What critics are saying about Booksmart

That's all to say, Booksmart is an authentic story about two young women, starring young women, told by women. That authenticity shines especially in the script for Booksmart, which is sharp and funny, nailing the characters of Molly and Amy while effectively developing their friendship as the emotional core of the movie. Booksmart manages to deftly balance the more over-the-top - and, at times, unbelievable - comedic moments with genuinely touching dramatic beats.

Booksmart Movie Review

Also that they’re having a hell of a good time.The tone of “Booksmart” is smutty and sweet, and the plot is often hilariously inventive. A detour to the theater clique’s mystery dinner, for instance, ends up as an accidental drug trip in which the girls morph into stop-motion Barbie dolls.
