Easy A review

Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) lies about her sexuality to her best friend Rhiannon (Alyson Michalka). A religious Marianne (Amanda Bynes) spreads what she overheard between the conversations of Olive and Rhiannon. Todd (Penn Badgley) doesn't believe what people say and gets close to Olive. Soundtrack was upbeat and direction was splendid. Emma Stone did a fabulous job, which made the film interesting. Humor was spot on despite the thin plot. Laugh out loud scenes would be the supposed sex scene with Brandon, parents discussion with Olive and the religious group discussion. Screenplay was witty with lines from: Olive - "Whatever happened to chivalry?" Mrs. Griffin - "Olive, life is full of choices. I made a bad one." It was a nice touch complimenting John Hugh's pictures. Easy A...

Easy A GET'S an Easy A!

Emma Stone stars as Olive, a good girl who is almost completely unnoticed at school. That all changes when she's coerced into fibbing to her best friend Rhiannon about losing her virginity to a guy she made up. Her white lie is overheard by stuck-up Christian snob Marianne (Amanda Bynes) and it soon spreads like wildfire around school. Suddenly, she's the school slut.

However, she realizes that she doesn't really mind the attention so when bullied gay classmate Brandon (Dan Byrd) asks her to do him a favor and help spread a false rumor that she slept with him she feels morally obligated to do so (which furthers the rumors about her). More outcasts come to Olive for help and with a little cash incentive as well as pity she keeps helping them. Olive decides to embrace her newfound statu...

Bland

Bland but decent. Predictable but at the same time unbelievable and not in a good way. For starters and this is not a spoiler, we are supposed to believe that a modern day high school in California becomes obsessed because one 17 year old girl had sex. And nothing more shocking than that, not even with another student or anyone any of the students would have known. In my highschool days it would be more shocking and unusual that a 17 year old girl hasn't had sex yet. And though I am from a fairly populated region judging by the teen pregnancy rate along with statistics on STDs and age groups this is far from uncommon. I couldn't connect with the beginning of the movie due to this, it's so unrealistic I honestly thought the writers had to be joking with us to expect us to believe that 90% ...
