 and this genre usually isn't my cup of tea. Bravo to all involved! If you just want some genuine laughs and aren't looking for something too heady, make it this one.… Expand

Writing a good comedy is hard. Writing a “coming of age” comedy that doesn’t sink into a bottomless pit of existential angst or become so sugary that it induces diabetes is even harder. “Booksmart” is so good it generates irrationalWriting a good comedy is hard. Writing a “coming of age” comedy that doesn’t sink into a bottomless pit of existential angst or become so sugary that it induces diabetes is even harder. “Booksmart” is so good it generates irrational exuberance about this tired, clichéd genre.

Directing her first feature film, actress Olivia Wilde takes charge with a self-confidence usually reserved for a veteran director at the peak of her powers. Her steady hand helps the characters navigate a potentially off-putting barrage of f-bombs and graphic sexual language to reveal themselves to be irreverent but sweet, outrageous but real. It’s a balancing act Wilde appears to manage effortlessly.

Writers Susanna Fogel, Emily Halpern, Sarah Haskins and Katie Silberman also deserve praise. The screenplay for “Booksmart” mixes laugh-out-loud humor (the doll fantasy sequence is the funniest scene I’ve seen this year) with characters crafted so winningly you are pulling for them while laughing at them and with them. The smart script also offers plenty of surprises.

The story line is slight, but all that’s needed. On the last day of school, Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) recognize that, perhaps, they’ve been too singularly focused on their academic success and decide to attend their classmates’ year-end blow-out the night before graduation. While the story structure is formulaic, it serves its purpose.

The glue that holds this film together is the chemistry between Molly and Amy. Feldstein announced herself as a young actress of note in last year’s “Lady Bird” (being Jonah Hill’s sister probably didn’t hurt her impeccable comedic timing). Dever, first seen on TV’s “Justified” (2011-2015) and the film “Short Term 12” is a revelation. It’s an indication of this film’s self-assurance that Dever’s character is gay, but her sexual orientation does not become a cause, a crusade or even the primary motivation for her actions. She just is. Molly and Amy argue, criticize and support each other fiercely. While doing so, they knit together a film that is gross, profane, sweet, touching, uplifting, consistently insightful, quirky and refreshingly funny.

The texture of the film is further buoyed by some key actors in minor roles. Jason Sudeikis (“We’re the Millers,” “Horrible Bosses 2” and Wilde’s real-life partner) adds a deft touch as the needy school principal/part-time Lyft driver. Jessica Williams (“The Daily Show”) fully embodies the “cool teacher.” Lisa Kudrow and Will Forte, as Amy’s parents, are compellingly confused by their daughter’s sexual orientation while remaining cloyingly, cluelessly supportive.

This is a film that crackles with smart dialogue and laughs that are all well-earned. It’s the funniest movie I’ve seen in years. At the screening I attended, most of the people in the audience were laughing out loud early on. This may be the best film I’ve seen at capturing fully the gamut of emotions - the confusion, optimism, pain, self-consciousness, unearned self-assurance and burgeoning self-awareness – that late adolescence represents. It’s one of the best films of the year.… Expand

To quote emperor Palpatine, “A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.” Upon seeing a red rating screen before the trailer for Booksmart, it seems to be yet another crass comedy that can’t draw the fine line between rules and fun. Turns outTo quote emperor Palpatine, “A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.” Upon seeing a red rating screen before the trailer for Booksmart, it seems to be yet another crass comedy that can’t draw the fine line between rules and fun. Turns out director Olivia Wilde’s motion picture actually has some profound philosophies to say when it’s time to party these coming summer months.

The screenwriter wisely took time to build up the homosexuality of the co-lead, Amy, so that by the end, her story makes the LGBTQ community feel respected. Yes, even I, a straight man, felt heartbroken when Amy did; mostly because the actress playing her, Kaitlyn Dever, knows how to play the part seriously when admitting how she profanes a plush panda’s snout, then snaps a vicious attitude toward those who take advantage of her habit of saying yes to everything.

Her perfectionist best friend, Molly, though, is the type of lead character who gives the entire project more layers of depth than similar comedies. While not correcting grammar on bathroom walls, Molly‘s assertive (emphasis on the first three letters of that adjective) female dog personality barks everyone else down. Beanie Feldstein plays the part of Molly like the only sane woman within a murder mystery party, but not even she, nor the rest of the cast, acts truly heterosexual!

Casting directors out there, keep a keen eye out on Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever! These two build expert chemistry off each other, almost like the two improvised half the content… maybe Beanie and Kaitlyn could score Best Actress Golden Globe nominations? Fingers crossed!

Although the unorthodox immorality of the screenplay encourages youths to dishonor the police and ignore their parents. Don’t be surprised if someone shortly after watching this movie is photographed to the front and to the side, a number below in hand. Right from seeing how Molly vandalized her own parking spot at school, the complete freedom of breaking rules means even the rules of logic are broken. There’s an instant when the two lead girls speak fluent Chinese so the principal cannot understand them, and nothing before or after the scene explains why they would know such a language. Better scenes probably wound up on the cutting room floor to close up some plot holes, but instead, the bigger issues are peppered down by the unpredictably spicy visuals.

The cinematography doesn’t quite match what the hot imagery calls for, as it ranges from Steadicam to going all vertigo on Molly’s distraught face. With the things done wrong, several jokes go on too long, including Amy’s parents listing the cute names for her graduation food, a creepy doll nightmare, or a fantasized dance with Molly’s crush. That dance is just another one of those invigorous daydreams implemented. While hit or miss, when a visual does hit, it is oh, so fresh! Right down to the makeup design of the characters, it appropriately gives crucial information about who they are without calling any attention to itself.

Because everything looks genuine enough, the supporting cast are believable as videos on an Instagram story, shouting louder than a saturated karaoke projector backlight. At school, the students seem well-behaved, then after the scholarly caps set loose, shirts rip apart to reveal their true selves! Every character leaves an impact, from a full-of-themselves drama duo to a trashy teenager in a teacher’s body. Over eight hours, the entire collection of whomever impacted Molly and Amy throughout their four years of high school jumps in line of their misadventures.

Molly ain’t entirely happy though, as a big problem keeps coming in: Too many of these party-hardy kids got into her level of schools: Yale, Harvard, etc. That’s why Molly needs to party on their last night of teenagerhood, to prove she’s more than just their class president. Not just that, she’ll ensure Amy will enjoy it too, even if it means introducing her to porn for “educational” purposes.

This inner concern Molly has for her own ego presents something much deeper than what most coming-of-age teen comedies dwell on, it displays something applicable to anyone of any age: why “YOLO” vitalizes humanity now more than ever before. It means we should go love those privileged breaks life offers. It means we need to have some fun. It means we need to follow the rules. It means we have to know when the line between fun and rules must be drawn or erased. Booksmart has the fun part down cold, so take good note on the journey of Molly and Amy.… Expand
