Booksmart

I had an after-epiphany why this does not get quoted as much as 'Mean Girls' or 'Superbad'. It is because the funniest moments (well to me) are more physical rather than a quote-able line e.g. Beanie Feldstein's wide-eyed moments, perfectly timed gag reflexes, Ling Ling! 
Two thumbs up - "Booksmart's central love story is the platonic one between Molly and Amy. This shouldn't feel revolutionary, but I still well up every time I see two young women on screen adoring each other rather than compteing" - Greta Parry for The Guardian. Rewatched because of this beautifully written piece that says everything I feel about the movie, but better. Watch it and read it!!
