Directed by Olivia Wilde; Cast: Kaitlyn Dever, Beanie Feldstein, Billie Lourd; R, 1 hr 45 min., 105 min., Rated R for all kinds of teenage bad behavior (sex, drugs, drinking and language)
The story follows Dever and Feldstein’s characters, two academic superstars and best friends who, on the eve of their high school graduation, suddenly realize that they should have worked less and played more. Determined never to fall short of their peers, the girls set out on a mission to cram four years of fun into one night. “Booksmart is a teen sex romp well suited for the summer of 2019: feminist but not preachy, raunchy but not nasty, emotionally intelligent but not sentimental.” —Dana Stevens, Slate
