Booksmart

It’s one of the funniest movies of the year.

Booksmart leaves you feeling unaccountably hopeful for the state of humanity — and the state of American screen comedy too.

As the hapless students flounder about, putting all their foibles on display, Booksmart always maintains a kind and understanding gaze. It’s a movie that wants to be there for its subjects.

The film is simply intent on capturing the energy of that special “us against the world” connection that can exist only in high school and unleashing it onto the screen.

Luckily, Wilde has brought together a pair of stars whose joy in each other’s company is impossible not to relish, and their chemistry just goofing around reaches Tina-Fey-and-Amy-Poehler levels of inspired fizz.

Mainly, Booksmart works because Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein are so magically right together.

As a form of wish fulfillment, it’s fascinating if unpersuasive; as a vision of its subject—high-school life—it’s as faux-sweet and faux-innocent as the films of the Frankie Avalon era.

I definitely think this is a unique story. It goes in a lot of different directions, that it kind of ends up all over the place. It's definitely very extra and over the top. There weren't too many laughs, and I didn't particularly feel emotionally connected to the characters or their story but I did enjoy following their friendship. Overall I did enjoy it, just not as much as I thought I would based on all the positive buzz around the movie. I feel like I will forget I even saw this movie in a year or two.

Si entretiene, pero es para viejas, las historias son bobas pero funcionan, y es una apologia a las lesbianas y gays

It is like a bland version of Superbad. Is not awful, the leads act very well, but it plays things safe. When you try so hard not to offend anyone with your comedy, is hard to be funny, so the movie falls flat ultimately

You think you are watching a movie that makes you laugh, live, love like other high school movies but sorry it won't. Not really so catchy and actually all the points are for Kaitlyn Dever and her extraordinary charm. She's great. I mean her score is 10/10 but other features of the movie should be considered too. So I guess watch it if you are also attracted to her then you won't blame the time you put for it :))
