Screen Gems recently came out with a new comedy/action flick titled “Easy A” into theaters a while back. I finally got around to watching it,and I agree with the top critics’ positive opinions on this one. It was an excellent film.

Emma Stone should be a comedian because she was very funny in this film. Her and good ole Amanda Bynes really delivered some good drama and comedy. It stars: Emma Stone, Penn Badgley, Amanda Bynes, Thomas Haden Church, Patricia Clarkson, Cam Gigandet, Lisa Kudrow, Malcolm MacDowell, Aly Michalka, and Stanley Tucci.

“Easy A” centered around character Olive (Stone) who,one day, gives into her friend’s intense desires for her to tell her she finally had sex with a college dude. Soon enough,the rumor spreads like wildfire throughout the school. And,all of a sudden, Olive goes from being unnoticed most of the time to being constantly stared at and talked about. It also doesn’t sit well with self righteous Christian freak Marianne (Bynes). She constantly tells Olive she needs to beg for forgiveness from God.

Nothing stops there. Olive eventually helps out her gay friend named Brandon from continuing to get picked on by pretending to have sex with him. From that point, the rumors got worse,but Olive embraced them,and continued to help create more of them by taking offers from other guys. As the hype of her being easy continues to perpetuate,she plays the role very convincingly by wearing skimpy outfits with the letter “A” sown into them.

However, towards the end,one final incident makes Olive want to set the true record straight. In my opinion, the movie was hysterical as it featured scenes,which showed Olive making fake sex noises with Brandon,lots of fast,witty comebacks,Olive’s mother revealing that she was a whore in her high school days,and more.

The movie delivered non-stop laughs. It never had a boring moment,and kept me highly entertained the entire hour and a half. That Emma Stone is a jewel of an actress. This movie made me a big fan of hers. It was cool to see Amanda Bynes return to the big screen . She was also very funny. Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley did a great job as the cool,calm,collective guy named Woodchuck Todd. If you want to laugh your butt off,definitely check out this movie. I gave it an easy “A+.”.
