Booksmart is for you.
It's a love letter to every student who opted to study late at the library as a substitute opposed to hitting up foolish parties and running around town with companions. So, yeah, it's for you, nerds:
Booksmart looks like a hilarious take on the party-centric teen movie that's been done time and time again, following two teens, Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (
Kaitlyn Dever), as they work to fit every high school partying experience they missed into one potentially disastrous night.
The trailer opens with a slow pan over Molly's room, which is littered with signs that she is a feminist and ardent student. She's even got a tribute to RBG in there! "Good morning, winner. Take a deep breath. See the mountain of success and look down on anyone who's ever doubted you," proclaims a self-help tape she's listening to. And then things get gritty.
"Fuck those losers. Fuck them in their foolish fucking faces," the voice proclaims as Molly pops her retainer in. It's go time. And this trailer isn't pulling any punches.
The clip features the two dancing in the street for a couple of minutes before jetting off to school for their last day, about to get into some of the most trouble they've ever seen in their entire high school careers.
It's littered with some particularly hilarious moments. Amy is crushing hard on another student, and Molly urges her go converse with her.
"Amy, do you think how several females are gonna be up your vagina next year?" She asks. "Every time I come and visit you, you're gonna be scissoring a different girl."
The pair determine that they require to convince their companions that they're "fun," because they spent their entire high school lives studying as an alternative opposed to going out and partying in a bid to get into good colleges. Lame, right? There's just one problem: The "irresponsible" people got into good schools, also. So as far as these two BFFs are concerned, they've got to create ensure each person is aware they're just as "cool" and "wild" because the rest of their graduating class.
They get into a whole host of hilarious hijinks, including what looks like robbing a taxi driver, crashing a series of parties, and being driven off in a squad vehicle. There's also a joke at the end of the trailer where Molly's convinced Amy to pretend they're dating and around to express their love for one another as they're apparently stuck with each other somehow (presumably handcuffed).

Billie Lourd,
Jessica Williams,

Booksmart has the potential to be one of the funniest movies of the summer.

positive reviews, and it's scheduled for release in theaters worldwide on May 24, 2019. That's just in time for graduating seniors to catch it and potentially lament on their dangerously dull high school lives.
you could just be getting some major FOMO from flick in the event you spent your high school days studying also, nevertheless Amy and Molly will ensure they make up for everything you didn't do in school. Trust.
