Booksmart (2019)
Superbad, but with girls.
Presentation:
Olivia Wilde direct debuts a comedy that is modern and colorful following two best friends trying to have a good time before college. The two girls are likable and make for a great dynamic and balance. The film clearly wants to piggyback on the magic of Superbad and succeeds in some ways. The film could have very easily incorporated obnoxious commentary, but Olivia Wilde reserves this right and creates a foremost entertaining film. Humor is actually quite tight and silly and you don't have an egregious or lame jokes. There is also a particularly awesome drug scene aptly performed. The relationship between the girls feel genuine and you really are entertained from start to finish.
Conclusion:
A funny comedy that you may have missed because of no-name leads and poor marketing. It's not just funny but well made with a meaningful adventure. It should bring you back to your high school shenanigans. Light and full of laughs, no reservations needed watching this modern comedy.
