This movie was terrible. I’m not sure how anyone is giving it anything better than 2 stars... we sat through the whole movie expecting at some point the laughs were going to come but alas we had only a mere chuckle or two. Someone said it’s a female version of ‘Superbad’,…

Absolutely hilarious and the perfect amount of crazy. I haven’t much enjoyed comedy movies lately but this has revived the genre for me. Great watch.

It was honestly hit or miss with the humor for me, but it definitely had some moments that really made me laugh! There was even a little heart mixed in during the last half that mellowed out some of the over-the-top humor attempts. It's worth checking out but dont expect…

I was really excited to see a comedy but this turned out to be just another movie about high school love and parties. the funny parts were just in the commercial. I kept waiting for the movie to pick up until I realized it was over. half way in I almost left but stayed for…

I may have been hoping for too much to expect Superbad with girls but it has its moments; great supporting cast though.

There was a chuckle or two. But that’s mostly it. Seemed like it was forced humor for the forced laugh

I have never felt like a movie understood me as much as this movie did. I feel like they stole inside jokes from my friend group!

It feels fairly derivative but it is definitely a fun watch. Especially if you went to high school in rich California.

these actresses were amazing. best part of the movie was the acting. they feel like real people. the story feels a little flat but there are some moments where I laughed really hard. decent teen comedy

I loved it. The story didn’t go the way I thought it would and that made it great. It’s hysterical too. It is so worth a trip to the theater.

There are only so many ways to make a teen graduation party/coming of age movie. It’s a tired plot device. This one jazzes the format up a bit with a feminist angle, clever dialogue, and having the leads be proud and sweet nerds. But ultimately it’s lightweight fare. It’s a…

Literally the kind of movie where a whole theater was laughing hysterically together. (At some point I will see this again just to hear all the lines I missed by laughing through them).

At first glance Booksmart might seem an average coming of age tale. But the layers of the characters and realism of their struggles takes the movie to another level. I am glad I saw this movie and would recommend it if this genre is for you.

Taking the generic senior year themed teen movie and led it by two actresses. But funnier and clever. Great cinematography on top of it.

I can't wait until this is out on digital so I can watch every day. It was amazing, the cast was incredible and Olivia Wilde was a unique visual style in her directing that made this very memorable

The movie was really funny. There are some parts that are boring but overall it made me and my husband laugh. Recommend if going on a date or just to go see alone.

Booksmart’s version of specificity mostly feels like old tropes sporting new stickers. It seems to take place in this weird bubble, where everyone is sexy and Yale-bound and achingly cool (even its supposedly uncool protagonist is the class president). That it never really acknowledges this makes you wonder if the filmmakers know it exists.

It's an R-rated teen comedy that proves that you can center girls’ experiences without sacrificing grossness, and that you can be gross without being too mean.

The pacing and writing are as smart as the film's title. Early moments are worth a chuckle, but the laugh-out-loud, top-shelf jokes happen when night falls.
