SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS. DOUGHNUT CONTINUE IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN THIS MOVIE. UNLESS YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT SPOILERS THEN CONTINUE FORTH, YOUNG GRASSHOPPER.
Let me just begin by saying: there IS in fact such thing as a “Sexy George.”
Case and point.
In a movie about a strange high school in which teachers hear rumors about a girl getting paid for sex and don’t act upon it, Emma Stone plays a, surprisingly excellent with comebacks, fake whore… yea that’s pretty much it >.>
There are so many things wrong with this movie, yet despite it all i was thoroughly entertained.
Emma Stone puts on the performance of a life time, and nothing makes me happier than a perfectly cast movie. Even Amanda Bynes aces her role as “That snotty Jesus-freak office aide” was beautifully played, regardless of how many times I pictured myself aiming a rifle at her and blowing her head to bits… sorry, dark moment. Possibly the one character I felt was terrible and possibly irrelevant was Rhianna… or Rhiannon….”bih” … Ryano… Ryhorn, we’re calling her Ryhorn.
Now Ryhorn is supposed to be that main character’s best friend that most female characters have.
The Jannis and Damien to her Cady Heron
The Tommy to her Dylan Harper
The Lily to her Robin Scherbatsky
But Ryhorn… you done fucked up girl. Ignoring the fact that she pretty much just complained the entire movie, she is such a terrible best friend. She completely abandoned Olive in her time of need just because she failed to mention her fake sexual exploit. You know what they call people like her in the hood? … Well neither do I >.> But I assume it’s something along the lines of “A PETTY BITCH.”
PSA: Ladies and gentlemen, don’t be that friend. Stand by your friend in their time of need! Don’t Be A Ryhorn!
MOVING ON.
Olive’s Parents are the greatest two people on planet earth. If not for them (and Emma Stone’s witty one liners) this movie would be proclaimed mediocre at best. Pretty much everything that came out of their mouths made them sound like they had several personality disorders, which makes them freggin’ awesome! (Let’s be honest, crazy is always better)
Probably the greatest line that came out of Stanley Tucci, Dill Penderghast, was when he looked at his adopted black son and said “Where are you from originally?”
#DEAD #DEAD #DEAD
Golden.
It’s one liners like this that made the movie memorable. Stone’s OFF THE CHARTS ability to answer everything with sarcasm, which also so happens to be the only reason she survived such high school torment, dramatically increased my rating of this movie. We all know when you can walk away from movie and quote it on a daily basis, that makes it a great movie.
Aside from the main cast being insanely witty, this movie had a very lovable “Mean Girls-esque” background character banter.
Some of the greatest lines from Mean Girls were subtly said by insignificant outlying characters. We all know what I’m talking about
I can go on and on…
Easy A plays it smart and takes a page out of this style of ridiculousness which I very much appreciate in a comedy. When I can point excitedly at the screen laughing, screaming “DID YOU CATCH THAT HILARIOUS ONE LINER THAT WAS SUBTLY PLACED IN THERE BY THE WRITERS?” Not in those exact words…
Speaking of style, rather than present the movie as a normal high school story occurring as the movie moves along, they decided to tell it in from the point of view of a girl trying to apologize and make up for her mistakes throughout the movie all whilst coming up and presenting each “chapter” with a complicated but fun title. It was like watching a book :] which is a lot more fun than reading a book… jk, read kids… reading is good (unless you’re reading twilight, then… just… leave.)
Go read the Scarlet letter actually, amazing book PLUS a major part of this movie. A huge influence on the movie if not entirely just a modern day twist on the Scarlet Letter, one could argue. The addition of bits and pieces of the book to the movie greatly emphasized the intensity of the stress Olive was feeling and the crap she was going through. Of course, Hester Prynne’s punishment was a lot more harsh but again, MODERN DAY twist.
But seriously, read the book. “If you have a test on it rent the movie, but make sure it’s the original, not the Demi Moore version where she talks in a fake British accent and takes a lot of baths. To say that one was freely adapted is… ”
Even to the very end of the movie, Easy A delivers by referencing all the memorable 80’s movies. Say anything, Can’t Buy me Love, and of course, el Club de desayuno (which obviously means the breakfast club, for you idiots who can’t use context clues).
Olive mentions earlier how shes wishes her life was like on of those movies and AWWWW look here comes Woodchuck Todd with a boombox! Oh and whats that, A LAWNMOWER!? 😮 aww so cute.. and wait oh one more… A FREEZE FRAME WITH THEIR FISTS IN THE AIR AND “Don’t You forget about me” PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND.
SO. CUTE. Good for you Woodchuck Todd.
And that’s how you end a movie. A cliche as fuck ending that was still very cleverly set up and made the audience smile.
Take notes, M. Night Shyamalan. YOU DON’T NEED A RIDICULOUS TWIST IN EVERY SINGLE MOVIE.
-______-
All in all,
Emma Stone, thank you for being so beautiful, talented and witty.
Aly Michalka, next time you’re cast as a best friend, please be a good best friend
Amanda Bynes… Da fuck did you go? >.>
“Easy A“, you managed to deliver a very memorable and hilarious high school comedy that many would call today’s generation’s “Mean Girls.” Even though you show girls everywhere that in order to get out of being invisible at high school, you have to pretend you’re sleeping with the majority of your classmates. Even if you look like Emma Stone.
If you’ve seen, “Easy A” tell me what you thought of the movie! Do you agree or disagree with anything I wrote? Would you put it up there with the greats of rom com as well? and finally, seriously, HOW HOT IS EMMA STONE? She’s even hotter with her sarcasm and her pocket full of sunshine.
If you haven’t seen it, go watch it. You’re such a loser… most of the world has seen this movie. The fuck are you doing with your life?
Insecure Rating: 7.5/10
Feedback is very much welcome. Thanks for coming. Until Next time!
