Emma Stone shines in a Very Unique Performance,

Rating: 7/10 (19 August 2015)

Easy A is a good movie with a well developed storyline and a terrific comedic cast. It may be considered a teen comedy, but I think anyone beyond the age of fifteen would certainly enjoy it, it hearkens back to the days of John Hughes films, as we follow one character who narrates the story that only revolves around roughly only a week of their life, movies like these aren't made anymore and it was a very refreshing ninety minutes. Though Olive is of course the main character, I felt like every other character was very underdeveloped, we really only knew two things about every other person (i.e., her name is Rosemary, she's Olives mom), I certainly would have liked to see more character from Olives parents and her friend Rhiannon, who was probably the weakest part of the film as we were never made entirely sure how close they were as friends and she is practically written out of the film early on. This isn't a visually stunning film or one with an extremely interesting storyline, it all revolves around the portrayal of one particular character, and I think for that matter, Emma Stone hits it out of the park, she is both hilarious and very natural as Olive, it seemed like a very challenging role as she had to hold the entire movie together, but she did so with pure charisma, and I felt like there was a lot of her in that character. Though it may be forgetful, Easy A is still a fun and easy ninety minutes that I would recommend to anyone looking for a good comedy.
A pupil lies to a friend about losing her virginity, but the rumour mill spreads this around school, earning her unwanted notoriety.
