Easy A: EASILY one of the best coming of age movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (19 June 2020)

Easy A is a 2010 comedy movie staring Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, and Amanda Bynes and is about a clean-cut high school student relies on the school's rumor mill to advance her social and financial standing. But you probably knew that, so why is it any good? Well its extremely funny! Honestly, there were at least 5 scenes in this movie that had me crying with laughter, but maybe that's just me. The film has actually likable characters, even the antagonist, Marianne, to an extent. The main character, Olive, does things that, sure, WE probably wouldn't, but the steps leading to that decision feel realistic. And Olive's parents, played by Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci, are extremely enjoyable to watch. Lastly, The film is made really well. Sure, it's not like Driver or Birdman, but for what it was trying to accomplish, being a modern day John Hughes movie, it does a really good job. To summarize, Easy A is a fantastic and funny movie I can't recommend enough
