Leave your thoughts about Booksmart.
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiIt’s one of the funniest movies of the year. |
| EmpireElla KempNo ceremonious life lessons here — Booksmart lives in a euphoric moment of unapologetic youth that knows what it deserves. Cherish it, revisit the time capsule of our boisterously ambitious era endlessly. |
| Original-CinKim HughesThe high school rite-of-passage film canon may have been raided here but its thieves — screenwriters Susanna Fogel, Emily Halpern, Sarah Haskins, and Katie Silberman, doubtless abetted by producers Will Ferrell and Adam McKay — have wrung every drop of weird, contradictory, and squeamish fun out of the teenage experience. |
| TheWrapYolanda MachadoBooksmart is, by far, one of the most perfect coming-of-age comedies I have ever seen. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternNothing funnier, smarter, quicker or more joyous has graced the big screen in a long time. Every performance pulses with wit, whether drawing-room-precise or burlesque-broad. Every joke fires infallibly, whether blithe, barbed or raunchy. Every fresh face conceals a surprise. It’s a thrilling achievement by any measure, an AP course in the exuberance of youth. |
| RogerEbert.comMonica CastilloA stellar high school comedy with an A+ cast, a brilliant script loaded with witty dialogue, eye-catching cinematography, swift editing, and a danceable soundtrack. Most importantly, it’s incredibly fun to watch again and again. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Chandler LevackWilde’s smart directing choices and the bravery of her two fearless leads transform a series of comic set-pieces, usually seen in fare such as "American Pie," into iconic character moments. |
| Paste MagazineJoelle MoniqueA perfect balance between sexualized/gross-out humor and sincere admiration for one of the wildest emotional periods of a human being’s life, Booksmart screens like a love letter to that best friend who was closer to a life partner than a school chum. |
| The AtlanticDavid SimsThe film is simply intent on capturing the energy of that special “us against the world” connection that can exist only in high school and unleashing it onto the screen. |
| The New York TimesA.O. ScottThe rapid-fire, note-perfect dialogue is punctuated with moments of brilliant conceptual whimsy: animated and underwater sequences; horror-movie jump scares; immersive theater. |
