"Booksmart" directed by Olivia Wilde is about two straight-A high school seniors that seek out a night of fun before graduation. That is the basic and banal plot of this film. The lacking plot or story is compensated for through a load of sexual humour and references, as well as numerous montages that attempt to fill this obvious void of the film. For its entertainment purposes, it kind of works.
In spite, I was not impressed with the film. I have to give the film - it being a comedy - credit for making me laugh a couple of times in a stylish way - and I liked the performance by Beanie Feldstein as Molly.
Other than that, I felt "Booksmart" was close to copying "Super Bad" on several levels, but a less successful result. I cannot recommended this film to people expecting to see an A-grade comedy
