Download Free Easy A

(John Hughes would be proud with "Easy A.") Oh, boy, where to start
with this movie, hmm? Well, for one, Will Gluck's "Easy A" provided me
with a brief respite from the day-to-day insanity that is my life. The
last movie I saw in theaters was "Predators" and that was back in July;
that's three months of not having to pay the inflated ticket price of
$8.75 to see a movie. But my self-imposed moratorium on not going to
the movies was well-worth the wait with "Easy A." The script shines in
delivering a fast-paced, laugh-a-minute screenplay with a story vaguely
paralleling "The Scarlet Letter" by Nathaniel Hawthorne (which I never
read in high school); Olive Pendergast (Emma Stone, the husky-voiced
redhead from "Superbad" and "Zombieland" whose career has just been
made with this film) is a social nobody at her shiny, pristine Southern
California high school. But that changes when a little lie to get out
of spending time with her best friend's weird family somehow explodes
into a huge, school-wide rumor about how she allegedly lost her
virginity to some made-up college hunk. A la Hester Prynne in "The
Scarlet Letter," Olive becomes the talk of her high school rumor mill,
with boys approaching her left and right to help them with their
reputations around campus. So she decides to embrace her newfound
infamy (complete with a telltale "A" pinned on the shoulder of her new
wardrobe), much to the chagrin of the high school queen bee (Amanda
Bynes, fresh out of her retirement) and the mascot of the basketball
team (Penn Badgley), with whom Olive shares an unusual romantic past
with. And we all know how one lie leads to an even bigger lie and how
that bigger lie leads to an even bigger lie and so on and so forth.
"Easy A" is a brilliantly acted teen comedy with nods aplenty to the
work of the late John Hughes (1950-2009), "Can't Buy Me Love" (1987)
with Patrick Dempsey, and Cameron Crowe's "Say Anything" (1989). Stone
is a star; she's not just a pretty face. She's spunky with an
incredibly razor-sharp wit, and a heart to boot, even as she must face
the music and try to put the wrong things right in her chaotic life and
improve her high school reputation before it's too late. She's
intelligent, easy on the eyes, and proves with this movie that she has
a bright future ahead of her in the movies. "Easy A" is an easy movie
to like. In a wasteland of instantly forgettable and stupid teen
movies, "Easy A" is one teen flick you can pay $8.75 to see in the
theater, and not kick yourself for doing so in the morning...

This was hailed by some as being a cut above the average high school
comedy. Its star, Emma Stone, starred in what is perhaps my favorite
high school movie, Superbad. This one may be better than the average
high school comedy, but it's not especially great, either. I obviously
wasn't a girl in high school, and it's been over a decade since I've
been there, but the events in this movie just don't come close to my
actual high school experience. If you don't know the story, it's about
a girl, Stone, who invents a sexual partner, and immediately becomes
known as a slut around the school. Then she starts to pretend to be
stupping a bunch of losers so they become more popular. When I went to
school, any girl who looked like Emma Stone or the other gals in this
movie, you'd kind of assume they were having sex (Hell, any girl who
dressed like these girls, even before Stone embraces her inner slut,
would probably be sent home to change, and my high school was pretty
dang liberal). It might make guys like me upset because we could never
have them, and it might make the ugly girls jealous, but would it ever
have been as big a deal as it is in this movie? Not much of it seemed
believable to me. It's worst offense, though, is that it just isn't all
that funny. There are a few good laughs, but otherwise, it's kind of
dull. Yet I didn't come close to hating it. Emma Stone, for one thing,
is exceptional. Even when the writing is poor, she sells it. She's just
got some wonderful comic timing, and her eyes are wonderfully
expressive. I also absolutely love Patricia Clarkson and Stanley Tucci
as her goofy parents. I really wish they had gotten more time. Instead,
they spend a lot of time on a really bizarre and underdeveloped subplot
involving her teacher (Thomas Hayden Church), who is married to the
school guidance counselor (Lisa Kudrow)..
