Walks a similar path to Ladybird, Edge of Seventeen, Blockers et al: A classic high school comedy for 21st century sensibilities, with a script that mines for both cleverness and empathy. (Which isn't to say it doesn't have the obligatory gross-out moments.) Maybe a bit predictable towards the end, but consistently funny and positive, and I want to see Beanie Feldstein in more things.

Hilarious! More is more. Men extra allt blir till slut lite tröttsamt. Så fastän jag skrattade ganska mycket blir betyget bara en trea. Beanie Feldstein har dock tajmingen som komedienne.

A mix of Superbad and Can't Hardly Wait, but directed by someone like Noah Baumbach (which is saying something given this is Wilde's directorial debut). It hits the same realistic tone that really captures what it's like to be that age, but obviously done through exaggerated/heightened situations. The two main characters were incredibly well written and the acting from them was superb. My only complaint is the second party and obligatory drug sequence didn't really add much.

It treads some very familiar territory, reminiscent in particular of Superbad (Jonah Hill's actual sister? Are you serious?). But it's an acceptable, watchable flick at a time when we're suffering a dry spell of comedies, buoyed by a strong supporting cast and a tight script.

This must be the most positive high school in the world.. Beyond amazing film.. The only thing I can take down about this film is the third act being too positive and the teacher sub plot, but the film carries you through so well that it doesn't take down much. Every aspect of this film is amazing, acting, directing, editing, the characters, the pace, the chemistry.. One of the, if not the, best film of 2019 so far.. Maybe the last couple of years..

Good film. Strong acting from the leads, and while the supporting cast was considerably weaker, it didn't detract from the hilarity. It's like Superbad, but better.

Almost exactly the same as Superbad and with Hills sister which is hilarious. Nowhere near as funny tho and it doesn’t have as much to say (Superbad is one of the more underrated films of the 2000s), but these teen comedies you can just pump it straight into my veins.

Feels a little contrived as it sets itself up but the payoff is well worth it: the oddball central duo have great chemistry (see their mutual flattering outside the party) and the rest of the diverse character ensemble all have their moments and even arcs (see Jared's tear-jerking vulnerability). Good writing is made even better by stellar direction: Wilde's theatrical flair (see the ceremony entrance) and excellent use of music perfectly capture the extreme drama and emotion of teen life.

This is a clever coming of age flick, with marvelous leads and some lovely supporting roles,.both from younger actors and SNL alumni. The script doesn't shy away from tropes, but this excellence with which it's realized elevates the final product.

The longer this went on, the more I admired it from every angle: Olivia Wilde's fantastic direction, the hilarious and relevant script, the goddamn acting, my god, these kids are outstanding. People have been comparing it to Superbad, but it's better than that. In the tiny moments where the laughs are light, the film exhibits a genuine heart.

The central relationship is stellar: refreshing, hilarious, and touching in turns, though the betrayal beat felt disingenuous. The film is a comedy of substance, focused on friendship and character (primaries and secondaries are given moment, meaning, and laughs), and its humour is effective and smart. Unique in its genre. Strong performances, script, and music. A great comedy and a solid film.

Another excellent entry in the 2010s teen movie canon, with superb lead performances, assured direction from Wilde, a smart, hilarious, and refreshingly frank script, and a killer soundtrack. Somewhat unaware of it’s own WASPiness, and that hallucination scene was a comedy black hole for me, but overall a fantastic time. Can we make Kaitlyn Dever a star now? She’s been killing it since Justified in 2011.

I think this movie is made for kids. It's definitely not made for me, and I don't even consider myself an adult. It's structured for an audience with little to no attention span: every three minutes we're treated to a new setting with new crazy lighting, new wacky characters, and new hip music. What's worse: All characters are stereotypes, people show up in multiple places for no reason, and they make consistently nonsensical decisions.

The Superbad for a new generation. Or a Superbad written with a female touch. Movie is funny and sweet. The characters are crazy but they still were able to remind me of people I went to school with. Direction of some scenes is amazing and experimental in a good way. Although you can tell Wilde is a rookie director from a few of her shots

I really hated it personally. I found the lead female characters so annoying in it. Why make them so goddamn obnoxious and so in-your-face? I found barely anything that funny in it at all. All the other characters are mostly weak and don't offer anything memorable. Nothing made it stand out from your average teen girl Comedy movie. It's predictable, cliche, vulgar, and just plain dumb. The acting is fine, the production values are decent, but it was a massive disappointment for me overall.

even with some traditional high school movie tropes and the usual beautiful-teenager-syndrome that feels weird in a post Eighth Grade world, but the charm is there enough for me to concede this is enjoyable, even if it's not for me.

Nothing feels real, and none of the jokes land. Imagine taking high school movie cliches as reality and then building a higher level of movie cliches on top of that. This is that movie.

Wilde and her young actors achieve believably lovable and familiar characters. Akin to past teen coming-of-age, expletive-laden comedies (most notably Superbad), but is more companion than rehash. Here, the character motivations propelling the narrative forward are more aligned with the characters’ values (beautifully synonymous with its themes). Everything after the party scene unfolds sloppily. This film earned an emotionally-resonant ending that it couldn’t deliver. Also, qualify editing.

The chemistry between the leads is palpable and believable, it feels like they're friends in reality. It hits all the notes you'd expect from a coming-of-age piece, but it does so gracefully and it doesn't hesitate to flip classic high school tropes upon it's head. The LGBTQ representation feels organic, not pandering and forced. The dialogue is grounded and real. To call it a "female superbad" would be undermining what it has to say; it does more than enough to stand out from lazy comparisons

Each year has a teen comedy that surprises me and this is one. It plays with current culture in interesting ways, using it for its comedy... which mostly works. I wouldn't say it's laugh out loud funny, but it's got plenty of chuckles. It's fueled by the chemistry between the two leads, who are completely believable as besties. It's a joyful experience, goes by quick. Wilde pieced the chaos together admirably, injecting a sufficient amount of flair without burying it.

It was alright. Some things didn't work, particularly the wacky rich girl character. Also it seemed there were too many characters, that would pop up for the 2nd time and it seemed we were supposed to recognize them from over an hour before, but I for one could not.

What the hell is with these random people (Bo Burnham, Greta Gerwig and now Olivia Wilde of all people) coming out of nowhere and making fantastic teen movies recently? This is a marvellously entertaining and heartfelt little movie. Immensely charming performances from the leads, tons of laughs, a strong emotional core, infectious energy and a surprising amount of visual panache for a first time director (did I mention that it's Olivia Wilde?!).

Olivia Wilde, if you're reading this, you should also direct music videos. You're a talented director. I didn't like the script. My favorite scene was about Skyler Gisondo' and Billie Lourd's characters were having their own party apart from the more "popular" one. I would watch an entire movie about these characters as main ones. Being rich and on drugs and have my own parties is a more interesting idea than any other contemporary script. Thank you for reading!

It took me 30 minutes to get into the rhythm and understand that the hectic was intentional and then I was able to enjoy this neurotically optimistic portray of a generation.
