La rivincita delle sfigate

First ever review I've written, but I had to because I'm in shock at the hate this film is getting here. People complaining about cliche characters must be watching a more diverse teen comedies than me (I still see plenty). I mean, this doesn't have your typical bullies, us-verse-them characters. They find the good in each other, even whilst still being harsh when they are telling of the truth. You know, like real life?

This isn't the grosses, loudest, coolest or offensive teens partying movie, but the depth of character, the overall message and the friendship portrayed felt real to me. This isn't a comedy like Superbad or Blockers or neighbours, concerned about alcohol, being cool and sex. It's more fear of missing out and real friendship (not saying those ones aren't, just that this is missing that elements).

So watch it and make your mind up yourself.

I will start off by saying I don't review often on IMDB, but regularly check other people's ratings and reviews before watching films and tv shows.

It really bums me out when people go out there way to write 1 star reviews or low star reviews when a film clearly isn't deserved of such a low mark.

Which brings me to this film Booksmart, after seeing this praised by critics and most people on the internet I thought I would give it a go after seeing a trailer of the film prior to it being released.

It did not disappoint in the slightest and by no means necessary is this film perfect... but it does deliver on so many levels. It's funny, charming and easy to watch, the story of the movie is slightly predictable and you can see what's going on before it's even happened and you've probably seen similar films like this but this is up there with the best coming of age comedies.

Don't miss out on this by listening to bad reviews it's a solid movie perfect for them Sunday afternoons.

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.

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 just saw this. The first review I saw here (also titled "I don't get it" and also 5 stars, summed up my feelings, so I won't repeat all that it said. (Except, and I suppose a minor point, but as that other review mentioned, some of the actors are way too old for the roles, e.g., Billie Lourd is 27 and looks 27.) And it strains plausibility at times. (Miss Fine just happened to have a sequined dress in Beanie Feldstein's size in her car?)

I read two glowing reviews, on AVClub and Vulture, and it has a 97% critical consensus on RottenTomatoes, so clearly critics are liking it. I just don't understand why.

I don't have know how many times I've seen Lady Bird, a far superior high school movie (in which Beanie F. costarred). This isn't a bad movie; it's a bit scattered tonally, and I kept reading that the characters weren't the usual high school stereotypes and were fleshed out, when actually that's not true.

It is...mildly witty. I guess see it and see what you think if you're curious. Word of mouth will be the ultimate determination of its success. For me, it's vastly overhyped.
