I'm not the biggest fan of coming of age movies as I dislike the intended awkward teenage interactions but Booksmart didn't have too many of those for which I was pleasantly suprised.
I didn't, however, like or relate to the main character at all which tarnished the whole movie and all interactions with her in it. Understandable her negative personality traits where part of the coming of age but I didn't feel she really grew either. Just apologised and then carried on. The rest of the characters where likeable but felt a bit one dimensional. They called Molly out for her negative behaviour early on in the movie but still were really kind and welcoming at the end?! No one thought it was weird they did a 360 on their behaviour?
But all that said it was a relatively fun watch.
