    Haven't laughed that hard in a while

    I just came out of a pre-screening of Booksmart at my college, and I have not laughed that hard while watching a movie in a long time. I went in with low expectations and I left with tears still in my eyes. One of the best comedies so far this year in my opinion.

    Tedious

    The film does pick up in its 2nd half but by that time I built up too much hatred for it. It's noisy, characters are annoying plus a full deck of cliche's. I usually like critically acclaimed films but this, nah. Very disappointed... Many may like this film, I just wish I was one of them

    I found it uneven. It was too familiar with Superbad.

    I thought it was overrated. Some laughs, but too similar to Superbad. It seemed more forced with too many random characters. Some of the scenes don't go anywhere. Like when the two leads were pretending to be dolls which was funny at first, but had no payoff. It was clever, then the scene stopped. The ending stopped suddenly, too.

    Well I liked it

    I found this to be funny and smart and don't think it got a great promotion considering the number of reviews comparing it to Superbad. (It's not Superbad because it's 2019, oh and also because it's a different movie) Billie Lourde has some excellent line reading in this. It's bizarre and surreal and that's just the way I like my comedy.

    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.
