And this week's Friday night movie has been... Booksmart!

Behold: Another movie that i have been wanting to see for quite some time but, for some reason or another, I never got around to it. Well, seeing as this is on Iview, I guess now is a good time as any.
For the uninitiated, this movie tells the story of two high schoolers who are best friends and are hardworking students. Upon realising they haven't had much of a high school experience outside of their work, they decide to spend the night before graduation going to a party. And as this is a movie, such a plan does not go...according to plan.
I have seen plenty of movies with this scenario but this still manages to stand out for a number of reasons. Firstly, these characters seem real and relatable. Secondly the gross-out humour is kept to a minimum. And thirdly it is actually funny. Makes me wonder: Did director Olivia Wilde watch the movies that follow the American Pie template and thought: 'I can do better than that"?
No matter: i like this movie a lot: It was funny, the characters seem exactly like the kind of people one would meet in high school, the situations never seem ludicrous, the script is funny and clever and it can be surprisingly touching.
Actually let me say it up font: Bugger American Pie, this is better
