‘Easy A’ is about a regular high school girl named Olive (Emma Stone). She is essentially unnoticed in her high school until she lies to her friend about losing her virginity. She suddenly becomes known among the students, and begins to relish her alter ego of Easy A.
The films starts with a few jokes that fall flat, but picks up steam as soon as Olive’s parents are introduced (Stanley Tucci and Patricia Clarkson). Emma Stone has just been nominated for a golden globe, and while I’m not so sure she deserves it, she definitely fills the role of Olive quite admirably.
The real star of the film is the screenplay, which is excellent. The sharp banter at certain parts was refreshing, and helped me forget that I was watching a pretty stereotypical teen comedy. The plot is really standard, and has been done so many times before. However, you feel as if everyone in the film understands that, and pokes fun of that fact constantly.
Because ‘Easy A’ has such a standard plot it’s hard to give it a very high grade. But, the film is thoroughly enjoyable and I highly recommend it.
Final Grade: B
