Easy A stars Emma Stone as Olive, a high school girl who doesn't get noticed much until one night she fakes a story about losing her virginity, a decision that will have some big consequences.
In all honesty I don't think this movie would have been anywhere near what it is without Emma Stone in the lead, she is wonderful in this film with her great sense of comic timing, her wonderful natural look and ability to garner sympathy from an audience, I honestly believe that she could be a big star in a few years, but enough about that, let's talk about the rest of the film.
And that is that it's smart, well written and also funny, with many odds to the 80's teenage comedies specifically those by the late John Hughes and Say Anything, the 1989 film by Cameron Crowe which starred John Cusack and Ione Skye, in fact I dare anyone not to get a little swept up when "Don't you forget about me" by Simple Minds and used in The Breakfast Club and Futurama plays at the end.
You know, as I was watching this I was reminded of some of the best episodes of both The Simpsons and Red Dwarf so you should give this a look when you can, 3 and a half out of 5.
