Refreshing and Intelligent

Rating: 8/10 (7 January 2012)

When I sat down to watch this movie I wasn't expecting anything more than a boring, half-spun, tale of a misunderstood teenager where everything in her life goes wrong and she does stupid things to set them right. Throw in a love affair or two in there too.
But NO. Easy A was surprisingly thought provoking and hilarious. It was simply and clean cut. The execution was flawless for such a simple plot. The characters were well written and the actors who played them were well cast.
After having seen a string of unoriginal, bland chick flicks the genre has basically been reduced to a category of nonsensical, waste-time movies in my opinion. It's wonderful to see some intelligent film makers out there who can combine the woes of growing up, make a lesson of it and portray it in a comic light.
There is nothing about this movie that I disliked... except that it was too short. I hope they make a sequel. I recommend you go watch it.
