Not bad

Rating: 6/10 (24 July 2011)

*** Spoiler warning *** I got this flick from the public library, expecting a chick-flick about teenage/high school angst. That is pretty much what the film delivers. There are some references to John Hughes' '80s flicks, which might go over the heads of a teen audience.
As other posters had said, it is a stretch and perhaps too much of a suspension of disbelief that Emma Stone's character would be one of the "invisible" people in high school culture. A woman who is that good looking with her spunk would be a shoe-in for the popular or A-list crowd for whom high school is fun and games and a huge picnic.
As is typical of Hollywood, this film takes its turn making fun of Christians. In the liberal democrat tradition, any religion is acceptable except Christianity. Imagine the uproar if the film made fun of,say Muslims. I hadn't heard of any Christian groups protesting it, but perhaps they chose not to give this film free advertising or to dignify it with a response.
Overall, not bad, but not great. Emma Stone is certainly gorgeous. 6/10
