Not sure I understand the joke re Booksmart. Is it a white savior type of Best White People or a knock on the film's diversity, which I would have never considered to be a particular weakness.

Kinda just being random. Though the inciting incident relates to all all these kids getting into top schools, which sort of embodies the white, suburban, upper middle class perspective of the film — encouraging my brain to lump it together with other recent coming of age films (Thoroughbreds, Edge of Seventeen, Ladybird, Eighth Grade, etc.) which as a group exist in a pretty narrow space on the race-class spectrum, marking very little progress in that regard since John Hughes’ heyday.
