"No, we just don't ONLY care about school."
Booksmart fully deserves all the praise it has received - this is a tale about two bright and ambitious best friends on the day before graduating from school that actually feels like it gets everything right. It is genuinely hilarious, it packs in a lot of story and events across its running time, its poignant moments are sharp and well-observed, and the energetic pace never flags in terms of momentum or quality. Kaitlin Deaver and Beanie Feldstein deliver probably the best on-screen female friendship since Muriel and Rhonda, and even the subsidiary characters are nuanced and memorable. With an unbeatable message of the value of friendship and living life to the full, coupled with many laugh-out-loud moments (you'll never look at a toy panda the same way again!), Booksmart is a hugely entertaining, engaging and enjoyable film.
