Review of Booksmart (2019) by Usuallee — 28 May 2019
Kind of bought into the hype and went to see this. Wasn't sure what to expect. Pleasantly surprised - this is the funniest movie I've seen in YEARS! Some of the comments on here are of dubious value, to say the least. "Aggressively promoting lesbianism"? Really? Did we watch the same movie? One of the characters happens to be a lesbian, yes. So what? Lesbians do exist. However, I'm pretty sure most didn't become a lesbian just because they watched a movie that had a lesbian in it. I mean, come on.
It's too bad so people feel so threatened by anything even slightly different from the "norm". Also, everybody's just so damn excited to be able to get OUTRAGED by something - anything!- these days. And to engage in ostentatious virtue-signalling. On both the right AND the left! Anyway I kinda hate politics, so why am I talking about politics? Because every last damn thing gets politicized these days, I suppose. Forget politics. Just enjoy a genuinely hilarious comedy that is raunchy and boundary-pushing but has a really good heart.
