Booksmart

A gauntlet of high school parties, all crammed into the night before graduation!

This movie delivers on all the whimsical, outlandish, and hilarious antics that fans of high school comedies like "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" have come to expect. But it expands its lens through centering the experiences of young (LGBTQ+) women, complimented by a cast brimming with characters of color and diverse sexualities. With this inclusivity, as well as some modern dilemmas like awkward Lyft run-ins and dying phone batteries, Booksmart proves that superb teen comedies can transcend the experiences and era depicted in the works of John Hughes.
