Every so often I try to sample a contemporary Hollywood movie, hoping for an entertaining reward. Invariably, I am disappointed. Today I went to see "Booksmart" because it got a good rating from our website indicating good value. I have to report that Hollywood's artistic descent continues unchecked.
Where to start? The screenplay and script were amateurish beyond belief, and the acting not far behind. The script in particular is laced with every vulgarity and foul-mouthed expression extant. I can't imagine Beanie Feldstein has a future in movies, although I was wrong about Jonah Hill. What were the producers of this mess thinking? My rating reflects the thinking of a moviegoer over 21. I deserve what I got.
3 out of 10 - Website no longer prints my star rating.
