But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Nicolas Soto

With this being Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut, I can say with full confidence that she managed to create a unique film that’s both a love letter to the coming-of-age story and to anyone who spent their Friday nights at home doing schoolwork.

Olivia Wilde’s funny and sensitive story about two high school best friends...

A breakout moment for stars Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever, as well as for first-time director Olivia Wilde, Booksmart is utterly hilarious.

The screenplay was put together by a team of four writers whose apparent aspirations to be “Superbad 2.0” overtakes the meaningful story at the film’s core.

Although Booksmart doesn't break new ground or redefine the genre of teen comedies, its treatment of the material resonates enough that Generation Z will undoubtedly cling to the movie for years to come.
