Cine: Booksmart (2019)

Molly (Beanie Feldstein) y Amy (Kaitlyn Dever), amigas desde siempre, pasaron toda la época del instituto buscando la perfección académica, requisito necesario para ingresar a una universidad prestigiosa. Sin embargo, cuando descubren que sus compañeros, que ocuparon su tiempo en juegos, juergas, amoríos y alguna que otra intervención química, han logrado apuntarse a universidades como Harvard o Yale, deciden que no pueden pasar el año final sin haber disfrutado algo de ese desquicio juvenil.

¿Otra típica comedia adolescente desaforada? No tanto como creen. La actriz Olivia Wilde marca su debut en la dirección con esta comedia en la que las protagonistas deciden buscar la fiesta de Nick (Mason Gooding), interés romántico de Molly, por considerarla más bulliciosa. Amy se le une porque cree poder encontrarse con Ryan (Victoria Ruesca), la chica a la que se siente atraída. Por el camino, pasarán por una fiesta en un barco, organizada por Jared (Skyler Gisondo), de familia más que acomodada, y recaerá en la de George (Noah Galvin) y su pareja Alan (Austin Crute), en la que se desarrolla una de esas reuniones en las que se juega a buscar al asesino de uno de los asistentes. No es lo que esperan, así que siguen en su cruzada reivindicativa. Cuando encuentran la dirección de la casa de Nick, la cual desconocían pero logran acceder por circunstancias afortunadas, se lanzan a la aventura, pero (suele suceder), las expectativas no siempre van de la mano de la realidad.

Un gran elenco secunda a las protagonistas de esta película, conocida como "Súper empollonas" en España y "La noche de las nerds" en Argentina: Lisa Kudrow y Will Forte (Charmaine y Doug Antsier, padres de Amy), Jason Sudeikis (el director de la escuela, Jordan Brown), Jessica Williams (la señorita Fine) y Billie Lourd (Gigi, amiga de Jared), Eduardo Franco (Theo) y Mike O´Brien (Pat, un repartidor de pizza con algunos secretos inconfesables), entre otros talentos.

FRIENDSHIP PREVAILS IN “BOOKSMART” article by Ronnie Gorham

Photo Credit: Annapurna Pictures/Francois Duhamel

For the most part, our fondest memories of high school weren’t the boring lectures, grueling hours of homework, or terrible lunches they served but rather the friendships we experienced during those four magical years. BOOKSMART is a hilarious new comedy directed by Olivia Wilde(actress/director) that transports you back to those days of ole and gives you all the nostalgic feels of what it felt like to make the transition from a teen into adulthood. Packed with an incredibly funny script, great directing, and some pretty memorable cast performances, BOOKSMART is a film you’ll be talking about for years to come

BOOKSMART

The movie follows the ingenious story of two middle-class teenagers named Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever). The two are not exactly what you would call the popular kids in their school but they’re somewhere caught in the middle. They always kind of hold themselves above their classmates and have spent the last four years of school ditching parties and avoiding fun to focus on their studies so they could get into Ivy League schools. Their hard work pays off as Molly is heading off to Yale and Amy to Columbia.

But, on the last day of their senior year in high school, they realize that all the kids who partied and never took school serious also got into really good schools. Molly fed up with the fact that they’ve missed out on four years of fun decides that they need to get it out of their system the night before graduation. They decide to attend an end of the year party being thrown by one of their popular classmates but don’t know his address. The rest of the film takes our two young beauties on a hysterical journey of antics that includes using their hair as masks to intimidate a pizza delivery driver.

Is It a Good Film?

The movie is a fun, engaging time at the cinema and an instant classic. From the moment the opening scene starts, you know this is going to be a wild ride. And, what makes it such an incredibly entertaining flick besides the brilliant directing by first-time film director/actress Olivia Wilde is its leads, Molly and Amy. Feldstein and Dever’s chemistry couldn’t be reinvented in a lab, the moment they step on the screen you instantly fall in love with their friendship towards each other.

It manages to avoid the gender stereotype of just checking off a box that says we made a new high school coming of age comedy movie about two teenage girls instead of boys. But rather the writer’s tell a compellingly funny story about friendships, discovering who you are, and the sometimes life-altering changes that life brings after high school. The film also does a great job of diversifying its cast to reflect the real world. And Amy’s storyline in the film talks about her sexuality as a lesbian but what’s great is how the writer’s give it the same normality that you would any other character.

The Cast

In addition to Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever, Olivia Wilde and writers Sussana Fogel, Emily Harpern, Sarah Haskins, and Katie Silberman put together a stellar cast of talented young actors. First, there’s Skyler Gisondo as the wealthy kid who’ll virtually do anything for friends. Then, there’s Austin Crute and Noah Galvin who play a couple of gay theater students. Diana Silvers is the girl with a chip on her shoulder and Molly Gordon who’s known throughout the school as Triple A. (You’ll have to see the flick to know what that means)

Each cast member kills it in their performances but it’s Billie Lourd (Scream Queens) as Gigi that takes the comedy to a whole other level. Her character is kind of a free-spirited hippie type that shows up at the most awkward of moments and does crazy things like dive head first off a cruise ship. There are some other noteworthy brief but humorous moments with Jessica Williams(The Daily Show, The Incredible Jessica James) who plays Molly and Amy’s teacher. Lisa Kudrow (Friends) and Will Forte (The Last Man on Earth) play Amy’s adorable but oblivious suburban parents and Jason Sudeikis (Horrible Bosses) as the school principal.

That’s a Wrap

Overall, BOOKSMART is a fun adrenaline filled high school comedy that is totally worth watching, see it in theaters if you get the chance. I’m sure that we’ll be seeing a lot more of Beanie Feldstein and Kaitlyn Dever in the future as their performances easily garner 11 out of 10. Olivia Wilde’s first film directorial debut is a huge success and it’ll be interesting to see what project behind the camera she tackles next. Booksmart has set a new bar for coming of age high school comedies and has joined my own personal favorite films of all-time list.

Review : Booksmart (2019)

With about six weeks left in 2019, it’s getting down to the wire in terms of playing catch-up for good movies that I missed this year. Getting around to seeing everything was a little tougher, due to 2019 being the year of blockbuster flicks against limited run independent darlings. One of the buzz releases this year came from esteemed actress, writer and director Olivia Wilde in the form of Booksmart, and after letting this one get in and out of theaters, I finally found an opportunity to check it out during a recent flight.

Amy (Kaitlyn Dever) and Molly (Beanie Feldstein), childhood best friends, are wrapping up high school (as Salutatorian and Valedictorian, respectively) and firmly focused on their future. Amy is planning on heading to Botswana for the summer before attending Columbia University, while Molly is preparing for Harvard, and on their last day of school, the pair is conducting business as usual. Molly’s world is rocked, however, when she finds out that the majority of her peers she sees as slackers and partiers are somehow moving on to futures just as bright as Molly and Amy, which sends Molly into a panic over her missing out on partying during their high school years. Desperate to prove that she is cooler than perceived, Molly convinces Amy to join her on a quest to attend a party thrown by Nick (Mason Gooding), her high school Vice President, notorious slacker, and Molly’s secret crush. After convincing Amy’s parents (Will Forte and Lisa Kudrow) to let her out of the house, Molly and Amy head into a night that the pair will never forget, as it tests the limits of their friendship while also serving as an eye-opening set of experiences.

First and foremost, the elephant in the room must be addressed : this film, as delightful and strong as it is, gives off extremely strong Superbad vibes. There is, of course, a gender flip in terms of the starring roles, and a few social dynamics are flipped around in terms of the satellite community of students and staff, but the energy of irreverent-yet-intelligent high schoolers partaking in activities well beyond their years, with little to no filter given in the presentation, will generate inevitable comparisons. That being said, I don’t see it as a bad thing overall, as the personality of both films take precedence over the similarities of the films. These two films would actually play extremely well as a double-feature, in my humble opinion.

Booksmart really and truly shines in regards to the characters that populate the world of the film. Amy and Molly are wonderfully presented protagonists, with their friendship being strong, but not devoid of conflict. Nick, George, Alan, Triple A, Hope, Theo and Ryan all give new and exciting energy to tropes that have been run into the ground in terms of high school films. Principal Jordan Brown is a wonderful enigma, with his burnt out energy in his principal role playing a wonderful juxtaposition against his try-hard Lyft-driver presentation. Miss Fine embodies the energy of the modern teacher who still connects with her students in terms of social moires, sometimes to the detriment of adult responsibility. Pat the Pizza Guy is an odd character moment that eventually pays off wonderfully in terms of narrative. Speaking of narrative-influencing characters, Jared turns out to be one of the most sympathetic high-school characters committed to film to date, with his sidekick Gigi being a personal favorite of mine... Gigi’s odd attachment to Amy actually echoed how much those two were my favorite characters in a world of enjoyable characters.

Booksmart is surprisingly strong in many areas of the presentation, giving the film a much needed boost out of the world of trite, by the book high school movies. The cinematography is incredible throughout : the still shots are composed like little works of art, the camera moves are unique and energetic while also informing us emotionally on their subject(s), and the underwater shots during the party are straight-up immersive (no pun intended). The soundtrack is a banger from front to back, with a lot of alternative and ‘just above the underground’ artists and music being perfectly applied to their visual counterparts. The drug trip scene is one of the most memorable, stark and hilarious committed to film in recent years. The writing is extremely strong as well, both in terms of overall narrative arc and in terms of character banter.

The chemistry between Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein is electric, with their witty banter and joyful exuberance going back and forth and growing in a synergistic manner throughout. Skyler Gisondo embraces try-hard awkwardness without sacrificing vulnerability or sensibility, and his timid-fueled fronting balances well against Billie Lourd’s reckless abandon, as she traverses the film like a carefree leaf on the wind. Victoria Ruesga seems like she was bringing genuine joy to the table, as did Mason Gooding (to a slightly lesser, more traditional extent), which makes their connection make sense, though it does come as a bit of a surprise. Eduardo Franco manages to elude the stoner comedy trope while still having a few genuine funny moments. Noah Galvin and Austin Crute’s connection also works well, providing an alternative, parallel friendship to mirror that of Dever and Feldstein. As for the adults, Jessica Williams and Jason Sudeikis both give surprising amounts of depth and dimension in their limited appearances, while Lisa Kudrow does a great job of matching the comedic chops of Will Forte in their husband and wife portrayal. Appearances by Diana Silvers, Molly Gordon, Michael Patrick O’Brien and a voice cameo by Maya Rudolph round things out.

Booksmart really and truly lived up to the hype that surrounded it during release. I had a feeling that I would enjoy this film quite a bit, but I was surprised by the fact that I’m considering including this on my year-end top ten list... possibly in a pretty high spot. I definitely recommend this one for those looking to kick back for a couple of hours and dive into an enjoyable experience.
