terrific!

Rating: 9/10 (3 February 2011)

This was a hilarious movie. It parallels the classic novel The Scarlet Letter (which is being studied and brought up in the film and during the girl's class) and a teenager's life. Olive-the main character-lies to her friend about a weekend fling with a college guy. Unfortunately, the high school prude (who is a devout Christian) overhears her, and the rumor mills start cranking. Olive starts using this to her advantage to gain popularity with the boys, but things unfortunately get out of hand, and she learns how things can ruin your reputation-the hard way with a boy one night, and she tries to fix it. Fortunately, she has the right friend and family member. I love her podcasts and the scenes with Amanda Bynes. Lisa Kudrow's character was also good. I think this was a good movie, and it taught me a little bit about my life too. I really recommend it.
