In Easy A, opening today, Sept. 17, invisible good girl Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) was overheard lying about losing her virginity over the weekend by her Christian classmate Marianne (Amanda Bynes). The rumor quickly spreads and soon the whole school knows. Olive adapts to her newfound fame in school, leading her to help her homosexual friend Brandon (Dan Byrd) to convince the whole school he’s straight. Soon it becomes a full business, but soon things go downhill and Olive has to find a way to reclaim her good name.
Easy A was a movie I was excited to see, so maybe my expectations were too high? I was disappointed at the end because there could have been more to the storyline. Although the movie was filled with well-developed lines to add some laughs, the editing was not so great! At one point I noticed the embroidered As were on different sides of her shirt. Overall it wasn’t a bad movie. Would I recommend it? Sure, it’s a good movie for hanging out with friends.
Score: 7/10
