Emma Stone lovable

Rating: 8/10 (22 September 2013)

Virginal high schooler Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) tells a little white lie to her best friend Rhiannon (Alyson Michalka). It quickly spreads as judgmental Marianne (Amanda Bynes) makes Olive the new cause celeb. She decides to own it by playing it up. To help out bullied gay friend Brandon (Dan Byrd), she pretends to sleep with him. Then everybody wants in, and things spin out of control.
There's a lot of sarcastic humor with modern references. It's pretty funny on its own, but it's definitely all Emma Stone. She is absolutely lovable. If there is one problem, it's that we're suppose to believe that Emma Stone and Alyson Michalka are outsiders. It is the movies, so let's put that aside. At most Hollywood usually puts librarian glasses on them anyways.
