Booksmart | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

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.

Along with great directorial choices, the films two great performances provide tons of chemistry and a lot of laughs and should be the start of cinephiles gaining anticipation for any film directed by Olivia Wilde.

Wilde's taken a classic coming-of-age chassis, updated it, chucked on a few mod-cons, and given it a very fresh paint job, and the resulting ride is fast and fun.
