Review of Booksmart (2019) by Luba1893 — 30 Nov 2019

I just absolutely love how alt-right trolls will whine about "triggered SJW snowflakes" non-stop, but then mass review a movie with the lowest rating possible because it has the gays in them and they are actually accepted and portrayed as completely equal people in the movie.

Just a small thing people: Unless the movie actually portrayed all ~1,000 students of the school and 600 of them were gay, this movie didn't say that, and I quote "a good 60% of the school's population are gay or transgender or a non-binary something or other".

It's just that the focus of the movie was on those students. Anyway, let's get to the actual movie review part: Meh. I didn't really like it. The user scores on here are ridiculous and largely by bigotted people whose worldviews are stuck about 100 years in the past, but it's not a great movie.

The characters were very over the top and down-right unrealistic (which can work great in a comedy, but just didn't here), way too much of the comedy relied purely on "Oh look, here are these two best friends who are very weird and have very quirky inside jokes, isn't it funny how they weirdly dance to greet each other?" Yeah, no.

Not really. The first 2/3 of the movie also felt a bit dragged out, while I thought that the last third was better than the rest of the movie. The acting is alright, but nothing special. Overall this movie is.

. well, an acceptable movie. But the plot is weak, unrealistic and relies on to many clichés, even for a comedy movie, the comedic moments are often just not funny and the characters not really relatable as they just don't behave like actual people.

Hard to describe, but throughout the entire movie most characters just seem like comic versions of actual people, but way over the top. Didn't really like it, but was almost inclined to give it a 10/10 to counter the wrongful "reviews" on here, but then again: I wouldn't be any better than them if I did that.
