Then the girls decide to make up for lost time and spend prom night really fun.

"Booksmart" — "The Breakfast Club" for Generation Z. Olivia Wilde's movie turns stereotypes upside down and makes you look at the people around you in a new way.

"It's a modern youth movie. It's a movie from the generation that ate hipsters and just hasn't had time to come up with a name for themselves yet, as they've been busy with a million other things. And perhaps that's the main thing about this movie, as it reflects all of its qualities. It's a movie:

• • Dynamic. Not a second is given to boredom. The synopsis doesn't even come close to reflecting what kind of events will take place on screen.
  • Sincere. We are told both things that have been talked about many times, but which are important not to start keeping quiet about, and things that one would normally prefer to skip over. Characters even on the run of their lives manage to be candid, at least in truth, at least in lies.
  • Funny. Funny characters, situations, dialog. Know anything about penis and vagina jokes that doesn't make you feel awkward? Well, you will. These are clever, cute, and not at all gross jokes about penises and vaginas.

Overall, the movie is great. I practically wanted to rewatch it immediately. There are alot of moments throughout the movie that you don't pay attention to at first, and that later come to light and take on their own little significance", — Kognir.

"The movie deservedly won its awards. It's stunningly shot. The tension is maintained until the very end, you really empathize with the characters", — RozaDitmar.

"Social and family problems are filtered through the prism of Robin Williams' simplicity, ingratitude and good-naturedness - something he manages with distinctive skill in many of his films. Watching this movie for the first time in his 32nd year of life turned out to be a spontaneous effort. The last mise-en-scene firmly sets the stage for the story without rubbing the viewer's imagination about sequel and understatement. It's a good movie", — Redopera.
