It’s not often you get a smart coming-of-age comedy with mature themes, a sophisticated script, and a genuine neck-snapping twist… but here you go. Angourie Rice stars are the fourth-wall-breaking Honor, a go-getter hell-bent on getting into Harvard. All she has to do is sabotage her other top-of-the-classmates to make sure she gets there. Co-starring Gaten Matarazzo and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, the film lands in the same world as 2010’s woefully underrated “Easy A” as a throw-away film that really, really isn’t.
4/5 stars
