I’m all Mexican food full right now and a teenage comedy sounded good. Even though high school movies make me cringe so hard. It’s actually painful to watch at times.

This follows two very high achieving girls on their last day of school (Molly and Amy ). Molly is the valedictorian of her class and worked hard, but she finds out that the so called fuck ups got into excellent schools as well. She decides with Amy that they need to party. They end up at a crazy boat party with only two other people, get picked up their principal who is an über driver, a murder mystery party, have a run in with a serial killer, and a popular kids party at a huge house.

Things are looking up at the party. The girl Amy has a crush on us at the party and the guy Molly likes is making out with the girl in question. Amy is trying to get Molly to leave and they end up getting in a huge fight with kids filming it. Unexpected encounters occur and the cops show up. Amy distracts the police and ends up in jail. Molly, feeling bad for the fight bails her out and they get to go to graduation.

The thing about these films is that there are so many things that happen that kids wish would happen. Driving on a field in an expensive car and wrecking the fence, dropping an F bomb in your graduation speech, throwing water balloons and confetti around the school on the last day, confessions of true understanding, and finding unexpected romance. As an adult who happens to work at a school, none of that would actually happen. Someone has to pay for the fence, we have metal detectors, and life has actual consequences. But we don’t want to think about that in a movie, right?

More than anything this again is a movie about friendship, taking chances, female empowerment, and allowing yourself not to be perfect. A tad cliche? Definitely. Well written and funny? Yes. It’s worth a watch with your bestie and in my instance, my mom.
