Movie Review: Easy A

 
Easy A is a comedy movie starring Emma Stone (Super Bad, House Bunny, Zombieland and Spiderman). The movie is about the life of high school students particularly the ones who aren't popular and how they struggle with it. Emma Stone portrays Olive Penderghast, a nice, smart girl and though pretty, she is a very unpopular and is almost invisible in her school until one day she lied about losing her virginity to her best friend and it spread like wild fire. Things got even worse when she gave her gay friend a favor and lied even more. The rumor spread and desperate virgins who know about her secret started asking for her help as well. Olive became famous for her promiscuity and at first she did not like it until she realized it made her popular and even enjoyed it but of course it took its toll on her. Olive relates her experience to the book The Scarlet Letter which is about adultery though she kind of took it the other way around.

I personally like Emma Stone even with her previous movies such as Super Bad and House Bunny. This is her first starring role and I really think she did great. The movie is really funny in my opinion and you can learn quite a lot of lessons from it.
