That was an excellent one.

So much average

A different way of telling a story

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It doesn't quite hit the mark. Emma Stone gives a great performance. Her charm is off the charts. Her parents are great. Her favorite teacher is also great. The movie somehow misses the mark. Maybe it's the needless religion bashing that turned me off. I don't know but it didn't help.

In fact, I'm sure many of us could relate to a character in this film. Whether it be a school friendship you had or the constant rumour spreading that the story revolves around, it evoked a sense of teenage nostalgia. And it is with this relatability that the film becomes effective and emotionally engaging. Olive Penderghast happened to be in the midst of a rumour stating she lost her virginity, slowly but surely this rumour increases in volume and soon starts to reinvent herself as the school slut. Rather unconventional, however the focus on the power of rumours and how it can emotionally inflict damage to someone is apparent. Then embedding the prominence of social media and how one can utilise the medium of webcam shows to express their emotion felt very relevant and surprisingly refreshing. On the surface it seems like a normal "high school teen flick" where girls bicker and struggle to get the guy of their dreams, and some of those mundane plot devices are incorporated here. But what the typical teen flick lacks is memorable and likeable characters. Fortunately, a bountiful of prominent lively expressive characters fill the screen at all times. Emma Stone carried this whole film, her quirky eccentric traits were put to excellent use here as Olive. Her dialogue execution is always on point, her facial expressions are perfectly suited to the role. The inclusion of Lisa Kudrow is an automatic win, I just see Phoebe from 'Friends' and consistently makes me jump with joy. Olive's parents were so damn likeable and lovingly endearing that every time they showed up I instantly smiled. The hilarity of the modern script that is used is actually consistent, I laughed on multiple occasions. Direction was solid, pacing was excellent albeit too short. The best way to define Easy A would be to say it's a perfect film to watch when hungover (me currently right now), and for that it does its job. Ever so watchable and incredibly cheerful, would happily view this again. But kids...don't spread rumours...

A clean-cut high school student relies on the school's rumor mill to advance her social and financial standing is what IMBD says about this Film .The only bit they got right is she is good Student . She only went along with the rumousr out of a sense of devilment and to help a Gay friend who could't take the abuse he was getting. When she helped others it really wasn't about money but just stirring the gossips . Emma is just so good as a Girl who is smart,witty ,funny and sticks up for herself. The supporting cast are good especially her Parents . One of my favourite Movies

Olive, a normal college girl, accidentally spreads a rumor about her losing her virginity, being afterwards seen as an easy girl by everyone. With her new status, she starts acting like one, even helping out losers by lying about having slept with them, in exchange for money, coupons or any other financial benefit. As this new attitude advances, she becomes more and more hated and although she thought that covering something up wouldn't hurt anybody, she becomes an outcast. As a result, in order to reveal the truth, she invites the whole college to see a video podcast which might clear her name.It's an interesting idea, the one with which the movie starts, but after that, everything gets as boring as it is predictable. She gets a bad name and eventually she tries to set thing right and who knows, even getting a real date or boyfriend. I really enjoyed Emma's performance, but from my point of view, the whole movie was an extended typical college gossip, which left without contradiction or being played along, isn't going to get you anything good. A bit letdown in my opinion, from any perspective.
