"Easy A" Review

So me and my friend watched Easy A last night. It was really funny! And not in a bad cheesy, teen angst trying too hard way. It was smart funny. It makes you think about morals, values and how far would YOU actually go to help others. I found myself thinking "who did i stick up for when i was in high school?" I know i helped a few, i did what i thought was right. And i did build up a mini reputation for several things that were...dare i say...untrue hehe But i didn't have people protesting me like Olive did. I knew where the line was.

Emma Stone is an excellent actress. She should be getting more credit and more gigs for her skill. She isn't over the top and she can deliver big words in a way that make you think, she talks like this on a regular basis. She made a teen drama/comedy interesting with her narration and thought process. The writers definitely get kudos from me! I love how suddenly all her clothes have the Scarlett Letter A sewn on them...on a boob even! That was hilarious! No matter what she wore there was the giant red A on a boob...you had no choice but to look at it =) Wardrobe did that brilliantly.

The other thing i have to mention is the actors who played Olive's parents Stanely Tucci and Patricia Clarkson were BRILLIANT!! Usually parents in teen movies are either 1) nonexistent or 2) so unaware of their kids antics they might as well be nonexistent. These parents though, you could tell they were a lil hippy but more so, took pride in how they raised their daughter. They knew she was smart and funny enough to handle high school and anything that came up during those dangerous 4 years. The relationship they had with Olive was really nice to see for a change of pace. They trusted her but was always there to talk if she needed too. Also supported her fight for the good...or evil...depending on how you look at it lol I would say Olive's mom reminded me a bit of my own mother and the dad well, i would kill for a father like that! Especially during high school days. They weren't a perfect normal family either. They were definitely a little more "loose" compared to most parents i would think but they always had a nice grip on the leash i believe. Her mother cracked us up with her talking about being a whore back in her day and trying to show Olive her "moves" lol

The humor in this movie was perfect! They even talked smacked about some other teen movies and highlighted the awesome movies from the 80s that we all love! I mean really, who doesn't want a random musical in the story of their high school days?! This movie had heart too. Olive was just trying to help someone out and it got out of control fast just like most things do at that time of our lives. I must say, i am so very thankful cell phones weren't around like they are when i was in high school lol I don't think i could handle that mess at all lol OH and Thomas Hayden Church played the classic cool teacher we all had who made you want to hang with him but you knew that would lead to all kinds of wrong lol His moments were a bit awkward because of the story line but memorable.

Yes, i approve this movie whole heartedly! I am going to buy it and watch it again and again! I give it 5 stars!!! Because anyone that can make Huckleberry Finn "gay" deserves 5 stars =D
