Easy A

Emma Stone, Amanda Bynes, Penn Badgley, Dan Byrd

Directed by Will Gluck

Rating: C+

When Olive (Emma Stone) finds that she is invisible in her school, she decides to shake things up a bit by pretending she is someone quite opposite of her true nature. Marianne (Amanda Bynes) takes up Olive as someone she can help see the light and fix the errors. Instead, Olive is helping out the male population of her high school by spreading rumors that she slept with, kissed, dated them if they pay her by gift cards or cash. By ruining her reputation, Olive gets caught in a nasty rumor and the guy she wants probably thinks all the rumors she spreads are true. Poor Olive.

Easy A is a newer version of Mean Girls. The plot may be different but Emma Stone's character is very similar to Lindsay Lohan's character. They both change themselves for a cause and everyone at school either fears them or admires them. Easy A isn't a bad movie though. The reason I thought it deserved a C+ is because of it's similarity to Mean Girls and the fact that it's overall nothing special. Easy A has it's funny moments and it's a movie worth owning. It's nothing sophisticated, it's just another one of those teenage movies. It doesn't mean adults wouldn't enjoy it though. They probably would rather watch it then a kid movie. In the end, I would recommend this to those who enjoy movies like Mean Girls, 17 Again, etc.
