Ryan Reynolds, among several other major celebs, are raving over the latest female-led teen comedy, Booksmart — and if they're saying we need to see it, we need to see it.
But for some reason, it isn't quite living up to its presumed success.
Don't worry about Googling the movie's synopsis — I'm about to relay it to you.
Or being "booksmart," rather.
Does that sound like something you want to miss?
Didn't think so.
As I mentioned, it's Olivia Wilde's first shot at working behind the camera — which is huge, and the writers of the film were all women.
Ladies, FTW!
A few other notable names are Lisa Kudrow, Jason Sudeikis, Will Forte, Jessica Williams, and there's even a vocal-appearance by Maya Rudolph.
It's a tough market to be in right now!
She encouraged her followers to support movies made about and by women, and not let them be overshadowed.
“JUST BOUGHT TICKETS!! Guys go see Booksmart cause in this house we support @oliviawilde," she wrote — sharing Booksmart actor, Diana Silvers' post, and prompting fans to swipe up and follow suit.
From there, it's been a chain reaction of celebrities showing their support for the movie and promoting it to their fans and followers.
She urged fans to follow her lead and go see the movie with her.
"I haven’t been this excited for a movie in a loooong time," she wrote in the caption. "Who’s with me on seeing @booksmart this weekend? directed by the brilliant @oliviawilde."
"BELIEVE THE HYPE MY FRIENDS!! This movie brought me so much joy and nostalgia and laughter and love and empowerment and I really really want everyone to go see it THIS WEEKEND!," she wrote.
Olivia replied, saying that the movie was basically made for her.
So, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling inspired to go out and support the strong women in show-biz by seeing this movie in theaters. Repeatedly.
