Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

nothimme What kind of universe is this? Why is everyone acting so stupid? I watched this rubbish till the end just because to write some of my thoughts. I was a teen once, too; in fact, i was watching a series called 'Teen Wolf' once. But this movie is on another level of... badness i guess. This is just pure trash. The parents don't act like a parent. The people don't act like intelligent beings. They're all artificial, one-dimensional creatures. This writing is just garbage. The script doesn't lead anywhere and it's pointless. The acting is cringy and contrived. And the jokes are like this: Man: Screw all these people. Girl: Haven't you heard, i already did.Yeah, everyday we stray further from god.

Prismark10 Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) is a high school student who lies to her best friend Rhiannon that she has lost her virginity. The lie goes round the school and quickly she is regarded as a slut and soon Olive dresses like one.To prevent her gay friend Brandon from bullying, they pretend to have sex at a party while the others listen to their screams from outside the door. Later Olive helps out a fat friend by letting him say that he went out with her in exchange for some gift vouchers. Pretty soon a student who gets Chlamydia tells everyone he got it off Olive as it was the easier thing to do.However Olive's life spirals out of control as nobody sees the real her. Men just want to use her. Even her easy going parents are concerned about her.Easy A is the epitome of efficient writing. If you are a budding screenwriter or want to make your own movies, just make a careful study of it. It even wears its influences on its sleeves. Everything referenced to in this film, it will come back to later. As an example Olive is studying the book The Scarlet Letter at school. Well Olive gets branded as a harlot and she plays up to it by wearing even more revealing clothes with a big label A. Olive mentions 80s brat pack movies of John Hughes. At the end of the film there is a pointless song and dance number just like Ferris Bueller's Day Off. I did like the reference to Huckleberry Finn that would later come back like a boomerang.Easy A is fresh and amusing with charming performances from the cast, especially Emma Stone. However it is not as clever as it thinks it is and the wheels fall off as the film goes along. For a start I find it hard to believe that Olive is the only high school student who has had sex!Many of the characters are paper thin and one dimensional. There are lazy stereotypes of Christians but the worse is the one Indian high schooler who speaks with an Indian twang.So Hollywood film studios cannot have a second generation character of Indian origin who was born and raised in America in this day and age?

jmvscotland BOY, DO I NEED TO LOOK FURTHER THAN THE IMDb SCORE BEFORE I BUY A MOVIE.Yes, indeed, I bought a Blu-ray of this steaming pile of crap simply because it rates 7.1 on IMDb. In my experience, the score I see on IMDb is usually a reliable guide to the quality (or otherwise) of what's reviewed. But, like any such thing, it's not always reliable. How very true here.This movie is so appallingly bad that I really don't want to waste more than the 92 minutes I've just wasted in watching it to try to come up with the words that might convey just how bad it is.I feel insulted by how lazy the producers were in coming up with this poor excuse for cinema and more than a bit ripped off at having shelled out hard cash for something so banal and so painfully awful.The one saving grace? Simple Minds "Don't You (Forget About Me)" over the end credits. Everything that goes before it should be avoided.JMV

TonyMontana96 (Originally reviewed: 23/02/2017) Emma Stone is an actress of both talent and beauty; and she pretty much lays claim to this film. Easy A may not be overwhelmingly funny but it does have its moments of pure comedic gold; one which includes a joke about Tom Cruise's Scientology belief; in which Stone is told she will answer to a higher power very soon; in which she says "Tom Cruise", for anyone who is aware of Tom Cruise's religion and what Scientology is about, there's a good chance you will find this amusing. The picture operates at a rapid pace at times with its story but manages to keep rather smart for the first half; there's also some good one liners and some nice scenes involving Stone's character and Penn Badgley (Todd) with real chemistry, and Stone with her family where you can see a more mild sense of comedy, but one that is certainly funny and harmless and kudos to Will Gluck as well; for his decent direction.The second half is where I started to complain: instead of a better plot device it decides to go into unnecessary religious territory, with constant babbling about god and sins and the usual religious nonsense; but why does a teen comedy about an intellectual young lady have to involve religion; to me it felt preachy and forced, I did not care for any of the religious stuff that was too over the top, and though there are mild religious themes within the first half; never did it become preachy. I also found a lot of the jokes during the midsection to be stale and there's were too many times during the film where I didn't laugh because at least half of them felt recycled or just plain unfunny. Easy A also has an awful performances from Amanda Bynes (Marriane), this character was the leader of the religious group, and she was just annoying, and void of actual talent; I'm betting she's a model or something and if she is; she should stick to that profession. The other noticeable supporting actors are good, this included Thomas Haden Church (Mr Griffith), Patricia Clarkson (Olive's mother), Stanley Tucci (Olive's father) and Lisa Kudrow as Mrs Griffith. The screenplay could have been better but there are just enough fresh dialogue, funny moments and solid scenes to warrant a recommendation; Seeing Emma Stone insult Demi Moore's British accent in the remake of the Scarlett Letter is at least worth the price of admission.
