FILM REVIEW
In the winning ‘Booksmart,’
a teen comedy revolution
By JAKE COYLE
AP Film Writer
The insanely winning
“Booksmart” boasts too
many breakthroughs to count.
There are the two leads, Kait-
lyn Dever and Beanie Feld-
stein, both of whom we’ve
seen before but not like this.
There is the director, Olivia
Wilde, whose debut behind
the camera is remarkably
assured. And then there is
the teen comedy genre, itself,
which “Booksmart” has
blown wide open.
You can tell a lot by a
movie’s fi rst minutes. In
“Booksmart,” you know that
the smile on your face isn’t
likely to leave from the fi rst
moment that Molly (Feld-
stein) is picked up by Amy
(Dever) for their last day of
high school. Without a beat
but out of pure enthusiasm for
each other, they awkwardly
but confi dently pop and lock
their way into the street. The
party that is “Booksmart” has
already begun.
From
“Porky’s”
to
“American Pie,” the high-
school comedy has tradition-
ally been ruled by ups and
downs of male conquest. Yet
that’s been changing at least
since “Clueless.” Recently,
Kelly Fremon Craig’s “The
Edge of Seventeen,” Mari-
elle Heller’s “The Diary of
a Teenage Girl” and Greta
Gerwig’s “Lady Bird” have
pushed movies about teens
in enthralling new direc-
tions, delving deeper into
parenthood, friendship and
the pains of coming-of-age
with indelible female pro-
tagonists who exist well out-
side of the genre’s prescribed
archetypes.
“Booksmart” feels like a
victory lap in that evolution.
Having spent their high-
school years studying and
preparing to launch their
ambitious lives, Molly, the
class president, is headed to
Yale and Amy to Colum-
‘BOOKSMART’
A United Artists release,
is rated R by the Motion
Picture Association of
America for strong sexu-

ing teens.
Running time:
105 minutes.
Rating:
de’s movie is about how none
of the people around us are
necessarily who we think
they are. One after another,
the movie disarms superfi -
cial assumptions. Clichés get
comically stripped away and
real people step forward. It’s
a blast.
Along the way, Wilde
rides the night’s ebbs and
fl ows to the thumping score
of Dan the Automator, some-
times widening the view to
the larger ensemble (also
here are Jessica Williams and
Jason Sudeikis), but always
returning to the relationship
between Molly and Amy. It’s
a sweetly sincere bond they
have, complete with their
own code word. In a time of
need, either can invoke their
hero, the young Pakistani
activist Malala Yousafzai, to
demand the other’s absolute
faithfulness.
And Dever and Feld-
stein are just incredibly good
company. Feldstein, whose
brother Jonah Hill was part of
another excellent teen com-
edy (“Superbad”), has the
show-stopping performance
but even better is the more
deadpan Dever. Just like their
characters, they have big
futures in store.
Every generation gets
their own last-day-of-school
romp to replay over and
over. If “Booksmart” is the
movie for this era, well, lucky
kids. I call Malala. Go see

bia. With RBG and Michelle
Obama photos on her wall,
Molly plans to be on the
Supreme Court. But when
they approach who they
assume to be the deadbeats of
their Crockett High School in
Los Angeles ready to fl aunt
their sterling futures, it’s a
rude awakening. They, too,
are headed for Ivy league
schools or, at worst, a primo
job at Google.
“You guys don’t even
care about school,” Molly
protests. “No, we just don’t
only care about school,” one
replies.
With one last night to
reverse course, the two
friends embark on last/fi rst
hurrah, trying to cram a year’s
worth of partying into one
night rather than go through
with their original plans for
the evening: watching Ken
Burns’ “The Dust Bowl.”
Not being pros at it,
though, they spend much
of the movie — penned by
Susanna Fogel, Emily Halp-
ern, Sarah Haskins and Katie
Silberman — on an event-
ful odyssey just trying to fi nd
the popular-kids party and,
hopefully, running into their
long-concealed crushes: the

popular vice-president Nick
(Mason Gooding) for Molly;
a smiley skater girl name
Ryan (Victoria Ruesga) for
Amy.
The plot line won’t star-
tle anyone for its originality,
but its vitality will. Wilde is
especially good at sketching
out the girls’ classmates. It’s
a diverse and colorful spec-
trum of characters, the sort
of fashionable and hip kids
you might see at LA’s Holly-
wood High. Among the many
standouts: Skyler Gisondo, as
a rich kid without friends;
Nico Hiraga as another skater
kid; and Molly Gordon,
whose character’s reputa-
tion has earned her the nick-
name Triple A, as in “road-
side assistance.”
It could be argued that by
divesting itself of the kind
of “Breakfast Club” ste-
reotypes, “Booksmart” has
sapped itself of the kind of
confl ict that exists in every
high-school hallway. No one
turns out to be so bad. It’s
full of that graduation feel-
ing where old grudges slip
away. Rivals become friends,
or even lovers.
But from that rude awak-
ening scene onward, Wil-
