Nearly 12 years after the premiere of Superbad, we're finally getting the updated version we've been waiting for — but this time, it's the girl nerds (including Jonah Hill's real-life sister) who are getting a wild night. Olivia Wilde's directorial debut, Booksmart, tells the story of two high-school overachievers who have finally gotten everything they've ever hoped for academically, but find themselves lacking when it comes to actual life experience. They conclude that one crazy night might just compensate for four years of high-school debauchery, and if you haven't seen the trailer yet, it looks hilarious. How could it not be, with this incredible cast?
