Last night, we stayed in, ordered chinese food & watched Easy A. We both liked this movie! It was interesting, cute, and funny. The star of this film is Emma Stone who you also saw in Zombie Land & Super Bad. I think she is the next hot actress - the next Reese Witherspoon.
Emma plays Olive, a typical high school girl. Other great actors in this film were Stanley Tucci(LOVE HIM-- from Devil Wears Prada, Julie & Julia), and Penn Bagdley from Gossip Girl.
One day, Olive lies to her best friend and told her she went on a date with a college guy. The friend asks (& insists) that she slept with him on the date. While Olive didn't do either, she says yes, she did. The rumor spreads like crazy thru the school.
Her gay friend, Brandon, asks her to lie for him, too. He is bullied & made fun of on a regular basis so she says she will help him. That is where everything starts to change. She pretends that she slept with Brandon and then more guys come out of the woodwork to ask her to do the same.
This movie is a unique twist on the book, Scarlet Letter. While in the book Hester was chastized for having a baby out of wedlock, Olive was treated the same for NOT sleeping around. Eventually, Olive has to take a look at her life, what she's done & decide if helping others & hurting herself is the best position to take.
This movie was a unique story, the actors were great, and the movie was a fun watch. I definitely recommend this one!
