Funny and Sweet!

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2013)

Easy A is a very funny and touching movie that pays homage to the John Hughes teen movies of the 1980's. Even during the film, we are treated to a montage of clips from various Hughes films. This is also a movie that many of us can relate to whether we are young or old. This is one of the reasons I love this film. I can relate to this film back from my days in high school.
This film is about a girl who has no reputation and no one notices her. But that changes when sexual rumors spread about her. Now, she decides take her newfound popularity to her advantage.
This is the film that made Emma Stone a star. She was a great scene stealer in both Zombieland and Superbad, but she comes into her own here. I also loved the parents played by Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson. They are hilarious and lovable but dim-witted. I also give credit to Amanda Bynes and her religious cult. That was pretty funny.
Overall, this is a hilarious but relatable teen comedy. I bet no one would have thought that the critics would love this and do quite well at the box office. I was one of the doubters but now I'm a believer. This is one of the best teen films of the decade if not century(2000's). I rate this film 9/10.
