Booksmart is a sweet coming-of-age story that has a lot to offer its audience, mostly in the form of the cast. The actual story is reminiscent of your typical teen movie, but the chemistry of the people involved makes it feel like something different; special in its own way.

Booksmart passes with flying colours. Read more

The comedy was on point, though, as biased as that is, it felt as though a lot of work and consideration went directly into the dialogue, helping these characters pop in a way that’s both unique and something members of the target audience can connect with.
