Easy A

Rating: 8/10 (13 October 2018)

Going into this movie with my dad and brother, I did not expect to be making conscience efforts to hold back a tear or two. Bradly Cooper plays an absolute rockstar with all the addictions of one too, but was able to show a side to him that reminded me of Chris Kyle from American Sniper (also had to hold back a tear or two for that), a side that not many actors have and it was truly impressive.
Lady Gaga, to me, came out of total left field with her performance to say the very least. Unaware of her previous acting stints, I asked myself how she was chosen for this part but I honestly left the theater asking if it was her or Cooper who deserves a nomination more. She is as talented as the best of them and at parts this is one of those movies you catch yourself totally tuned into scenes and forget for a few moments youre in a theater watching actors (maybe sitting in row 2 played a factor too).
Overall, the writing, tempo, actors, songs(!), and ending is an easy A. Definitely recommend!
