Olivia Wilde’s directorial debut starring Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein, Booksmart, is now available for viewers to bring home on Blu-ray and DVD.

Make no mistake that this film is an instant high school comedy classic.  There’s already been a lot to be said about how the film should have been marketed better.  I’m not going to get into any of that.  What I do hope is that the indie comedy is able to find an audience through its home release.  Whether this comes through digital rentals or a streaming platform remains to be determined.

The bonus features are light when you compare them to similar films.  We do get some of the basic features for a release including audio commentary and deleted scenes.  There is also a feature on the film being the next “best high school comedy.”  Ten years from now, this is going to be a film that many of us are still talking about.  I said it before and I say it again: instant high school comedy classic.  There are so few films about female friendship in high school.  What Olivia Wilde and company do is make a film that could be described as Bridesmaids for a younger generation.

One more thing.  Billie Lourd steals the show here.  As the fall film festival season starts, here’s a reminder that she is amazing in the film and should be at least be considered for Best Supporting Actress.

  • Audio Commentary by Olivia Wilde
