Wonderful movie - an absolute tonic. Perfectly realised and performed, terrific cast and direction. Olivia Wilde has had a dream debut (I'm sure it was a nightmare but she seems so sure of herself). Four writers are credited but the script feels smooth.
Okay some nitpicking - occasionally the adult stars go overboard and mug a little. I didn't quite buy these girls would be unable to find the party for so long, and would go to the library to do so. The Triple A character felt as though she needed a middle beat.
But so much is magical. The chemistry. The affection the filmmakers have for their characters. The Midsummer Night's Dream style feel this has at times - such as the character Gigi. The characters feel recogniseable yet fresh - the driven know it all nerd, the lesbian with oh so understanding Christian parents, the party guy, the enigma girl.
It's just a fantastic film.
