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.

Bold, brash, intelligent, confident, unapologetic, offbeat and full of interesting things to say. Read more

For me, personally, I am clearly still 17 on the inside! I loved it. Not only do I think it a good comedy. It is also a feel-good movie about best friends; a coming of age lesbian adventure; and a film that treats the multi-coloured spectrum of modern sexual variety as something entirely normal and to be celebrated.

Booksmart deserves to stand the test of time and become a go-to female friendship-film in the vein of Mean Girls and Bridesmaids, and it deserves to become as iconic of a cultural milestone as American Pie or Superbad were to their target audience’s generations. Hopefully, time will be kind to this wonderful coming-of-age comedy. Read more

The characters we follow are brilliantly naïve and still have a lot to learn as they transition to the next chapter of their lives, but they’re presented in an assured and confidently hilarious directorial debut from Wilde who has clearly done her homework. Booksmart passes with flying colours. Read more

Without the hypocrisy of its genre-related competitors, this is a refreshing teen movie that bounces with energy and tangy dialogue. Read more

The central friendship is fantastic, made ever more poignant, different, and convincing by the stellar performances of Feldstein and Dever. 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.

Comparisons to Superbad are unavoidable, particularly since Feldstein’s brother Jonah Hill starred in Greg Mottola’s 2007 high water mark. And while Booksmart may not quite hit that target, Wilde’s comedy is the most fun flick to join the party since McLovin and the Lube. Read more

It's an intriguing setup, but despite the contributions of no less than four screenwriters, the film struggles to find anything novel or interesting for Amy and Molly to come up against. Read more

Bovenal schotelt debuterend regisseur Olivia Wild ons een heerlijke komedie voor welke zeker voor jongere is maar ook voor de meer volwassen kijker te genieten is. Read more

Booksmart is een verfrissende high school komedie over de zoektocht naar volwassenheid aan de hand van scherp schrijfwerk en een sterke chemie tussen de hoofdrolspeelsters. Read more

Booksmart laat je zeker keihard lachen maar is aan het einde van de rit wel weer een zoveelste highschoolmovie. Read more

Het belang van dit onderwerp is niet te betwisten, maar in Booksmart mist de urgentie: de scènes in kwestie zijn meer statement dan drama. Read more
