'Easy A' Film Delivered Funny Stuff With Emma Stone

By Mike Stack


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.

Ms. Emma Stone should be a comedian because she was a total riot in this flick. Her and Amanda Bynes totally delivered some good drama and comedy. The film 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.

Things don't end there. Olive helps out her gay friend Brandon (Byrd) from continuing to get picked on by pretending to have sex with him at a party. From there, the rumors get worse. However, Olive embraces them,and continues to make them stronger by taking offers from more guys. As the hype of her being a whore continue to perpetuate,she plays up the role in more convincing style by wearing skimpy outfits with the letter "A" on 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 comedy just never stopped coming in this film. It was never boring,and kept me very entertained the entire time. Emma Stone is a jewel of an actress. This movie made me a fan of hers for sure. It was good to see Amanda Bynes back on the bigscreen. She was funny as well. Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley did a good job as the cool,mellow guy named Woodchuck Todd. If you wanna laugh really hard, check out this flick. I gave it an easy "A+" grade.
