[Sunster]

[G_Shumi]

I haven't watched it yet but wanted to after a friend of mine recommended it. Glad to see it's on Hulu now. I'll have to watch it sometime this week. Thank you for letting us know.

 

[SteveWinwood]

[Rhomega]

I need to watch it again, but I already have a digital copy too.

 

[duckroll]

I saw it on the plane flying to New Zealand earlier this month. It was pretty funny.

[Einchy]

Love me some Booksmart.

The first trailer is also one of my favorite recent trailers.

It has a few funny moments, but that's it.

 

[chefbags]

really good movie. laughed so hard with my brother through this.

Olivia Wilde is a damn good director.

 

[BDS]

It's one of my favorite movies of the year, basically every scene had me dying with laughter

 

[grang]

I haven't but regretted not catching it in theaters, definitely gonna watch it soon now it's on there

 

[Sunster]

poor Amy can't catch a break :((

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I love how everything has to be compared to something to be good or bad.

 

[Einchy]

This and Justified made me a fan of Kaitlyn Dever.

Spoiler

I haven't watched her Netflix show.

 

[Skyejack]

Hulu is secretly Disneys best streaming service. Watch Booksmart and then Dollface and also Shrill. Lots of good comedies built around women.

well it is a very similar plot to Super Bad

I think it hit that sweetspot for kids from the 90's and early 2000's which hadnt had a defining comedy movie moment yet, so like "woah that girl got PERIOD blood on his jeans!" edge humour in a live action comedy about high schoolers was fresh

I started watching Justified just after seeing Booksmart. Was surprised to see her, and she had a bigger role than I anticipated. Was awesome.

Shrill was a huge surprise for me when I watched it earlier this year, and Booksmart is hilarious, so I guess it's time to go watch Dollface.

(I watched Shrill with my mom and both of us were surprised by the morning-after pill's weight limit; it surprises me the show didn't pick up more buzz in general.)

 

[Amiablepercy]

Jonah Hill's sister Beanie is quite often funnier than he has ever been in this flick and I like Jonah.

 

[AnotherDayAnotherDollar]

I will watch it because I started watching Last Man Standing and "Eve" from there is in the movie.

 

[Raguel]

I enjoyed it but it wasn't the amazing piece of comedy that many here were extolling. It still fell into the same boring high school comedy tropes and was very predictable. The actresses were great.

 

[jwk94]

Hmm, is it worth $10?

 

[Yams]

What if Superbad was full of even more annoying characters and selfish assholes: The Movie

Almost this.

Didn't know this was up on hulu, guess I'll finally watch it.

 

[Shaun Solo]

Been wanting to see this, so thanks for the thread!

Yup this is accurate. I first saw it on a bootleg (too young to see it in theatres and too timid to sneak in) that had a laugh track courtesy of the audience and it was the epitome of comedy to me for a long time. I rewatched it a few years back and it's fine, but it mostly works due to nostalgia for me.

Gigi is love.
Gigi is life.

 

[Strike]

My cousin bought it on blu-ray not too long ago. It was fun. Shout out to Billie Lourd.

 

[JigglesBunny]

You mean the film tied for the best of the year? Yeah, everyone should be watching this right now.

 

[Firewithin]

Good movie. Watch people

 

[Messi]

Olivia Wilde is a fantastic director.

The movie is fantastic.

 

[Red_V2]

It was solid nothing incredible imo. Worth a watch.

 

[Deception]

This movie was a solid 7.5/10, pretty good but nothing special. Not one really memorable or standout moment like other generational comedies except perhaps the Uber scene. I wanted to really love it but alas.

 

[KmA]

My friend worked as PR for the movie and let me and a bunch of other people see an early screening and loved it. The way the two female leads shower compliments at each other is how me and my best friend talk to each other now lmfao

 

[Deleted member 11976]

Saw it in theatres and loved it. Plenty of laughs and some great characters.

 

[kIdMuScLe]

It was alright. Had a chuckle here and there. Most characters seem boring or uninspired...

 

[Einbroch]

I really didn't like this movie. My wife and I almost left the theater. It was boring. Maybe I'm just not cool enough.

We both enjoyed Long Shot and Good Boys much more.

 

[rsfour]

top 10 moty.

 

[demosthenes]

Great movie.

 

[Deleted member 13328]

Me and the SO loved it. The Taxi/Uber scene is something else. Killed me haha.

 

[skipgo]

Booksmart rules, one of my favorite movies this year.

 

[Piston]

Best movie I've seen in theaters all year. Also the only one.

It was still really, really good though.

 

[Flex1212]

Very fun movie. Def has a female Superbad vibe going on.

 

[Camwi]

I thought it was pretty funny, but maybe could have used more comedy and less seriousness towards the end.

Billie Lourd was fucking awesome.

 

[Naijaboy]

I did. One of the best movies of the year too.
