neutral · AI labelView post →LISA is set to star in a new ‘Notting Hill-inspired’ romantic comedy for Netflix. The film is written by Katie Silberman (‘Booksmart,’ ‘Set It Up.’)
neutral · AI labelView post →Was just reminded of the deranged faux controversy where Seth Rogen was talking about how weird it was that all the kid actors in The Fabelmans loved Superbad and joked “I guess no one’s made a good high school movie since” and there were clickbait headlines about how he disrespected Booksmart
neutral · AI labelView post →Tank Girl. It may just be a guilty pleasure but I'll defend it. I guess Starship Troopers is THE movie for this, although I'm always suprised to find out people used to like it unironically. Due date, with Robert Downey Jr and Galifianakis is a surprisingly earnest soft remake of Planes, Trains and Automobiles and nobody remembers it exists. Speaking of unexpectedly fun raunchy comedies, Booksmart. I want to say The Long Kiss Goodnight, but man, the action in that is janky in…

neutral · AI labelView post →I was sort of thinking not enough people *saw* "BOOKSMART" that it wouldn't have the problem that every male version of that same movie has people not understanding that these characters are NOT aspirational just because they're the protagonists but ...I guess not 🤷♂️
neutral · AI labelView post →With the return of the Gilded Age, I encourage you to watch it with several things in mind: 1. The creator of Tetris released a game called Hatris with battling hats. This show is Hatris. 2. Marion and Peggy are in an 1890s version of the movie Booksmart 3. Mrs Fish IRL was even more unhinged

neutral · AI labelView post →As much as I enjoyed BOOKSMART, that movie plays it for laughs when Jessica Williams’s high school teacher preys on a high school boy. That movie came out in 2019.
neutral · AI labelView post →“One of Them Days” was cute. Vibes-wise, it’s like “Friday” crossed with “Booksmart.” Keke Palmer is great, as usual. Sza was surprisingly good. It’s not a “MUST SEE” kind of movie. But it’s a cute couple 97 minutes.
neutral · AI labelView post →I really liked the film Booksmart, which is kind of like a genderswapped Superbad, definitely worth a watch.
positive · AI labelView post →I don't think we have another movie like this. A little bit Bottoms, a little bit Booksmart, but also gleefully its own thing
neutral · AI labelView post →Name a movie that flopped at the box office but is actually great #FilmSky Because I rewatched it recently: BOOKSMART. Can’t help but feel this film makes bank with male leads.
positive · AI labelView post →Booksmart, though the farther we get away from that movie the more it looks like an all time cast

neutral · AI labelView post →Also so random for Taylor to shout out Booksmart. It’s one of my favorite movies and amazing but she had no ties to this movie at all. Just odd that she “randomly” promoted it
positive · AI labelView post →Booksmart [84] is a Metacritic Must-See ($4 VOD): www.metacritic.com/movie/booksm... #11pmspecial "Nothing funnier, smarter, quicker or more joyous has graced the big screen in a long time." - Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
neutral · AI labelView post →In fact it's *so* that vibe that when I went to look at the other blurbs for it I saw I wasn't even the only author who described it that way. I don't know *how* it nails that feel so hard? But it's just done so cinematically. I haven't seen Booksmart, which is the film comp, but I bet it's spot on.
neutral · AI labelView post →The best movie of the past 5 years is Booksmart.

positive · AI labelView post →Tbh imagine if 2 year old Benny was sucked into a teenage party movie like Superbad, Booksmart, Dazed and Confused and Fast Times at Ridgemont High he would be having both the time of his life playing around and teasing with the wild teens and cringing at the stupid teenage behaviors. #Octember!
neutral · AI labelView post →why is this movie seemingly just the entire cast of Booksmart lmao #bb28
neutral · AI labelView post →I watched it for Molly Gordon whom I enjoyed in Booksmart (2019). I gave Oh, Hi 2.5 stars Another film I enjoyed with her was Shiva Baby (2020). She's not the star but her turn in the film is entertaining...that movie is good imo.
neutral · AI labelView post →She's talented! I liked Booksmart but avoided that badly-reviewed Styles one and she's definitely back on form with this. And, (maybe it's with her directing and Rashida Jones co-writing), I genuinely didnt think of Woody Allen at all. A more 'modern' and fun film for adults.
positive · AI labelView post →What do you mean you haven't seen the movie Booksmart??
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m watching Booksmart. This movie gets better every time I see it. I love Superbad too and a tiny bit more but I think that’s my internalized sexism probably. Or Bill Hader.
positive · AI labelView post →You've inherited a movie theater, what's your first double feature? PRETTY IN PINK (1986) and BOOKSMART (2019) Has there been any crit comparing these two? I'm lousy at that kind of writing; I think there's some there there & I'd love to see a deeper analysis than what my brain can come up with.

positive · AI labelView post →Bottoms was the first high school hijinks movie in a couple of years that slapped for me. Booksmart before that and then shit I'd have to go back to the 90s
positive · AI labelView post →No, it is literally a scene by scene remake of BOOKSMART directed by John Waters. All right, it is a film that comes across "as if" BOOKSMART had been directed by John Waters.
neutral · AI labelView post →Omg. I'm watching a horror movie where the Booksmart girl, Kaitlyn Dever, gets up in the middle of the night, and there is some kind of weird-moving thing in her house . . . and I'm freaking out. No One Will Save You. It's on Hulu.
neutral · AI labelView post →i think it's kind of cute that there was a point in time where i was scared to watch the movie Booksmart because i was too insecure about my lack of female socialization and my never having done anything "wild" before. ive come a long way since then
positive · AI labelView post →The Invite it GREAT. All the cast are exceptional but my affection for Seth Rogen is only getting stronger. And I think this might be Wilde's strongest movie yet, and I LOVED Booksmart.
positive · AI labelView post →Who is the coolest woman in a movie? Billie Lourd in Booksmart. #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →That’s such a fun, and deliberate choice! Booksmart is a fantastic movie about two brilliant, gifted teenagers dealing with the last day of school. It’s very funny, very weird, very smart and launched at least rheee major careers. That being a touchstone for Starfleet Academy is so cool!
neutral · AI labelView post →Gonna watch Booksmart cause it’s a good film and it makes me happy.

positive · AI labelView post →Yeah, I’m going. Can’t actually remember the last time I watched a proper comedy movie at the cinema, maybe Booksmart? Definitely before Covid. Really hoping the Spinal Tap movie is worth it too.
neutral · AI labelView post →In brighter news... I rewatched BOOKSMART last night, and that movie Holds UP. Funny, poignant, and smart AF. This film must not fade from the collective.
positive · AI labelView post →Anyway I can't find my copy of The Big Sick so I put on my copy of Stuber and it started with the trailer for Booksmart so I aborted and put on my copy of Booksmart and it started with the trailer for Stuber so I reborted. Am watching Stuber. No one loves her* like me (* the classic film, Stuber)
neutral · AI labelView post →Also teaching a large lecture class for the first time next term (teen dev, 200 students), and I’m having them write an essay that grades a teen movie (eg Booksmart) for it scientific realism (inspired by @evatelzer.bsky.social ‘s class I took when I was an undergrad)
neutral · AI labelView post →Bottoms - which I have been literally refreshing google since the summer to find out when it was out in the UK - is a day-glo quick fire cartoonish queer mashup of Booksmart and Fight Club with so much stuff happening in every scene it cries out for an immediate rewatch
neutral · AI labelView post →Does Bottoms break any new ground? No. Is it up there with the aforementioned Booksmart or Blockers? Certainly not. But I’d be lying if I said this wasn’t a delight the whole way through. Coby Kiefert reviews: www.filminquiry.com/bottoms-2023...

neutral · AI labelView post →Was looking at my letterboxd stats. This probably isn't accurate, because there was a period I didn't know to add films to my diary I just hit "watched", but apparantly Booksmart was the first film I ever logged on there! Interesting.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm going to have to find the right time to see The Odyssey. That runtime. Hoping it's great, looks so (though not my favorite genre, tbh). I think I'd have The Invite in my top ten of '26 at the moment. I really need to see Wilde's 2019 movie Booksmart. (I hear Don't Worry Darling isn't as good).
