Thank you sweet, sweet blessed god of cinema. I thought you had forsaken me but praise be to the flickering light of your screen for this film, for restoring my faith in the immutable power of the movie.

A funny, entertaining and deeply satisfying coming of age comedy, with a glorious sound track and some superb performances from Kaitlyn Dever and Beanie Feldstein. Their chemistry together is the glue that bonds this film.

The plot sees the two nerdist girls in their high school realise they're only got one night left to let rip before them embark on their college careers. To do so, they set out to attend the party of the year.

Fantastically funny, and utterly enjoyable. 9/10
