Booksmart
8/10
My
name is Dante and I am a 40 year old Black dude that really liked a
movie about two White chicks wanting to party before graduating high
school. By the way, full of random ass spoilers. A coworker told me
that this movie Booksmart was funnier than Tropic Thunder and I told
her to hold her horses because I fucking love that movie and the
commentary makes it even better. This was funny and had some parts
that made me crack up. I love Gigi. I want an entire movie with her
just appearing in places unexpectedly. This is about two girls named
Amy and Molly. They are the type of people that you roll your eyes at
or sigh when they enter the room and the other students do. Amy has
been out of the closet for a couple of years and her religious family
is fine with it. They just don't want details. She plans to head to
Botswana after school to make tampons for women in villages. Yeah.
She has a crush on this skateboarding girl named Ryan whose voice I
loved. Molly plans to go to Yale, get a great job, and a great
career.
One
day after hearing people talking mad shit about her Molly confronts
them. I was so glad she did because in so many movies people don't
and go cry in a room. She points out that while she is gonna be
making a better life for herself they will be partying and going
nowhere. They all reveal that they have great jobs and schools lined
up. Molly doesn't believe them and goes on a rampage asking where
everyone is going to school. She is pissed to find out that all these
fuck ups partied all this time and had fun but they are still going
to the same places as Amy and Molly. Molly decides that they need to
go this this guy Nick's party just to be able to say that they at
least did that.
They
lie to Amy's parents and head out wearing the same outfits. They
watch videos of Nick's party online and realize they have no idea
where the party is. They call this dude Jared who ends up taking them
to his party instead. Its on a big ass boat and no one is there. He
has hats for them, gift bags, and music. Then they bump into Gigi.
Gigi is always out of it but knows what she is talking about. After
consuming what they think is coke and eating strawberries they run
away after Gigi dives off the boat. Amy is like “We went to a
party. Now lets go home.” They call a Lyft and their principal
picks them up and they end up blasting porn through the car which had
me cracking up. They end up at another students murder mystery party
and fucking Gigi is there again! Molly is like “How are you dry?!”
Gigi lets them know that the strawberries they had was laced and
there is a crazy ass sequence where they are dolls. They end up
finding the pizza place that delivered to where the party is and try
to take the delivery man hostage. I loved this scene. He is like “Why
would you get into a strangers car? Do you have a gun? I do!”
I
honestly don't wanna ruin anymore of this movie. Everything I thought
this movie would do it managed not to. I thought “Oh, she is gonna
do this and this is gonna happen...” but none of it did. This movie
managed to be pretty unpredictable to me and made me crack up
laughing at parts. I liked that Amy was not struggling with being
gay. Everyone that did not like her or Molly had it based off their
personalities and not with who they were. This movie looked great
too. Visually this was a really good looking movie. The acting was
good and all the friendships were believable. Even the over the top
characters seemed realistic. Friends felt like real friends which is
something that does not always come across well in films. My only
complaints would be the length. It felt a tad bit long towards the
end and the music. This is just the old man in me. I'm sure all the
songs are cool and new. I just didn't like 'em. The trailer for this did it no favors. Overall a really
funny movie that is worth watching if you wanna laugh.
