Hilarious movie that is just fun to watch

Rating: 8/10 (31 January 2014)

But there is nothing special about it when one would take off Emma Stone from the cast.
The story isn't very clever at all, the characters sometimes implausible and basically it is a predictable movie. So why bother watching it? Because it is just fun nevertheless! The protagonist's, namely Olive, character is outstanding and she is one of the most impressing female roles I've ever seen. She's cute, smart, mouthy without being a jerk and has an awesome sense of humour. And if you've seen Emma Stone in many interviews, like I do, some could assume she's not really "acting" but being more likely herself. So the acting itself might not be excellent but she has all my sympathy and I could listen to her all day. Olive's personality fascinates and Emma's deep voice is a blessing for one's ears.
While theme and many characters are exaggerated there are just few real slap-stick moments and a lot of its humour arise from the dialogues. It is not one of those big Oscar awardee but it is a real classic you can watch every once in a while. It just never gets old and Emma Stone is able to fascinate you once more even after watching it the 8th time.
If you love Emma Stone or you can just easily enjoy a movie without a tremendous story-arc or character development this movie was made for you!
