Library Cards and Laced Strawberries! BOOKSMART Movie Reaction/ Commentary

If you like hilarious best friend duos and semi-frequent occurrences of public humiliation then you'll love this full movie reaction to Booksmart!

[@Serenity113]

Carrie Fisher would have been proud of Billie Lourd’s performance as Gigi. She was the embodiment of chaotic energy 😂.

[@sabalos]

Has any joke ever aged as impeccably as 'Is that Cardi B?'

[@cupofcait]

TRULY 🤣

[@DarthKay093]

Gigi was the damn star of the movie and Billie Lourd was the embodiment of chaos and I loved it so damn much! Mom Carrie would have been proud!

[@melhawl3685]

Agreed

[@georgejrivera3388]

Perfect timing! It's like 4am where I'm at and I cant sleep, so this is perfect. I hope everyone has a wonderful day!

[@blue5622]

2am in the same boat and this is one of my favorites. Have a colorful dayyy~!

[@goldenageofdinosaurs7192]

I was there with you guys, but I ended up falling back asleep before I could watch it, so I watched it right when I re-woke up.

[@trg19982]

I went to an advanced screening of this and we had no idea what we were in for, it ended up being one of the best cinema experiences of my life! Everyone was in hysterics the vibe was amazing

[@jason5388]

This movie's a real gem. It's hilarious and has surprising nuance. I love your reactions. You've got the best observations and one-liners in the game and a contagious laugh

[@alex-oy9eo]

as much as I love horror, it's nice to see you doing more comedies!! I'd recommend Death Becomes Her, The Nice Guys and Game Night if you haven't seen them :)

[@MrBoyYankee]

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, CaddyShack, Stripes as far as horror goes for a 1 off watch 13,Sins Summer of 84, & It Follows.

[@Ken-ij4ry]

Game Night was a pleasant surprise

[@thewinner7382]

Second that! You sir have good taste.

[@itzakpoelzig330]

Oh, definitely Death Becomes Her! Although I wouldn't be surprised if Alanda has already seen it.

[@snakesnoteyes]

I legit used to hang with a chaos witch, and that was absolutely one of the best and wildest times of my life 😭. Never knew what what was going to happen, but it always chaos and it always turned out okay. Chaos witches look out for their people 🤷🏽‍♀️🤣

[@Wraiven22]

Chaos witch? Interesting, hadn't heard of this before!

[@thomasallan8731]

I remember seeing this movie and dying from laughter. Nobody wanted to see it with me so I watched it by myself and had the best darn time. Gigi and Jared remind me of my two best friends in high school. Love this movie and much love for you always!!!

[@lovelya9150]

“I would’ve took his iPod and his virginity” caught me off guard 😂 Also, you were a self defense instructor????? I think you would really like The Handmaiden 🔥 or The Perfection

[@AlandaParker]

I was in college! Y’all know I don’t play about livin no matter what 😂! And I def want to see the Handmaiden!!!

[@Hadouken65]

Somebody below recommended Death Becomes Her. BESTIE we need your reaction. Such a fantastic blend of comedy, noir and horror elements

[@klickbate9352]

Omg yessss

[@23mimiboo]

Pretty much my favorite of all time and just showed my 13yo daughter the movie last month, she loved it as well

[@kenlangston3451]

I saw this movie in the theaters on the same day I saw the Longshot with Charlize Theron and Seth Rogen and The Hustle with Anne Hathaway and Rebel Wilson. I did my part for supporting raunchy female led comedies that day.

[@mickyjoe97]

Your wheeze/laugh absolutely kills me everytime lmao!

[@acm966]

Everyone loves waking up to an Alanda reaction! 🌻💜

[@blondechyna6149]

Omg just noticed Chad of the Meeks twins when homegirl is freaking out about who’s going to what school in the beginning lol

[@dess234]

booksmart is probably one of my favorite coming of age comedy movies LMAOO. I'm glad you reacted to it. You should watch the edge of seventeen

[@AlandaParker]

Oh with Hailee Steinfeld! Saw and really liked it!

[@nitsugazemag]

Loved this movie so much I saw it 3 times in theaters. I wished it got more love at the box office and recognition that it truly deserved and still does.

[@richardperez7205]

Hope you enjoyed your birthday this weekend Alanda! Hearing that you used to be a self-defense instructor was so interesting and cool, you keep your privacy as you should but I love when we hear small details about you. I saw Booksmart for the first time a few weeks ago and it was hilarious! Olivia did a great job with her debut, all of those kids nailed it in those roles. Love Kaitlyn Dever and Billie Lourd stole every scene she was in. I’m excited for Olivia’s next movie with Florence, especially since it definitely does not look like a comedy. Both in general and for Pride, I think you should totally watch Everything Everywhere All At Once! It really is such a mind-blowing film. If your looking something let’s say a bit more simple but just as fun, Father Of The Bride came out on Thursday and it was such a cute movie, and also technically falls under the Pride umbrella! And I also personally want to recommend Midnight. It’s a Korean thriller, it came out last year, and I just know you’d have a TRIP watching it.

[@AlandaParker]

Thank you 😊🙏🏾💛! And thank you so much for the recs!!!

[@yoshibts4180]

I’m definitely excited to see more of Fear Street because the second movie is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE because the sibling bonds is always a treat to see in movies

[@haileelovesjennie1689]

another high school movie that’s happy and totally not sad is the perks of being a wallflower,, i would love to see you react!!

[@flumpking]

So happy to see you watching a few smaller indie movies in here too Alanda ☺️ You'll love Everything Everywhere All At Once 😇 Loved this reaction, still my fav reactor 🥰 x

[@AlandaParker]

I NEED to see EEAAO but I want to watch it in theaters for the first time 😭. It’s still playing in NY

[@flumpking]

@@AlandaParker Do it Alanda - you'll have an amazing time!!! 🥰 Definitely a great cinema experience! X

[@Kerwritervetgirl122]

I fucking love Billie Lourd in this. She’s so chaotic and crazy, and reminds me of her mom so much

[@schmuck.on.wheels]

I think this is a really well written and well made movie, but man, what really puts it over the top is the cast. I truly can't think of a movie filled with so many charming, full-of-potential young stars, from Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein (who are legit one of my favorite movie duos this century), to Billie Lourd and Skyler Gisondo, to so many of the smaller parts, so much character and charisma.

[@GraceNoel2222]

Yay!! Alanda! Ijust finished watching your reaction videos of Halloween, Scream and Chucky.. the best never laughed harder than your jokes and sense of humour. Had a rough weekend but you made me better. Thanks Alanda! ❤️❤️😊

[@AlandaParker]

🥰🥰🥰

[@GraceNoel2222]

@@AlandaParker 🥰❤️❤️

[@margaretruscoe5733]

here are the filming locations Alanda Parker for this movie Booksmart was filmed in Glendale, Pasadena, and Los Angeles, California. Molly's house was located at 1000 E. San Pasqual St, Pasadena. Filming locations included Overlook Trail, San Fernando Senior High School, and Lido Pizza.

[@rcbuckets]

It's refreshing to see you laugh and not in attempt to cope with Deborah's skin falling off. Cheers! See you next week for another great video!

[@AlandaParker]

😂🙏🏾

[@AnaFox]

My heart was hugged so tight with this video! What a treaaaaaat! 💗

[@AlandaParker]

🥰🥰🥰

[@joshdaniels]

I hope this doesn't come off as an offensive question as I'm a queer person myself, but i've been following Alanda for a while on here now but i never picked up on whether or not she may be queer until this video. Just wondering if she is? I love her so much! Her and Zzavid's reactions are goated.

[@alakesbrahms806]

That’s kinda what I’m wondering too. I hope this isn’t offensive too.

[@meghanmonroe]

If she isn't, I get the feeling she has some queer friends. She seems knowledgeable lol

[@arcelia3546]

i feel like she might be i have heared her say certian things that give off a queer vibe .

[@diegobello25]

this is such a comfort film for me!! so glad you reacted to thissss

[@migueleugenio5553]

WHERES bride of chucky girl it’s been months 😭😭

[@abemrofchak]

"Call the police! We're being robbed by supermodels!"

[@OliBert157]

Living for this commentary as always !!!

[@billielourd7400]

You're reaction to this movie is priceless 🤣

[@dylanaxel2723]

This movie is one of my favorites LOVE IT

[@onecoolghoul]

Girl, you gotta watch Fresh! It is a real whirlwind!

[@MZ-bl6wg]

I’d never seen this and freakin LOVE it!!! Gotta find it and see the whole thing! Your commentary is so positive and happy so Thankyou for adding some light to the world

[@introgeek5278]

I’m really hoping Olivia’s follow up “Don’t Worry Darling” delivers. The spec script I read was very surprising so I’ve got faith it’ll be good

[@destroya558]

i was so excited to see you'd reviewed this! one of my favorite movies and a true gem! i don't hear about about it.

[@ashtayenanceful]

Bro I needed to see genuine joy 🙌🏾

[@sabalos]

This was basically my favourite film of 2019, saw it like 5 times. I think I have a weird relationship with it, because I sort of half grew up in the UK and half in the US, but stayed in the UK for school ultimately, and the difference between the UK and the US is never so stark as it is when it comes to high school graduation. Have you seen The Birdcage (1996)? I'll throw in random recommendations for The Birdcage and The Fisher King, feeling in a Robin Williams mood today

[@Cagon415]

They were shaming that girl in the bathroom too. Highschool was a ratchet shameful mess 🤣.

[@thomasbaker2067]

Olivia Wilde made Book Smart so good.

[@tokencitizen5511]

Love this movie. Everything about it is 10/10.

[@proteus529]

‘Nother great review!! One of the best energies on KZbin ☺️ PLEASE do Wes Craven’s New Nightmare. I know you love Nancy, and she’s never been so beautiful! Best sequel since Dream Warriors!!

[@KNK2116]

I’m just starting the video & I’m SOOO excited to watch your commentary! I’m never this late to your reactions/commentaries but I’ve been super busy 😔. I mainly watch horror, however, I do sometimes watch other genres of movies & this was one I HAD to see & I was most definitely NOT disappointed. Such a clever & funny movie! ☺️

[@mylifefornick]

One of the funniest movies i seen recently. I loved it, wish they would make more like this.

[@juliant]

Excellent... just woke up and here it is. Hope you had a banging Birthday Alanda. Woop woop!!

[@EOMReacts]

I knew I was up at almost 2 am for a reason. Always the best cap to a weekend.

[@lycheeworld]

I recently just found your channel and I enjoy watching these films with you so much, you make me laugh harder LMAO

[@Scandalnb0825]

Just got off work so this is perfect timing for me to watch this 😂😂. Also if you want a lighthearted crazy pride film you should watch D.E.B.S

[@AlandaParker]

I saw DEBS as a kid and loved it 😂

[@keishie23]

Great movie, so hilarious 😂 your reaction is iconic!!

[@gagedylanYT]

You should definitely add Paranormal Activity The Marked Ones to your list. It’s definitely a really fun watch!

[@Griffnix]

Really loved this movie. I wanted to see this in theaters but none of the ones around me carried it.

[@kenlangston3451]

Beanie Feldstein is Jonah Hill’s sister.

[@horrorsthetics]

thank you for showing me a new film to watch with my bestie

[@CannonRaw]

Belated happy birthday! Thank you for uploading a comedy :D

[@AustinAshburn]

commenting to recommend that you react to EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE

[@bencaspar]

For a quick second I thought you were sporting a friar Tuck, but it's just your hair ornament.

[@AA1891]

Beanie has Booksmart and Jonah has Superbad. 2 great coming of age comedies.

[@sbarron20]

So true!

[@tylerfoster6267]

A couple other films that I like from around the same time about female friendship are Banana Split (on Netflix) and the much raunchier/R-rated Never Goin' Back.

[@michaeledwards5020]

Enjoyed this so much 😂😂

[@paranoidalex]

they filmed this at my school 🙈

[@KatiaSalazar]

BOOKSMART!!??? ALANDA YOURE KILLING ME WITH THESE MOVIES 😭❤️❤️

[@aaronridall8023]

Definitely not on the same genre or level as this, but I think you'd really enjoy The Perks of Being a Wallflower. It's originally a book and the author directed the film. Starring Logan Lerman, Emma Watson, and Ezra Miller. Can't recommend it enough, though it deals with a lot of tough issues.

[@Nono_96]

GIRRRRRLLL!!!!! You NEED to react to Romy and Michele's High School Reunion!!! OMGGGGG ITS SO GOOD!!!!

[@Wraiven22]

Loved this! For more recent movies I highly recommend Dashcam and Fresh! Love you Queen Alanda!!

[@epicmyth457]

Olivia Wilde please make more amazing funny heartfelt movies.

[@ThompsonKimber]

If you like beanie Feldstein, you should watch impeachment, but she plays Monica Lewinsky. Sarah Paulson plays Linda trip and she’s unrecognizable. AMAZING PERFORMANCE!

[@briandrumgold642]

Oh my goodness 😂😂😂 This movie was crazy funny

[@Che-e]

I'm not the only one who's awake long after even God is asleep.

[@godsson231]

It’s 3am here and I needed this laugh with my Sistuh Alanda Parkuhhh Made me wanna sing “We’re the parrrrrkkkkkker!!” Moesha days hehehe

[@margaretruscoe5733]

this is my first time watching this movie too I've never heard of this movie

[@Justitia_Nomen]

I haven’t seen this since it was in theaters and I forgot how enjoyable it was :-) React to Annihilation please!

[@austin_c_9080]

If you haven't seen Beanie in Impeachment as Monica Lewinsky I would recommend it a lot.

[@AngelReyes-lz8cb]

I just woke up and its 4 am and am surprised to see this buy yay♥️♥️

[@jamesbristoll7943]

I really need to see this film!!!

[@tylerfoster6267]

Just saw the rest of the video, and if you upgrade But I'm a Cheerleader to the new Blu-ray, there's a new extended director's cut of the film (and it got a beautiful 4K remaster -- I'm hoping they put it out on actual 4K disc as well as Blu-ray).

[@Robot666House]

Love that they had What's Golden by Jurassic 5 in this, such an underrated classic.

[@toriecarter2711]

I hadn't seen this movie (probably cause I didn't think I was the demographic, the trailers didn't do it justice, or something~), but I always watch your reactions. And now I'm probably going to set aside some time soon to watch the full thing, cause just the bits in the reaction had me in stitches!!!~ Also, self-defense instructor??? You can't gloss over things like that! Tell us more^.^ [I'm still holding out hope someone will wanna react to the dumpster fire that you can't look away from that is Cursed(2004) by Wes Craven *and* Kevin Williamson~^.^]

[@AlandaParker]

Oh I’m def gonna do Cursed at some point! It’s been decided! And you should absolutely watch this whole film! So much good stuff I had to cut out 🙏🏾💛

[@Katweex]

Would love love love to see you react to the new season of What We Do in the Shadows that's going to be released next month!

[@beeggym666]

Not sure how I missed this, but it has become an instant priority!

[@einhochaufhorror7344]

They kinda remind me of Lennon Parham and Jessica St. Clair in their shows Best Friends Forever and Playing House. Great comedy shows!

[@MZ-bl6wg]

You’ve got THE best laugh on KZbin! 🏆

[@leonh.kalayjian6556]

Glad I found you. You're hilarious

[@markalexander3659]

Never seen this movie before. Looking forward to watching it with you!

[@phatboybright]

It’s the 4am upload for me ❤️ insomnia cure I know I’ll have to rewatch when I wake up.

[@xleandrax]

Omg love this film, loool so random but so goood lol

[@meheuck]

It's not nearly as madcap, but I recently revisited Maria Maggenti's THE INCREDIBLY TRUE ADVENTURE OF 2 GIRLS IN LOVE and besides being an adorable first crush story, it's consistently funny. The two stars, Laurel Holliman and Nicole Ari Parker, both got cast in BOOGIE NIGHTS after it came out, plus you get to see a young Dale Dickey.

[@shainewhite2781]

The funniest teen comedy that critics call the "21st century version of Animals House."

[@ann6y5ng]

My queer film recommendations: Pariah, And Then We Danced, Pride, Flee, Saving Face, The Way He looks, Knife + Heart (queer horror), Tomboy, Dog Day Afternoon, Raw and Titane (queer horror), Tokyo Godfathers, Carol, Moonlight, Kajillionaire, Rope, Straight Up, The Favourite, and Shiva Baby :)

[@tylerfoster6267]

Lots of good recs here. Seconding Pariah, Tomboy, Kajillionare, and Rope in particular.

[@jorgehernandez4098]

Gigi is my dream role

[@Josiahpapayas]

Love this 😂❤️

[@lionkid8100]

Not me having to google what corporeal meant💀 we getting entertainment and information lol

[@jasp19]

Love this movie as a comedy and it hit some real spots. I wish kids would have been as openminded when I went to high school though, cause if THAT would have been a movie it would have been bleakocity,.
