Jan 02, 2020The cast and concept are much better than the script and direction. (At least four people worked on the script, not a good sign.) Props to legendary casting director, Allison Jones who hits aces with a diverse group young adult cast members. Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein lead the way of likable performers. The arc of their characters' friendship is the most interesting thread of Olivia Wilde's directing debut. Their journey, though, through a pre-graduation night of seeking a party and trying to experience their first night of letting loose, is... meh. Their are several good belly laughs and the Dever character's quest to experience her first sexual encounter help push this movie into recommendation territory.Aldo G Super Reviewer

Sep 15, 2019The focus on two young female characters isn't the most radical thing here, its that nearly every character ends up transcending the false perceptions held by their peers and the audience.Alec B Super Reviewer

Aug 01, 2019Booksmart is stylishly directed and genuine to the core. This coming-of-age/high-school film is hysterical, charming and surprisingly sincere overall thanks to its outstanding leads in Dever and Feldstein, its colorful supporting cast and unique vision from first-time-director, Olivia Wilde; making for one of the best this year and this decade. 4.55/5Eugene B Super Reviewer

Jul 28, 2019What utter rubbish. Worst movie of this year, this decade, this millennium. In fact worst movie ever. If this is anything like what high school is these days then I truly weep for the future. 97% on the t-meter...I don't think so. Olivia Wide should never direct another movie ever (7-27-19)
