EASY A(2010)


I'm not too sure if any of you have heard of this movie? It's an homage to the classic John Hughe's 80's movies. This is a very clever and well written movie that will make you laugh and remember the 80's at the same time. Emma Stone("Superbad","Zombieland") is fantastic as the lead actress and she really creates a great character here. This is not a raunchy teen comedy, but it has a smart script that is funny in it's own way. A great ensemble cast and very well done from the opening scene until the classic last scene.


The movie is loosely inspired by "The Scarlett Letter", but don't be fooled it's not just a remake or a contemporary take on it. Emma Stone lies about having a date to get out of going camping with her best friend. Her fake date then turns into fake sex and it just gets bigger and bigger until she must decide to fix her life.


I'd highly recommend this movie. You don't see too many smart comedies this day and age. Anyone who grew up on John Hughes movies will love this nice homage to his films.
