First ever review I've written, but I had to because I'm in shock at the hate this film is getting here. People complaining about cliche characters must be watching a more diverse teen comedies than me (I still see plenty). I mean, this doesn't have your typical bullies, us-verse-them characters. They find the good in each other, even whilst still being harsh when they are telling of the truth. You know, like real life?
This isn't the grosses, loudest, coolest or offensive teens partying movie, but the depth of character, the overall message and the friendship portrayed felt real to me. This isn't a comedy like Superbad or Blockers or neighbours, concerned about alcohol, being cool and sex. It's more fear of missing out and real friendship (not saying those ones aren't, just that this is missing that elements).
So watch it and make your mind up yourself.
Plot summary
Two academic teenage superstars realize, on the eve of their high school graduation, that they should have worked less and played more. Determined to never fall short of their peers, the girls set out on a mission to cram four years of fun into one night.

Wow, I guess people only enjoy movies about "cool" people...
A solid coming of age comedy!
Such a great feel-good film. Kaitlyn Dever & Beanie Feldstein DELIVER comedy gold. You are immediately invested in their friendship and want them to achieve their goals of having a fun night before they head off to college. Olivia Wilde smashed it with this film. I did not lose interest or get bored the entire movie, and I eagerly await her next project.
Don't listen to bad reviews.
I will start off by saying I don't review often on IMDB, but regularly check other people's ratings and reviews before watching films and tv shows.
It really bums me out when people go out there way to write 1 star reviews or low star reviews when a film clearly isn't deserved of such a low mark.
Which brings me to this film Booksmart, after seeing this praised by critics and most people on the internet I thought I would give it a go after seeing a trailer of the film prior to it being released.
It did not disappoint in the slightest and by no means necessary is this film perfect... but it does deliver on so many levels. It's funny, charming and easy to watch, the story of the movie is slightly predictable and you can see what's going on before it's even happened and you've probably seen similar films like this but this is up there with the best coming of age comedies.
Don't miss out on this by listening to bad reviews it's a solid movie perfect for them Sunday afternoons.
