A John Hughes homage and a lot of overacting

Rating: 6/10 (2 September 2015)

I really don't know what all the fuzz is about except for Emma Stone delivering solid acting.
The story is far fetched about a high school student who is rumored to be a slut and she decides to go along with her new reputation. The director tries to mimic the feel of the earlier John Hughes movies, even bringing an homage to it by including extracts of The Breakfast Club and Ferris Buellers Day Off, but in the end delivers a rather hysterical take on high school. Except for Emma Stone as the lead, nearly all actors overact annoyingly.
Easy A desperately tries to deliver a high school comedy with some more depth, but in the end gives you a headache. Who likes this kind of movies, should watch the original rather than this poor copy; check out 'The Breakfast Club' or 'Ferris Buellers Day Off'... both far superior to this.
