Academic overachievers Amy and Molly thought keeping their noses to the grindstone gave them a leg up on their high school peers. But on the eve of graduation, the best friends suddenly realize that they may have missed out on the special moments of their teenage years. Determined to make up for lost time, the girls decide to cram four years of not-to-be missed fun into one night -- a chaotic adventure that no amount of book smarts could prepare them for.

More than just "Super Bad" with girls, "Booksmart" is a hilarious, heartfelt, and brilliantly-directed comedy film. Sharply written. Superbly acted. One of the funniest movies of 2019. Also Olivia Wilde directed the ever-loving s*** out of this movie. Can't wait to see her next one!

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

I'm partial to comedies, and Olivia Wilde's directorial debut didn't disappoint. Diverse, hilarious, and achingly relatable, Booksmart is an exciting new addition to modern teen comedy. I highly enjoyed this!

Though it really shouldn't be at this point in time, it's exhilarating to see a film centered on teenage girls... Yet to champion the film as a universal reflection of teenage girldom rather than a highly specific fantasy also does it a disservice.

With elegant clarity, Booksmart demonstrates how certain experiences can feel colossal and of walloping import even when we know we're waiting for something else-something we can't possibly fathom.

...witty, raucous, perfectly played and eventually packs an emotional wallop.

Wilde's direction and script oozes with the confidence and mastery of someone that has been directing for ten-plus years.

Something just clicks about Booksmart. It’s startlingly funny, maybe a tad over the top, but I struggle to find something that’s a genuine issue.

Rated: A

Booksmart is hilarious without ever making fun of someone for the sake of a joke. It is earnest and sweet, a pure delight.
