Shows that the teen comedy still has life in it, with a star-making turn by Emma Stone

Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) is a confident and highly intelligentgirl that is doing well at school until she lies to her best friendRhiannon (Aly Michalka) to get out of a camping trip. Rhiannon pressesher for details and Olive ends up telling her that she and her made-upboyfriend had sex. They are overheard by the school religious freakMarianna (Amanda Byrnes), who spreads the gossip around like wildfire.Olive is then approached by her old friend Brandon (Dan Byrd), a boywho is being bullied because he is gay. He asks her if she will pretendto have sex with him in order to convince others that he is straight,to which she reluctantly agrees. Soon Olive is making money fromdesperate boys wanting to be known for having sex with her, at the costof her reputation.It's rare that teen comedies actually get the formula right, especiallyin the last ten years or so. There was a boom back in the late 1990's,started by the hugely successful American Pie (1999), which lasted agood ten years and is still a successful marketplace. If Easy A sharesany similarities to any of the teen comedies of recent years, then it'sthe Tina Fey-scripted Mean Girls (2004), which was a smart and veryfunny story of high school rivalry and bitchiness. Yet Easy A sharesit's true roots with a different era of teen films - the 1980's.Director Will Gluck's favourite film is Ferris Bueller's Day Off(1986), and the love and homages are plain to see. Olive evenfantasises about her life being like a John Hughes movie.Like Mean Girls, the screenplay is fantastic, and has a talent in EmmaStone to chew on the lines (I'll get to her later). Not only is thescript very smart and funny, it's also venomous. Scriptwriter Bert V.Royal has created a highly intelligent character in Olive that can spitback an insult as good as anybody. When studying The Scarlet Letter (ofwhich the film is obviously based on) in English class, one of thereligious freaks who is disgusted by the rumours states her disapprovalfor the lead character in the book, before turning to Olive and saying'perhaps you should embroider a red A on your wardrobe, you abominabletramp,' to which Olive replies 'maybe you should get a wardrobe, youabominable t**t!'. Shocking, vicious, and very funny.But the film's masterstroke is Emma Stone. While it's hard to believethat she blends into the background (as she describes at the beginningof the film - I mean, come on, she's gorgeous), she gives a performancefull of swagger and confidence. Husky-voiced and super-smart, she givesOlive - who in somebody else's hands might quickly become unsympatheticor annoying - a likability and vulnerability that makes her whollyendearing. Her talent was always obvious from her supporting roles inSuperbad (2007) and Zombieland (2009), but this will surely catapulther to wholly deserved stardom.If there's complaints to be made about the film, then some of theclever-clever quips and the interactions with her rather annoyingparents (played by Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson) can be cloying,and the film does rather run out of steam near to the end. But the filmremains enjoyable, charming and genuinely funny. And it's a strongreminder that the teen comedy still has life in it, given a decentscript and a bit of heart.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com

Emma Stone is awesome!

Emma Stone shows how ballsy she is. I love how she handles herself in this movie. She is really going to be one of the best actresses out there very soon. Keep watching her films.

Easy A is enjoyable except for the annoying vocabulary

"Easy A" has way too many similarities to the overrated "Juno" (2007).Like Ellen Page, Emma Stone did portray her character, Olive, withhumour and heart, but no teenagers talk like that! She's not indie-cooland smarter than everybody else, it's only young adult writers who wishthey were like that (or perhaps a young adult writer who wishes hecould sleep with Diablo Cody).Olive is ostracized at school because of a rumour of promiscuity.Knowing that the plot is congruent with Nathaniel Hawthorne's "TheScarlet Letter", I was thinking that I should read that before seeingthis film just to make sure that I catch all the subtle nuances, butno, there's no need, there is nothing subtle about this film. It's justa modern tale about exclusion and teen sex, but with a ratherrefreshing ambivalent take on abstinence versus promiscuity.The problem with "Easy A" is that Olive and her classmates are not assmart as their vocabulary (and based on a few evident mistakes, thewriter is not as smart as the vocabulary either). I'll let the parentsslide because Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson were very funny andmade me laugh through every scene. "Easy A" is an enjoyable watch butonly if you can get past the sesquipedalian loquaciousness.

The ghost of John Hughes smiles upon Easy A, a film that freely and giddily borrows from and pays tribute to Hughes' famous Holy Trinity of '80s teen angst comedies.

A totally charming comedy about gossip, rash judgment and other sins

The poster of the movie "Easy A" sums up its big lesson well: "Let'sNot and Say We Did." If you're going to say you've done something, thenit better be true, because even a teeny- weeny lie could make your lifea living hell and, worse, make your name synonymous with toxic skankforever.How Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) got to be wearing "whore couture"with a scarlet letter A on her chest — like Hester Prynne, the martyrof the Nathaniel Hawthorne novel — is the subject of this totallycharming comedy that sheds light on teen misbehaviorial patterns andthe nature of shame, rash judgment and other sins. This movie does asatirical take on the nature of gossip: that people are willing tobelieve the worst in others and that they will blindly believe whatthey choose to believe. Tell 'em what they want to hear and they willlap it up, spreading the news through phone texts and the Internet.The hemlines of Olive's clothes conform nicely to Ojai High School'srule: not higher than her fingertips. Her fashion preference is Frenchdesigner brands: black, cut low, with lacy frills that say corset chic.The letter A recalls Hester's punishment for her crime of Adultery. No,it doesn't stand for Awesome; it's a play on the phrase "easy lay."How easy a lay? Well, some boys in this California school can claim tohave bedded her just like that — this weird bunch of guys who many saywere gay, repugnant or ostracized. Olive's reputation as a slut, afloozy and a Jezebel trollop was born at a party at a friend's house,where her classmates gathered before a bedroom door to listen to herkinky, squealing session with Brandon (Dan Byrd), who until then hadbeen tormented by talk that he was gay.But Olive, 17, tells us a totally different story. First that it's alla lie, a bunch of fake relationships and pretend sex. She's beenaccepting offers simply to help boost the guys' egos and peer ranking."The rumors of my promiscuity have been greatly exaggerated," she says.For a highly intelligent girl to tell her closest friend Rhiannon (AlyMichalka) the lie that she slept with a college jock sounds dumb, butthat's the Olive drawn by director Will Gluck and screenplay authorBert V. Royal: a jumble of contradictions. The trouble with this youngwoman is that she gives in too quickly to the whims of friends andemotional blackmailers. Is her personality too insecure or of such lowself-esteem that she's always trying to please others, even the schoollynch mob?After all, she has the greatest parents in the world (Stanley Tucci andPatricia Clarkson), a bit too liberal and hands-off perhaps butexceptional, and quite witty too. "I will take a bullet for you, havemy throat slit to stand up for you," dad Dill assures her. Dill andRosemary Penderghast, plus adopted boy Chip? What a spiced-up family! Then, things start to get out of hand. At Stage 2, her reputation goesdown from a common slut to a tramp who demands cash in exchange foreasy favors. It doesn't matter that in reality she gets peanuts for herhelp, such as discount coupons for Home Depot or free tickets to aforeign-language art-house film. And didn't Brandon just send her atacky gift, a vibrator?At Stage 3, she incurs the wrath of Jesus-loving, sex-abstainingChristians on campus, led by Cross Your Heart Club head Marianne Bryant(Amanda Byrnes). Hell-fearing Marianne has many positive virtues. Aspretty and as gifted with words, she rivals Olive in a contest to winour sympathy. Yet, in the film's final irony, Olive turns out to havevirtues that young Christians hold so dearly.Stage 4 is the turning point in the spiraling charade, when Oliveallegedly turns into a home wrecker and, for the first time, revealsthe pain she's been through. She idolizes her hip but wise Englishteacher Mr. Griffith (Thomas Haden Church), who is married to the verycompetent guidance counselor (Lisa Kudrow). But Olive later doessomething to the Griffiths that doesn't make her proud of herself.And then there's mild-mannered, multi-talented Anson (Jake Sandvig), ahot-air balloon enthusiast and admirer of author Sylvia Plath, whoinvites Olive to a date at the Lobster Shack. He raises up Olive'shopes for a better social life. But what a letdown it is when, in themovie's eye-opening moment, he turns out to be no better than the restof the guys. The movie leaves unanswered the biggest question: what is the motivebehind Olive's over- identifying with Hawthorne's branded martyr? Also,it's hard to fathom why the people whom Olive had helped turn so meanin the end. But the movie does answer, in a droll, heartwarming way,the question of why the Penderghast couple has raised such a wonderfuldaughter in Olive. And as to the puzzle as to who among a short list ofschool hunks will win Olive's heart, it delivers a solution that isheartwarming, very romantic and obvious.Assessing this movie's cast could be done through what Olive and herfriends call "identifiers," or the initials of the key words thatdescribe a person. Byrnes as Marianne and Michalka as Rhiannon are bothF.L, funny and lovable. Haden Church and Kudrow as the Griffiths areB.S., believable and sympathetic. And playing the Penderghasts with apost- hippie style of parenting, Tucci and Clarkson are M.A.G., magicalactor genies who are a delight to watch.And Emma Stone is simply A.B.C. — adorable, bright and a completelyconfident comedienne. What the critics have unanimously said about heris true. "Easy A" is as much the journey of a young woman intoadulthood as Stone's stepping stone to a well-deserved stardom.

A very competent juvenile comedy

I have many times mentioned the apparent death of juvenile comedies inthe hands of straight-to-DVD films, whose low production costs allowthe cinematographic studios to win money with any piece of crap whichincludes unknown jesters, some female models without any objection ofunnecessarily getting naked, and the obligatory "funny" scenes full ofrude things which stopped being funny 30 years ago. So, it was verypleasant for me to see a very competent juvenile comedy such as Easy A,which borrows concepts and subjects from some classic movies of thegenre with intelligence, personality and efficient humor.The synopsis of Easy A might sound like a combination between MeanGirls and the TV series iCarly, but in fact, the screenplay takes thestory from the classic novel The Scarlet Letter (or, better said, fromits multiple film adaptations) as a model in order to illustrate thehypocrisy from the society and the pressure experimented by women forrespecting unrealistic behaviour standards. However, it is not verynecessary to over-analyze the story from this amusing comedy because,independently from its valid message, what best works are the competentperformances and Bert V. Royal's sharp screenplay, which takes thetypical premise of "teenager trying to loose her virginity" and bringsa creative twist to it. And that is one of the best things I can sayabout a movie which belongs to a genre that is usually full of clichésand pre-fabricated structures.And among the best elements of the movie, I have to mention Emma Stone,who is perfect in the leading role; I hope to see her in much moreleading roles. The supporting cast also brings very good performances,from Stanley Tucci and the great Patricia Clarkson as the maincharacter's ridiculously liberal parents to Dan Byrd as an homosexualyoung man with an unusual proposal for the main character and AmandaBynes as an ultra-religious student. I also liked the performances fromThomas Haden Church and Lisa Kudrow. On the negative side of the cast,Aly Michalka feels a bit over the top in her role, while Penn Badgleyfeels bland and a bit out of place as the main character's loveinterest.And even though Easy A concludes satisfactorily, there is a dramatic"explosion" before the ending which involves too many characters andtherefore, dilutes the force from the message and feels a bit out ofplace into such a focused narrative. However, that is not somethingterrible, and it did not avoid me from enjoying this film pretty muchthe whole time.

The Thinking-Persons Mean Girls

A few years ago, the movie "Mean Girls" redefined "high school experience" movies. With "Easy A", the "bubblegum" style of "Mean Girls" is replaced with a bit more of a sophisticated style.For a basic plot summary, "Easy A" focuses on high school student Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone), who inadvertently starts a rumor that she slept with a fellow student. When the rumor spreads like wildfire and Olive realizes she cannot contain it, she decides to just go with it and see what happens.When it comes right down to it, "Easy A" strikes a nice balance between ridiculous & cute. At some points you'll just be laughing at Olive's crazy antics, while at other times you might just actually care about her character (a rare feat in a primarily comedic effort).Also, it must be mentioned here that Emma Stone's performance as Olive carries this entire movie. Stone can play sexy, sweet, and everything in between, and her range is on full display in this flick. She is a joy to watch and redeems a plot that gets a bit thin after about the first hour.Overall, "Easy A" is a fun movie if you are interested in high school fare. It tries to be witty, snarky, cute, & even a bit preachy all wrapped up in a single package and, while perhaps not accomplishing any one of those things totally, the combination is enough to warrant a viewing.

Hollywood Mockery of Christianity

Don't get me wrong, I'm good for a movie that makes a joke or two about any and everything. All situations in life can almost have a comedic element if looked into hard enough. However, this was a pure and simple attack on Christianity and any form of moral values, other than Hollywood's version of wicked morality. Totally was disgusted.

Not worth it

I was looking foward to seeing Easy A, but I was extremely disappointed since the funniest part was already seen in the previews. Olive was not the girl I thought she was and decided that dressing like a slut would "empower her". It tries to be a "Mean Girls" type film, but it falls VERY short....*side note* I am not a religious person and I was put off with the antichristian message

A great premise but the writing really disappoints...

Although the film begins with some great opening credits and had agreat idea for a plot, the rest of the film really, really disappointsdue to bad (VERY bad) writing. So, they took a very good idea and madethe least of it.The idea of a high school girl PRETENDING to be a slut isn't a badidea. And her then helping a gay kid by pretending to sleep with him tostop the other kids from picking on him was great. But, the charactersin this film are at best cartoony--walking stereotypes who lackbelievability. They don't act or talk like any teenagers--at least noton this planet. Take, for instance, Amanda Bynes. She plays the mostone-dimensional religious zealot--and ALL her Christian friends andfamily are all bigoted hypocritical jerks. Olive Oyl from the Popeyecartoons has more depth than these characters! As far as the rest ofthe characters go, they all seem to try too hard, speak hipster lingotoo often and just seem like bad fan fiction. Todd is JUST a plotdevice--not a person. And, on top of all that, the main character istoo smart and glib to be real--and difficult to like and she oftenbehaves inexplicably.The bottom line is despite a HUGE ad campaign to sell this film (oftena sure sign that a Hollywood films sucks) and a clever idea, they donothing with the premise and the film is a bore. And, I might add, thefilm isn't great for teens either as it's rather crude, smarmy andmight just make them stupider. Dumb and unbelievable when it COULD havemade some sort of positive statement.Oh, and the "Knock on Wood" number near the end might just be one ofthe dumbest I've seen in ages.

Easily A Delight!

Easy A:Is a teenage comedy about one girl's high school experiences. Directedby William Gluck it's a tale of rumours and reputations. OlivePenderghast (Emma Stone), is a bright student who unfortunately hashigher social standing with teachers than with her fellow students.Also with regards to her appeal to the opposite sex, in her words "IfGoogle Earth was a guy, he couldn't find me even if I was dressed up asa ten story building". In the opening scene we meet her best friend Rhiannon'Rhi' Abernathy(the exuberant Aly Michalka) who after hearing a little lie from Oliveabout her having a guy over for the weekend wants Olive to admit shelost her virginity with him and will not take no for an answer. Olivegives in and says yes only to stop Rhi from nagging. Unfortunately thisis overheard by Marianne (Amanda Bynes), a sanctimonious religiousstudent who spreads the story like wildfire. However the overnightnotoriety gained, is completed absorbed by Olive who previously wentunnoticed by others and now that all eyes are on her, decides to usethe school's gossip grapevine to advance her social standing, taking onthe new'experienced, predatory' image with supreme confidence andcomedic authority. Once Olive becomes an established name in school, she inadvertentlytakes on a type of heroism with the ability to help the schools various'outsiders' become 'some bodies'. Through "intimate" association withour promiscuous lead the outsiders become 'cool', improving reputationsand putting them on the schools social map! In Easy A the beautiful Emma Stone takes the lead; stepping out fromher Superbad tag and leaving it in the shadows, becoming the centre ofattention and deservedly so. There is no doubt that she has a brightfuture ahead as she plays lead role with consummate ease andintelligence, reminiscent of an early Lindsey Lohan. Upon viewing hercredentials in Superbad, Paperman, Zombieland and now Easy A, its seemsMs Stone possess all the innate characteristics and acting ability that-given the right roles- will surely see her enter the next youngHollywood elite alongside Ellen Page, Kirsten Stuart, Carey Mulligan,her Superbad co-stars and not down the road of a later Ms Lohan. The notable element to Easy A is simply the writing (debut by Bert. V.Reynolds). Its witty, sharp and gives each characters a good standardof vocabulary, not opting for the modern day spoken word that you hearin schools such as slang & text-isms i.e. 'lol's & Omg's' which ishighly refreshing to watch and just shows that teenage comedy can stillhave attitude when given a decent use of English language.Another shining light or should I say lights in this film is the twoparents of Olive- Dill and Rosemary (played by Stanley Tucci andPatricia Clarkson) there chemistry is strong, providing weird butwonderful performances with quirky personalities much like the 'MeetThe Fockers' parents but rather toned down versions to meet with theneeds of its target audience. Despite this, when its there scene,you'll be sure to laugh and I think they definitely warranted morescreen time then they received. The supporting cast all do well with;Thomas Haden Church as the Head Teacher, distracted Guidance Counsellor(Lisa Kudrow), and long time crush (Penn Badgley) all adding theirdistinctive elements. Nearly all comedies have far-fetched stories its what makes them funnyand this is no different (a state school where apparently losing onesvirginity is condemned which leads to counselling etc) so certainaspects like this cant be deemed negative points as others havesuggested. Granted, the film doesn't quite take you to the heights of a'Juno' and hasn't achieved the success of 'Mean Girls' (this film isbetter) but Easy A is easily a; smart, fun and enjoyable movie... GradeA!!

She Makes You Forget Lindsey Lohan

When I rented this movie, I had seen Emma Stone on Letterman and hadheard her name bouncing around, but had never seen her in anything.She is Lindsey Lohan's worst nightmare. In Easy A, Ms. Stone plays thetype of character, Ms. Lohan played in Mean Girls. The territory is thehostile world of high school. High school is a distant memory for me,and much has changed since I finished. There have been too many moviesabout high school for my taste, but each generation gets to mark theirmoment. Ms. Stone, in certain frames, bears a striking resemblance toMs. Lohan. She is a younger, talented, less-troubled actress who canreally carry the big screen.In her appearance on Letterman, they ran a trailer of the movie whichcharmed me. Ms. Stone's character receives a birthday card which, whenopened, plays "Pocketful of Sunshine." She slaps it shut and mutters:"Worst song ever!" Over the weekend, she opens the card again andagain, singing and dancing to the tune. If that is her singing voice,Ms. Stone can sing. It is a very funny clip, but in that 60 seconds,she demonstrates a lot of range.The script in this film is absolutely one of the best comedy scriptsever! The relationship between her father (played so well by StanleyTucci) and her mother (played so well by Patricia Clarkson, who isalways good) and their children is warm, loving and very witty.This is a family which percolates wit and good humor. I would pay goodmoney to have dinner and listen to them chatter about their day. Ms.Stone plays a high school student named Olive, who becomes the centerof a storm of gossip about her alleged promiscuity. Her literatureclass happens to be reading Hawthorne's "The Scarlet Letter." Olivedecides to play Hester Prynne. She changes her clothing and sews theletter "A" on her bustier, flouncing around school as if she is exactlywhat they say she is.Wonderful depiction of how gossip travels through modern technology.Her every move is discussed in text and cell phone calls. Also excellent in this film is Thomas Hayden Church, who plays Mr.Griffith, her English teacher. His timing is perfect and his lines areperfect. This is usually not my genre, but Easy A is so much better than theaverage high school drama. It is a smart comedy with a lot of strongperformances. It should make some Top 10 Lists for 2010. Comedy doesnot get as much respect as drama at awards time, but the cast, thewriters, directors, editors and cameramen deserve recognition. This isa good movie.

Quality teen comedy

Easy A is not your average trashy teen comedy. It recalls memories ofMean Girls and even a few hints of the less impressive Saved!. It has amagnificent cast and witty dialogue that makes it quite enjoyable towatch.Easy A is about a girl who lies about losing her virginity only for thegossip to spread around the school. Instead of correcting the rumoursshe goes along with them and in the process helps out a few outcasts by"fake rocking their worlds". The only problem is the gossip gets out ofhand and starts causing unexpected damage.The references to the Scarlet Letter are an interesting addition to thestory and Olive (Emma Stone) plays out a modern day version of thestory quite well.The dialogue is not what you would expect from a typical teenager todayespecially teens used to talking in texting lingo. The humour issarcastic and extremely witty and I loved every minute of it.

Easy A gets an A+ from me!

Easy A is an original actually laugh out loud comedy which delivers onso many levels, not only is it quick witted and funny but it is alsoheart warming.The relationship and dialog between characters is my favourite part ofthis movie, especially between the families. Easy A is definitely notanother-teen-movie where a geeky female teenager falls in love withsome hot guy and then through some twists and turns they end uptogether. Instead this film focuses on how funny high school drama is,without giving to much away, its original humour and sarcastic.Fans of films like Mean Girls and John Tucker will enjoy this film andlovers of female comedy / sarcasm will also.Great film, lots of great lines and laugh out loud funny. Definitelyworth a watch: D My new favourite film…. Strongly recommend this!!!

It's nice to see a teen comedy put the story ahead of the gag, and while it may result in more snickers than laugh-out-loud moments, it also makes for a better movie.
