Fora de Série

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.

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 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.

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 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.
