"Booksmart," Olivia Wilde's directorial debut, doesn't officially premiere until Friday, May 24, but Annapurna Pictures has made the first six minutes of the movie available on YouTube for those who just can't wait for the acclaimed teen comedy.

Giving off some series "Superbad" vibes, the movie introduces us to Molly (Beanie Feldstein) and Amy (Kaitlyn Dever), two high school overachievers and best friends who decide to finally let loose and have fun on the eve of graduation.

Reviews of the film include "It's a raunchy but ultimately empathetic Greek chorus of teenage idiocy" (Vulture) and "'Booksmart' puts a fun, fresh and female spin on the high school coming-of-age comedy" (Screen Rant).
