Olive, an average high school student, sees her below-the-radar existence turn around overnight once she decides to use the school's gossip grapevine to advance her social standing. Now her classmates are turning against her and the school board is becoming concerned, including her favorite teacher and the distracted guidance counselor. With the support of her hilariously idiosyncratic parents and a little help from a long-time crush, Olive attempts to take on her notorious new identity and crush the rumor mill once and for all.

To me, this movie is perfection.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

There are so many great things about this movie that it's easy to rewatch it at least once or twice a year. A great tribute to the outstanding John Hughes movies from the 80s, Easy A has a great cast, soundtrack, and pretty decent storyline... Despite the fact that in 2010 California a 17 year old having sex was earth shattering somehow. (And they could have definitely done without Lisa Kudrow and her goofy acting.) All the small irks are overclouded by the great things it offers. Emma Stone was brilliant as a Gilmore Girl talking Olive with quite possibly the best movie parents in the world (Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci). High school is hard, no matter when, where, or why. The movie delivers the best advice that it will pass and finding a way to go through it is key.

Yesterday after watching La La Land (for the 3rd time in my case) with some of my friends in the afternoon, I decided to look for some of old performances of Emma Stone, which in the end led me to this movie. So I fired up my TV along with Netflix, and I settled for a Friday midnight movie session, and here are my little thoughts: First, Emma Stone's performance is indescribably funny. Alright, honestly its Emma Stone's performance and her cuteness 😍 that made me really enjoy watching this film. From singing alone in her bedroom to strutting around in revealing clothing, her hilarious expressions, her comedic timing and the way she articulates her lines, makes this "a worth 2 hours of your life" film. Other than that, I liked the narratives, the humor, the minor plot twists, the location of the film on the nice little town of Ojai, and last and not least the movie soundtrack selection is Superb 👌 In the end this movie is pretty much what you'd expect from a teen comedy film, as the film covers the issues that is known to concern a typical teenager. Conclusion: I thought it would be a boring movie, like a lot of some teen comedies I watched in the past, but I'm actually impressed and i liked it a lot. For those who didn't watched this movie, give it a try.I give it a Solid 7 out of 10PS: And for those wondering what road is in the movie credits, here's the address: Fordyce Rd, Ojai

(Originally reviewed: 23/02/2017) Emma Stone is an actress of both talent and beauty; and she pretty much lays claim to this film. Easy A may not be overwhelmingly funny but it does have its moments of pure comedic gold; one which includes a joke about Tom Cruise's Scientology belief; in which Stone is told she will answer to a higher power very soon; in which she says "Tom Cruise", for anyone who is aware of Tom Cruise's religion and what Scientology is about, there's a good chance you will find this amusing. The picture operates at a rapid pace at times with its story but manages to keep rather smart for the first half; there's also some good one liners and some nice scenes involving Stone's character and Penn Badgley (Todd) with real chemistry, and Stone with her family where you can see a more mild sense of comedy, but one that is certainly funny and harmless and kudos to Will Gluck as well; for his decent direction.The second half is where I started to complain: instead of a better plot device it decides to go into unnecessary religious territory, with constant babbling about god and sins and the usual religious nonsense; but why does a teen comedy about an intellectual young lady have to involve religion; to me it felt preachy and forced, I did not care for any of the religious stuff that was too over the top, and though there are mild religious themes within the first half; never did it become preachy. I also found a lot of the jokes during the midsection to be stale and there's were too many times during the film where I didn't laugh because at least half of them felt recycled or just plain unfunny. Easy A also has an awful performances from Amanda Bynes (Marriane), this character was the leader of the religious group, and she was just annoying, and void of actual talent; I'm betting she's a model or something and if she is; she should stick to that profession. The other noticeable supporting actors are good, this included Thomas Haden Church (Mr Griffith), Patricia Clarkson (Olive's mother), Stanley Tucci (Olive's father) and Lisa Kudrow as Mrs Griffith. The screenplay could have been better but there are just enough fresh dialogue, funny moments and solid scenes to warrant a recommendation; Seeing Emma Stone insult Demi Moore's British accent in the remake of the Scarlett Letter is at least worth the price of admission.

It's a dumb teen movie with some good things. Emma Stone is one of them. She does a fantastic job in the movie. It was also interesting to see the decisions her character made that got her into the place where she ended up in (really hard to explain without spoiling).The other good part is the rumor spreading-sequence. I found that it was shot in an interesting way. There are lots also lots of bad parts. -It was a dumb teen with dumb teen movie clichés -The tone was comedic in some scenes but very serious in the next one -Lisa Kudrow was very annoying
