Review of Booksmart (2019) by Junkman — 09 Jul 2019

This movie was terrible. Not enjoyable to watch, nor funny. It seemed as if they took the concept from, "Superbad" and tried to make it original with lame humor and cheap, tasteless jokes. The main characters lacked on screen chemistry as best friends, perhaps do to their acting ability, especially Beanie Feldstein. It's blatantly obvious why she got casted into this role; her brother is Jonah Hill. If you're not aware, Jonah Hill stared in "Superbad," where his character was the controling, self centered friend. It's not ironic that Jonah Hill's sister, Beanie, plays the exact same role/character in this movie.

I can't stress enough how much this movie is a rip off of, "Superbad, " even down to the plot. It's the same plot from the film, where two friend's friendship gets tested on a adventure trying to get to a party. In conclusion, this movie should be avoided. It's a Netflix film at best. It's a film you watch when you finish watching the full series of "the office," and you can't decide what else to watch. I can't understand why this film got high ratings. This film didn't do well at the box office, and it seemed to go under most people's radars. I'm certain why this movie got overlooked for one simple reason. It was trying too hard to be "Superbad.
