Olivia Wilde's directorial debut Booksmart is the dream for every high school nerd who never went to parties because school was "too important."

Kaitlyn Denver and Beanie Feldstein play girls who focused on their academics at the cost of their social life and try to cut loose on the last day of school. It's exactly the kind of hijinks that make for a perfect summer movie.

The movie premiered over the weekend and the response has been rapturous.

Booksmart hits theaters May 24.
