Why, then, am I so pleased with Easy A? Because the movie, despite a few flaws, seems to have been made by higher intelligence, and because it catapults Emma Stone into a higher place reserved for American actors who can handle elevated language with casually dazzling aplomb.
Judged on a curve, set by the testosterone-fueled raunch-a-thons that have dominated teen comedies from "American Pie" to "Superbad" and beyond, Easy A deserves an A+, with extra credit for lack of misogyny, c--- talk, or flatulence.

Report
Favourite movie of all time. Emma Stone is amazing. This movies reflects how society ****. One day you're are no one, the next day you can become a slut or whatever for one rumour(without confirmation). I enjoyed it and I've seen it a hundred times. If you want to laugh/cry/enjoy/laugh, then watch it! you wont regret it.
Report
Director Will Gluck (Fired Up!) shows wicked comic timing and uncommon warmth in an overworked genre.
Gluck also directed "Fired Up!," another teen charade with lots of quick-witted verbal raunch. Easy A does a few things better.
Easy A isn't nearly as good a movie as "Clueless," Ms. Heckerling's contemporary pastiche of the Jane Austen novel "Emma." But the one-liner-loaded screenplay has the same insouciant charm.
Easy A has some agreeable fast banter, but it's so self-consciously stylized that it wears you out.
The script, credited to one Bert V. Royal, seems to have been run through an out-of-control sass machine (seriously, it'll make you appreciate Diablo Cody's tact).

Report
For a breakout role, Emma Stone did a pretty darn good job, but that doesn't save the movie from the quirkness that is Amanda Bynes, whose character becomes annoying instead of threatening. Some of the humor in the movie feels really forced and unituitive, but the setup is nice and it did have some worthy laughs for a comedy about rumors.
Report
Basically, it's a crude, cruel attempt to make fun of Christians, and make them look like annoying and self righteous jerks. As a Christian myself, this movie was extremely annoying, as we are, for the most part, nothing like that. I also found the movie to be overly politically correct and shameless. It even tries to make teenage sex look harmless. Then there's the problem of the movie thinking it's so much more funny than it actually is. So no matter how good the performances are I just can't recommend it.
Report
I couldn't sit through the first 30 minutes of this; it was like torture. Once again, the media has another annoyingly stupid teen movie that has dumb, unlikeable characters and a dull plot.
