Easy A: Review

Easy A starring Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, Amanda Bynes, Dan Byrd, Thomas Hayden Church, Lisa Kudro, Stanley Tucci, and Patricia Clarkson as well as many other appearances including Cam Gigandet.


A teen comedy about how one little rumor can change one's social status dramatically. Emma Stone plays Olive, a relative unknown girl at her high school, who tells her best friend that she lost her virginity over the weekend. People over hear and with the technology nearly all high school students have the lies spread and become more and more exaggerated. Next thing you know, our beloved Olive is a tramp hoe, allegedly. SMH!

Instead of being so embarrassed our girl Olive turns things around to help her social status, her financial status, and those of classmates who need her assistance. Well played Olive, well played.

It's a very fun movie and trust me you will get your laughs. Bonus: It's a collaborative of all things great from John Hughes Movies and not in a terribly cheesy way either. Ok I won't say all that but it didn't make me want to kick a baby :)

I love that Emma Stone is becoming such a big star and hope she goes far! She can carry her own and proves to everyone that a female lead in a comedy has no limitations. Starting off in the hilarious Super Bad and the must see Zombieland, I always knew she had it in her.

My favorite part of the movie was that Olive had the greatest parents in the world! I want parents like Stanley Tucci and Patricia Charleston sheesh! They are the type of parents that will support you no matter what. No seriously, I think if they were my parents and I came up with an elaborate bank heist plan they'd ask what day of the week works best for me.

The one thing that probably bothered me the most about this film is Amanda Bynes acting. Remember when she "quit acting" for all of two seconds. Well she should have stayed retired. I always find her acting too exaggerated, like she's trying to hard. Hey Amanda, maybe you hate acting so much because you give yourself a brain aneurysm saying one sentence!

All in all if you're like me and love all 80's movies, this film will tickle your toes. (umm sure why not?)

Also I figure I always give movies B's so I'm going to try a a 1-10 scale. 1 being The International and 10 being The Breakfast Club.

Easy A gets an 8!
